Auryn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I think I'd like it
I mostly don't know what I need.
I can't quite decide it
They tell me happiness is life.
But I can't find it
And even though I'm 17.
I don't feel like it.
So bring me some joy
It's not allowed in here
Could you fill my void?
Bring me some joy
It's not allowed in here
And though she's only 17
I feel like I could help
With mostly talk of dreams
And what it's like in Hell
She tells me
Happiness is like and empty wishing well
And even though she'17
You could never tell
So bring me some joy
It's not allowed in here
Could you fill my void?
Bring me some joy
It's not allowed in here
It's not allowed in here
Because your life's not over
You've only made mistakes
You only need to escape
It's lonely being Brave.
In "Seventeen" by Auryn, the lyrics depict a teenager who is struggling with finding happiness and meaning in life despite being told that happiness is everything. The opening line "She said I'm only 17, but I think I'd like it" suggests that the singer is seeking some sort of joy or excitement in life. However, the following line "I mostly don't know what I need. I can't quite decide it" indicates a sense of confusion and uncertainty about what this joy or excitement might look like.
The singer then turns to the listener, asking them to bring them some joy and fill their void. The repetition of the phrase "It's not allowed in here" suggests that the singer feels trapped and unable to escape their current situation. Despite being only 17, the singer feels beyond their years, exclaiming "even though she's only 17, I feel like I could help". This line is followed by "With mostly talk of dreams and what it's like in Hell", indicating a sense of hardship or pain that the singer has experienced in life.
The latter half of the song is a conversation between the singer and the listener. The listener tries to assure the singer that their mistakes do not define them, and that they only need to escape their current situation to find happiness. The closing line "It's lonely being brave" suggests that the singer is trying to be strong and brave in the face of adversity, but is struggling with feeling isolated and alone.
