Older Now
Faderhead Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This sort of thing has cropped up before
And it has always been due to human error

Another day is gone
And I got nothing done
A little older now
But can't get smart somehow
I cant find strength to wake

And won't get out of bed
I cancel one more plan
Find an excuse to make

And I've been in this place
A hundred times
Your words are burning through my nerves
But what they mean I still don't know

And it has always been due to human error

I know this can't be right
But I'm too dead to not hide
Proceed to numb my brain
And feel the same again
Another day is gone
And I got nothing done

I can't get smart somehow
But I am older now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Faderhead's song "Older Now" are reflective of the feelings of stagnation and frustration that can overtake a person as they age. The opening lines suggest that mistakes and missteps in life are often the result of human error, a confirmation that we are not perfect beings. From there, the lyrics become more personal as the singer laments his inability to be productive, his stalling in the face of everyday responsibilities. He is "a little older now," but can't seem to shake the feeling that he is not getting wiser with age.

The chorus of the song is the most poignant, as the singer repeats that he can't get smart somehow, that life has gone by and he has nothing to show for it. The repetition of "another day is gone" reinforces the idea that time is passing the singer by, but he cannot seem to find his place in the world. He feels helpless and stuck, unable to muster the strength to get out of bed or follow through on his plans. The bridge of the song introduces an element of confusion, as the singer acknowledges that others' words are affecting him deeply but he still doesn't understand their meaning. This suggests that the singer is open to change and self-improvement, but he doesn't know where to begin.

Line by Line Meaning

This sort of thing has cropped up before
I've experienced this situation multiple times in the past

And it has always been due to human error
Every time something goes wrong, it's because of human mistakes

Another day is gone
Another day has passed by

And I got nothing done
I didn't accomplish anything

A little older now
I've aged a bit since the last time I felt like this

But can't get smart somehow
I can't seem to figure out how to improve my situation

I cant find strength to wake
I'm lacking the motivation to get out of bed

And won't get out of bed
I'm refusing to leave my bed

I cancel one more plan
I've backed out of yet another arrangement

Find an excuse to make
I come up with a justification for my actions

And I've been in this place
I've experienced this state before

A hundred times
Far too many occasions to count

Your words are burning through my nerves
Whatever you're saying is bothering me intensely

But what they mean I still don't know
I'm still unclear on the message being conveyed

I know this can't be right
I'm aware that my current behavior is not ideal

But I'm too dead to not hide
I'm emotionally exhausted to the point where I can't help but withdraw

Proceed to numb my brain
I'm attempting to distract myself from my problems by numbing my mind

And feel the same again
But my issues still persist

But I am older now
Despite not making any progress, I've visibly aged since struggling with this before

Some say there are no eyes beneath his sunglasses. Only more music.

Right up to the point that someone that professes to love every song ever done by a band, those people we can stalkers. They aren't cool. Faderhead kick ass, yes. Like anyones music "no matter what", eh maybe not ALL of it. Love the music vibe Faderhead puts out, absolutely. Keep rockin' the Casaba!
