Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't waste no precious time
All my friends in the loop
Making up for teenage crime (-ime [x?])[4x]
We don't sleep when the sun goes down
We don't waste no precious time
All my friends in the loop
Don't go away [6x]
The lyrics to Adrian Lux; R. Hynne's song Teenage Crime describe the idea of living life to the fullest without wasting time or sleeping when there's so much to enjoy during the late nights. The lyrics convey a sense of camaraderie and general excitement among the singer and his friends. The line "Making up for teenage crime" most likely refers to the idea of teenage rebellion, or angst against the mundane, monotonous life of school and growth. Living life on the edge and enjoying every moment without inhibition or worry is, in a sense, a way of rebelling against the norm, and the singer is expressing the irrepressible spirit of that teenage desire.
The second verse of the song repeats the first, with the only change being the omission of the word "crime" and its replacement with "age." The sudden switch in words seems to suggest that, while the singer and his friends may be trying to make up for their past wrongdoings, they also may just be trying to enjoy their youth before it's gone, before they grow up and have to face the challenges of life with their youthful energy and carefree spirit gone.
In conclusion, the lyrics of Teenage Crime describe the feeling of excitement, camaraderie, and rebellion that often comes with being a teenager. The song encapsulates the youthful desire to live life to the fullest and to experience everything the world has to offer without wasting any time.
