Teenage Pacifier
Mustasch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I'm here to control your faith
What was stolen, I'll reclaim
And you know it, I'll do it
I'll make you all you'll have to follow me
I'm a charger in the lead
Finally my voice is coming through
I know what I do, and I do what I have to do
I'm a teenage pacifier
They were wrong, I was right
Sweet birdie fly
To the nest where the others hide
Little mother cry
I'll make you all you'll have to follow me
I'm a charger, I'm the lead
Finally my voice is coming through
I know what I do, and I do what I have to do
I'm a teenage pacifier
The lyrics of Mustasch's song Teenage Pacifier could be interpreted in many ways, but one possible meaning is that the song is about someone who has been underestimated and disregarded for a long time, but is finally coming into their own and taking control of their life. The first two lines of the song immediately establish a confrontational tone: "Your life has been a waste / Now I'm here to control your faith." The singer is asserting their authority over someone who has probably been seen as weak or ineffectual in the past. However, the next two lines suggest that the singer is actually trying to right some wrongs: "What was stolen, I'll reclaim / And you know it, I'll do it." This could be interpreted as the singer trying to take back something that has been unfairly taken from them or a group they represent.
The chorus of the song, "I'm a teenage pacifier," is both empowering and somewhat ambiguous. On one hand, it suggests that the singer is a force for calm and stability. On the other hand, the word "pacifier" can also mean someone who is merely appeasing others or keeping them quiet. The second verse of the song seems to suggest that the singer is part of a larger group ("To the nest where the others hide"), and that they have been proven right in the face of opposition ("They were wrong, I was right"). The final lines of the song, "Finally my voice is coming through / I know what I do, and I do what I have to do," reiterate the message of the chorus: that the singer is finally asserting themselves and taking control.
Overall, the lyrics of Teenage Pacifier are open to interpretation, but they could be seen as a call to stand up for oneself and take control of one's life in the face of adversity. The themes of empowerment and rebelling against unfair circumstances are universal, which makes this particular song resonate with many people.
