Candy Bars
Connor Zwetsch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just way too much gas station wine
Lavished with love by our parents who care into
the eyes of authority we fearlessly stare
And lately time goes by so fast
So before, its dry razor glass
To the nights, so dark, we see all the stars
in a town, so small, that we call it ours
The lyrics to Connor Zwetsch's song Candy Bars depicts the carefree lifestyle of youth, free from any battle wounds or forehead lines but fueled by way too much gas station wine. Despite being lavished with love by their parents who care, they fearlessly stare into the eyes of authority, unafraid to take on the world. As time goes by so fast, they realize that they need to cherish every moment before it passes them by like a dry razor glass.
The lyrics also touch on the beauty of small town life where they see all the stars in the sky, taking ownership of the town that they call theirs. In their mason jars, they mix whiskey and coke as they indulge in the pleasures of life. The song speaks to the youthful spirit of rebellion against conventions and norms, as they refuse to conform to what society expects from them.
