Little 15
Eternal Deformity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You help her forget
The world outside
You're not part of it yet
And if you could drive
You could drive her away
To a happier place
To a happier day
And in your smile
She could escape there
Just for a while
Little fifteen
Little fifteen
Why take the smooth with the rough
When things run smooth
It's already more than enough
She knows your mind
Is not yet in league
With the rest of the world
And it's little intrigues
Do you understand
Do you know what she means
As time goes by
And when you've seen what she's seen
You will
Little fifteen
Little fifteen
You help her forget
The world outside
You're not part of it yet
And if you could drive
You could drive her away
To a happier place
To a happier day
That exists in your mind
And in your smile
She could escape there
Just for a while
Little fifteen
Little fifteen
Why does she have to defend
Her feelings inside
Why pretend
She's not had a life
A life of near misses
Now all that she wants
Is three little wishes
She wants to see with your eyes
She wants to smile with your smile
She wants a nice surprise
Every once in a while
She wants to see with your eyes
She wants to smile with your smile
She wants a nice surprise
Every once in a while
Little fifteen
The lyrics of Eternal Deformity's "Little 15" revolves around the singer's relationship with a young girl who is only 15 years old. The singer wants to help the little girl forget her troubles and escape her reality, at least for a little while. He believes he can provide her a happier world in his mind that is free from the difficulties of the real world. He sees himself as somebody who can drive her towards this world, but he understands he is not part of her reality yet. The little girl is still innocent and inexperienced, and he knows her perspective is different from the world. However, the singer believes that as time goes by, she will see what he sees and she will understand.
In the second stanza, the Little 15 is introduced to the concept that sometimes in life, things can run smoothly, and that's more than enough. He recognizes that she knows he is not yet part of the world's intricacies and its politics. However, she wants him to understand her feelings and sees things through her eyes. She wants him to take care of her and protect her in a world where she has already had a life full of close calls.
The song seems to be about a older man's relationship with a girl who is too young to have matured mentally, but with whom he shares a deep emotional connection. It is about the singer's attempt to provide relief to the little girl from the world outside, which she can't handle alone.
Line by Line Meaning
Little fifteen
Addressing a young and naive person
You help her forget
You provide emotional support and distraction
The world outside
The harsh and cruel real world
You're not part of it yet
Being inexperienced and innocent
And if you could drive
If you could change the situation
You could drive her away
You could help her escape
To a happier place
To a peaceful and joyful environment
To a happier day
To a better and brighter future
That exists in your mind
In your imagination and dreams
And in your smile
And in your positive vibes and energy
She could escape there
She could find relief and solace there
Just for a while
Temporarily, but none the less helpful
Little fifteen
Repeating the addressed person
Why take the smooth with the rough
Why endure hardships when things are already good
When things run smooth
When life flows easily
It's already more than enough
Being grateful for what one has
She knows your mind
She senses you are inexperienced
Is not yet in league
Is not yet on par
With the rest of the world
With more experienced people
And it's little intrigues
And it's simple pleasures
Do you understand
Do you comprehend her perspective
Do you know what she means
Do you perceive and empathize with her pain
As time goes by
As life advances
And when you've seen what she's seen
And when you share her experiences
You will
You will understand
You help her forget
Recalling previous sentiments
The world outside
Addressing the harsh reality again
You're not part of it yet
Stating unfamiliarity with reality once again
And if you could drive
Using the same scenario as before
You could drive her away
Expressing the ability to make life better
To a happier place
Desiring positivity and joy for her
To a happier day
Desiring a better future for her
That exists in your mind
Repeating the imaginative element in improving her situation
And in your smile
Repeating the positive vibes in improving her situation
She could escape there
Repeating the notion that she could find relief in imagination
Just for a while
Repeating that the relief is temporary
Little fifteen
Repeating the addressed person once again
Why does she have to defend
Questioning the necessity of concealing emotions
Her feelings inside
Addressing emotional turmoil
Why pretend
Motive for hiding emotions
She's not had a life
Again, appealing to the inexperience of the addressed person
A life of near misses
A life of almost-there moments
Now all that she wants
Expressing what is needed
Is three little wishes
Stating what is wanted
She wants to see with your eyes
Desiring to be understood
She wants to smile with your smile
Desiring to be happy
She wants a nice surprise
Desiring spontaneity
Every once in a while
The frequency of surprise is not an issue
She wants to see with your eyes
Reemphasizing the need to be empathized with
She wants to smile with your smile
Reemphasizing the need for happiness
She wants a nice surprise
Reemphasizing the need for spontaneity
Every once in a while
Concluding the last part of the song with a repetition
Little fifteen
Ending the song by addressing the same person once again
