Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'til I harm myself, til my legs unfold
I could never leave my mind
The memories are all behind and you
You know I tried
You could never change my mind
The air was cold when I lost myself and
(no matter what)
I know
(no matter what)
And all the bright light I've been in was
The worth I'd do it all again and I know
(no matter what)
I know
(no matter what)
I've set everything away
And we harm ourselves
We throw away
Well if I ever leave my mind
The memories will fade away in time
You know I try, know I tried
Don't change my mind
The air was cold when I lost myself and
I'm just like you but I'm someone else and I know
(no matter what)
I know
(no matter what)
And all the bright light I've been in was
The worth I'd do it all again and I know
(no matter what)
I know
(no matter what)
Life, lust, love, fuck
Life (is what we make it)
Lust (is where we are)
Love (never fake it)
Life, lust, love, fuck
Well keep calm and carry on
Keep calm and carry on for me
The air was cold when I lost myself and
I'm just like you but I'm someone else and I know
(no matter what)
I know
(no matter what)
And all the bright light I've been in was
The worth I'd do it all again and I know
(no matter what)
I know
(no matter what)
The lyrics to Avion Roe's song "Paige and 14th" convey a sense of determination and self-reliance, even in the face of difficult circumstances. The first stanza begins with the singer declaring their independence, stating that they are "set being on my own". However, as the stanza progresses, it becomes clear that this independence comes at a cost: the singer acknowledges that they may harm themselves if left to their own devices. Despite this, they insist that they could never leave their mind, suggesting a resilience and inner strength that allows them to persevere through hardship. The chorus reinforces this determination, with the repeated phrase "no matter what" emphasizing a sense of unyielding commitment to one's choices and beliefs.
The second stanza shifts to a more reflective tone, with the singer looking back on past experiences that have shaped who they are. The line "I'm just like you but I'm someone else" suggests a sense of alienation or disconnect from those around them, perhaps due to the singer's strong sense of individuality. However, they ultimately affirm that all the bright lights they've experienced in life were worth it, and that they would do it all again. The song ends with a call to action to "keep calm and carry on", once again emphasizing the idea of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
Overall, "Paige and 14th" is a song about the struggle to maintain independence and individuality in the face of societal pressure and personal difficulties. The lyrics encourage listeners to stay true to themselves, even if it means going against the norm.
