But if you were to dig a little deeper, you would soon discover that they're not always about expressing joy, happiness and dancing. What is more, their music actually manages to transcend generation gaps. Billie, moreover, is not a person per se, but rather represents the inherent quality the band wants to encourage their listeners to find within themselves. Billie is about not being afraid of being naive, pretentious or corny, to be proud of what you are and have the guts to say, "Meet us there at the Nobel Square if you wanna change the world with us".

Billie the Vision & the Dancers got together in Malmö during the recordings of the first album in the spring of 2004. The Singer, Songwriter Lars Lindquists had previous material from a solo project. One person wasn't enough he thought, and had persuaded five more members to join the project. Most of them old friends from his home town Bräkne-Hoby in Blekinge, and on top of that a new friend from Borlänge.

The debut I Was So Unpopular in School and Now They're Giving Me This Beautiful Bicycle released on their own label Love Will Pay the Bills got great reviews in the press and also got nominated at Manifest, the Swedish prize award for records released on indie labels.

2005 saw the release of The World According To Pablo and in 2007 "Where The Ocean Meets My Hand" was released.
"I Used to Wander These Streets" was released on June 4th 2008.
All albums are available for download at the band's website for any amount of donation - or none.

Current group members are:
Silvio Arismendi - percussion
Frida Brattgård - trumpet, accordion
Maria Carlsson - bass guitar

We Won´t Get Any Younger
Billie the Vision & the Dancers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We won't get any younger

Sometimes I look at you
I think that you deserve more
than anyone can ever offer you
But I am here I'm standing next to you
Will still be standing when you're 64

I wish that we could go some place far away
I wish we could afford it
Some place to take a break
some place with no connection
with no connection to the dirty world

We won't get any younger

This is our world
We can do what we want to
That simple thought has kept me up all night
I'm too young not to see that the best days could be ahead of me
and I'm too restless to retire

We won't get any younger

A mouth full of words and my pockets full of melodies
I kept Pablo in a cage for too long
And the radio people suck the proudest men and women
They keep ignoring me as I was dirt

Time will not come back to you
and time will not come back to me
I'm gonna die with a smile on my face
and I'm gonna die beside you

We won't get any younger

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "We Won't Get Any Younger" by Billie the Vision & the Dancers convey a sense of longing and an appreciation for the passage of time. The song begins with the singer acknowledging the worthiness of their partner, feeling that they deserve more than what can be offered. Despite this, the singer stands by their side and expresses a commitment that will endure even as they both age.

The lyrics then shift to a desire to escape from the troubles of the world and go somewhere far away, a place where they can disconnect and take a break. This longing for disconnection and a refuge highlights a dissatisfaction with the current state of things and a yearning for something better.

The chorus repeats the line "We won't get any younger" as a reminder that time is passing, and there is a sense of urgency to embrace life and make the most of it. The singer reflects on their youth and asserts that they are too young to give up or resign themselves to a peaceful retirement. There is a determination to continue seeking out the best days, even if they are still ahead.

The lyrics take a more introspective turn in the final verse, mentioning a mouth full of words and pockets full of melodies. This can be interpreted as the singer's creative spirit, the need to express themselves through music and words. They mention keeping "Pablo" (possibly referring to a part of themselves or their creativity) in a cage for too long, suggesting a feeling of restraint or untapped potential.

The song closes with the statement that time will not come back, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life. However, the singer expresses a desire to face death with a smile on their face, remaining by the side of their loved one until the end.

Overall, "We Won't Get Any Younger" is a reflection on the passage of time, the longing for escape, and the determination to live life to the fullest despite the inevitable aging process.

Line by Line Meaning

We won't get any younger
We are aware that we are getting older and time is passing by.

Sometimes I look at you
Occasionally, when I observe you closely,

I think that you deserve more
I believe that you are worthy of greater things

than anyone can ever offer you
than what anyone else can provide you

But I am here I'm standing next to you
However, I am by your side, physically and emotionally supporting you

Will still be standing when you're 64
I will continue to be there for you even when we grow older

I wish that we could go some place far away
I desire to escape to a distant location

I wish we could afford it
I wish we had the financial means to do so

Some place to take a break
A location where we can relax and unwind

some place with no connection
A place devoid of any ties or links

with no connection to the dirty world
Disconnected from the harsh realities of the world

This is our world
The world we inhabit and influence

We can do what we want to
We have the freedom to pursue our desires

That simple thought has kept me up all night
This straightforward notion has kept me awake throughout the night

I'm too young not to see that the best days could be ahead of me
I am still too youthful to disregard the possibility that better days lie ahead

and I'm too restless to retire
Moreover, I am too eager and full of energy to settle down or stop working

A mouth full of words and my pockets full of melodies
My thoughts and ideas are overflowing, and I have a wealth of musical inspiration

I kept Pablo in a cage for too long
I restricted my creativity and artistic expression for an extended period

And the radio people suck the proudest men and women
Radio stations disregard and dismiss even the most talented individuals

They keep ignoring me as I was dirt
They persistently overlook and disregard my worth, treating me as insignificant

Time will not come back to you
Time cannot be regained or relived by you

and time will not come back to me
Nor can time be reclaimed or revisited by me

I'm gonna die with a smile on my face
When the end comes, I will depart from this world content and fulfilled

and I'm gonna die beside you
Furthermore, I am destined to pass away beside your side

We won't get any younger
Once again, we acknowledge that we are aging and time is passing by.
