Under 18
Rufio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're realizing
You're just the same as me
On and off, our episodes just
Chase away our dreams
I'm under 18
And the bottle ain't me
(That's what you think now)
There's something, I'm scared
But the passion ain't there
(Is that what you think?)
So open up and don't shed no tears
You gave me strength through the years
Can't you hear my song?
Don't you feel my beat?
Remnants of your love
Playing thick on me
Did live all along
Living without ease
Though we've grown apart
Really not deceived
What friends means
Our time is short
And it's taking over
All the ways we think
Getting old, and our bodies
Feel it changing as we speak
I'm drowning the fear
With the bottles of beer
(That's what you think now)
There's something, I'm scared
But the passion ain't there
(Is that what you think?)
So open up and don't shed no tears
You gave me strength through the years
Can't you hear my song?
Don't you feel my beat?
Remnants of your love
Playing thick on me
Did live all along
Living without ease
Though we've grown apart
Really not deceived
What friends means
So open up and don't shed no tears
You gave me strength through the years
Can't you hear my song?
Don't you feel my beat?
Remnants of your love
Playing thick on me
Did live all along
Living without ease
Though we've grown apart
Really not deceived
What friends means
The song "Under 18" by Rufio reflects on the themes of growing up, love, and friendship while dealing with personal issues. The song stresses that teenagers often feel lost, confused, and alone as they transition to adulthood. The opening lines of the song "nowhere to go, you're realizing you're just the same as me" portray the feeling of being stuck and not knowing where to turn. The chorus highlights the singer's struggles with drinking and fighting unfulfilling love while still searching for his passion.
The lines "Can't you hear my song?/ Don't you feel my beat?/ Remnants of your love/ Playing thick on me" suggest the singer is trying to find meaning and connection through music, but the underlying message is that this connection is often temporary and fleeting. They miss the bond and support from their old friends, who have now become distant grown-ups.
In conclusion, "Under 18" reflects on the struggles of growing up, such as finding oneself, dealing with relationships, and missing friends. It also discusses the challenges of coming to terms with life choices and the passage of time.

Nowhere to go
Feeling lost and directionless
You're realizing
Becoming aware of your situation
You're just the same as me
We're all struggling in our own ways
On and off, our episodes just
The ups and downs of life
Chase away our dreams
Make it hard to focus on our aspirations
I'm under 18
Still young and inexperienced
And the bottle ain't me
Drinking doesn't define me
(That's what you think now)
But maybe I'll change my mind later
There's something, I'm scared
I have fears and doubts
But the passion ain't there
I'm struggling to find my motivation
(Is that what you think?)
Is that how you see me?
So open up and don't shed no tears
Let's be honest with each other and not get emotional
You gave me strength through the years
I appreciate your support and encouragement
Can't you hear my song?
Can't you see who I really am?
Don't you feel my beat?
Don't you understand my struggles?
Remnants of your love
Memories of our relationship still linger
Playing thick on me
Having a big impact on me
Did live all along
I was always alive and striving
Living without ease
Life wasn't always easy for me
Though we've grown apart
We've gone our separate ways
Really not deceived
We both knew it was coming
What friends means
The value of true friendship
Our time is short
Life is brief
And it's taking over
Time seems to be flying by
All the ways we think
Our perspectives are changing as we age
Getting old, and our bodies
Physical changes accompany aging
Feel it changing as we speak
We can sense the changes happening
I'm drowning the fear
Trying to escape my fears
With the bottles of beer
Turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism
