So far away from knowin' where I'm goin'
I'm tryin' hard to find out who I am
They all say that I don't know what I'm doin'
I say they don't hardly understand
Why can't they remember?
I'll never forget
How these dreams can come undone
When you're young
You give what you give 'cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
They want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
When you're young
Everything seems perfect
Everything's okay (Everything's okay)
It will all get better now
At least that's what they say
But I don't see it coming [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/0-9/3_doors_down/when_youre_young.html ]
You give what you give 'cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
When you're young
Days really just seem longer
They say it's better this way
I hope one day I'm stronger than I feel
And I hope that it feels different than today
You give what you give 'cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
And they want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
It's already over and done
It's already over and done
When you're young
Why can't they remember?
I'll never forget
How these dreams come undone
When you're young
From what i'm getting from it, it's about how society and others shape you and influence you when you're young, so you aren't really yourself anymore. As if you're the reject of all rejects, trying to find out who you really are. When i listen to this, i think of one person trying to fight against the current of everyone else; trying to be their own person and not some one elses puppet.
This song is just way too awesome... I have a feeling that we're gonna be pleasantly surprised with this new 3 doors down album, ''time of my life'' is gonna be a superb album. =) can't wait to get my hands on it... :)
