Untitled 21 Lyrics

I guess it's alright
That we never know
Just what it all means
And if there were ways
Of making change
Please show them to me
So if I could stop time
Then I would stay 21
'Cause everyday since that time
I wished I was young
I'm so paranoid
Of failing in life
I can't even think
And I'm so tired of worrying
That I can't even sleep
I'm so lost in my mind
That I can't touch the ground
And I've drank so much cheap wine
That I feel I might drown
Life's been so low
That I got so high
I can't even stand
I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please
Lend me a hand

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I recently turned 21 and can totally relate to this song. The pressures of growing up and making it in the world are intense. It's hard to maintain a focus on college and hold a job while friends are moving/growing away. Then there are problems with love interests and family, it becomes so hard to do the things I need/should do. All I care about is hanging out, drinking, trying to have a good time, but it takes hard work and dedication to something (like a career) to make a future for oneself. I've never been a religious person but lately I've been striving for a meaning to it all. When we were kids, it was all so much easier... "Untitled 21" is an honest portrait of how I feel toward life.
