Young
VACATIONS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day goes by
And where was I?
Didn't think I'd still be here
Just to make things clear

What's the use?
I'm not talking sense
Call it a ruse
On myself
I wanted to go
I wanted to say
All things come to pass
With time
But I want everything now
To be all-mine

You think it's all over
Get up and try again
You've got to act your age, darling
Before you fall back in

What's the use?
I'm not talking sense
Call it a ruse
On myself
I wanted to go
I wanted to say
All things come to pass
With time
But I want everything now
To be all-mine

Overall Meaning

The song "Young" by the band VACATIONS is a reflection on the feeling of being stuck in life and the desire to make a change. The lyrics describe the feeling of time passing by without achieving anything significant. The lines "Another day goes by and where was I?/Didn't think I'd still be here just to make things clear" express the sense of disappointment and frustration with oneself. The singer is aware that something needs to change but is unsure of how to make that happen. However, they are also aware that instant gratification is not the answer, as expressed in the line "But I want everything now to be alright."


The song's chorus reinforces the idea of the need for action and resilience. The line "You think it's all over, get up and try again" is a call to action, urging the listener to keep going despite setbacks. The line "You've got to act your age darling before you fall back in" is a subtle reminder that time is passing by, and each day matters. The singer is aware that they need to take control of their life, but there is a sense of urgency expressed in the last line "to be alright."


Overall, "Young" is a song that explores the feeling of being stuck in life and the need for change. It acknowledges that change takes time, but action must be taken, and to never give up on oneself. It is an anthem for those who feel lost and need motivation to keep going.


Line by Line Meaning

Another day goes by
Time continues to pass


And where was I?
I feel lost and unimportant


Didn't think I'd still be here
I expected to have moved on by now


Just to make things clear
I want to communicate my true feelings


What's the use?
I feel hopeless and defeated


I'm not talking sense
I lack clarity in my thoughts


Call it a ruse
I am deceiving myself


On myself
I am to blame for my circumstances


I wanted to go
I had aspirations


I wanted to say
I had things I needed to express


All things come to pass
Everything has an end


With time
Given enough time


But I want everything now
I am impatient


To be alright
For everything to be okay


You think it's all over
You believe it's too late to take action


Get up and try again
Don't give up, keep pushing forward


You've got to act your age darling
Be mature and responsible


Before you fall back in
Before you repeat past mistakes

If there's one song that never fails to comfort me whenever I'm feeling down,sad,miserable or just straight up depressed...
It'd be this very song right here.

Whenever I feel like I made a huge mistake or accidentally broke down or even got mad,listening to this song just calms me down.

It's like the song is telling me that it's okay,everything will be fine.Yes you messed up,but it doesn't mean that it's the end of the world or anything.
At the end of the day,it's just one bad day,not one bad life

It hits even harder when I start crying yet feel myself feeling gradually better as the song starts to end.



I just wanna say that this song is an absolute piece of art as it has helped many(including myself) with dealing their own problems in this bittersweet world that we live in

Just imagine

It's still dark outside
Everyone at home is asleep
It's 4:00 am in the morning
You're getting ready for school
This song on repeat
Total silence
Someone's memory inside the head



HEAVEN
