Weightless
All Time Low (Live) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn a page, I'm a book half unread
I wanna be laughed at, laughed with, just because
I wanna feel weightless and that should be enough
Well I'm stuck in this fucking rut
Waiting on a second-hand pick-me-up
And I'm over getting older
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
I'm over getting old
Maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere
And this is my reaction to everything I fear
'Cause I've been going crazy, I don't wanna waste another minute here
I make believe that I impress
That every word, by design, turns a head
I wanna feel reckless, wanna live it up just because
I wanna feel weightless 'cause that would be enough
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
I'm over getting old
Maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere
And this is my reaction to everything I fear
'Cause I've been going crazy, I don't wanna waste another minute here
This could be all that I've waited for
(I've waited, I've waited for)
And this could be everything I don't wanna dream anymore
Maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year
And I've been going crazy, I'm stuck in here
Maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year
(It's gonna be my year)
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass as I go nowhere
(Go nowhere)
And this is my reaction to everything I fear
(Everything I fear)
'Cause I've been going crazy, I don't want to waste another minute here
In the song "Weightless," the singer is admitting that they are a mess and want to be able to let go of the weight that they feel. They want to be accepted and able to live life recklessly without fear. The chorus repeats the phrase "Maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year," implying that the singer is determined to make changes and take control of their life. They are tired of feeling stuck and going nowhere, and they don't want to waste another minute feeling this way.
The lyrics also reflect on the fear of getting older and not being able to achieve everything they want to in life. The line "And I'm over getting older" suggests a fear of running out of time to live a full life. The desire to feel weightless can be seen as a metaphor for being free from these fears and worries. The singer wants to let go of their problems and just enjoy life without feeling weighed down.
