Forever Young
Felix Jaehn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if we make it out
There's a rage where we can crash
Okay just one more round
Starts to melt the sound
Thank God we saved a little stash
Bodies on the floor
Teenage raised them, and nothing's wasted
'Cause everybody wants to stay
Forever young, young, and foolish
We got the look 'cause we rule it
We're just actin' stupid
Forever young, young, and foolish
We get high 'cause we use it
People say we abuse it
But we don't care
We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't, we don't care
We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't, we don't care
Both feet off of the ground
Our hands up in the clouds
And we're never coming down
We share the other half
Just blew up all the cash
They throw us out like we're white trash
Bodies on the floor
From the night before
Teenage raised them, and nothing's wasted
'Cause everybody wants to stay
Forever young, young, and foolish
We got the look 'cause we rulin'
We're just actin' stupid
Forever young, young, and foolish
We get high 'cause we use it
People say we abuse it
But we don't care hey
We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't, we don't care
We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't, we don't care
Forever young, young, and foolish
We got the look 'cause we rulin'
We're just actin' stupid
Forever young, young, and foolish
We get high 'cause we use it
People say we abuse it
But we don't care
The song "Forever Young" by Felix Jaehn featuring Lxandra is an upbeat and energetic track that celebrates the spirit of youth and carefree living. The lyrics speak of a night out with friends, where they become drunk and naked, but still manage to save a little stash for themselves. The partying continues with bodies on the floor from the night before, and everyone wanting to stay young, foolish, and free.
The lyrics "Forever young, young, and foolish, we got the look 'cause we rule it" signify the importance of living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest. The line "We're just acting stupid" suggests that they may be making irresponsible decisions, but they don't care because they are having fun. The chorus emphasizes the desire to remain young, perpetually exuberant and free from any limitations placed on them by society.
The song is an anthem for those who refuse to take life too seriously, and just enjoy the moment as it comes. It celebrates the temporary escapism of youth and the joy that it brings. The lyrics are cleverly crafted, and the upbeat tempo of the song matches the mood perfectly.
Line by Line Meaning
We're drunk and naked now
We are currently intoxicated and without clothing
But if we make it out
If we survive this experience
There's a rage where we can crash
There is a party we can attend
Okay just one more round
Let's have one more drink
Starts to melt the sound
The music becomes distorted
Thank God we saved a little stash
We are grateful that we saved some drugs
Bodies on the floor
There are people passed out or asleep on the ground
From the night before
From the previous night's activities
Teenage raised them, and nothing's wasted
Young people were responsible for the party and did not waste anything
'Cause everybody wants to stay
Everyone desires to remain young and carefree
Forever young, young, and foolish
We wish to remain young and naive
We got the look 'cause we rule it
We have a certain style and confidence
We're just actin' stupid
Our actions may seem foolish or irresponsible
We get high 'cause we use it
We use drugs to experience a high
People say we abuse it
Others view our drug use as excessive and unhealthy
But we don't care
We are not concerned with the negative opinions of others
Both feet off of the ground
We feel free and unencumbered
Our hands up in the clouds
We feel joy and euphoria
And we're never coming down
We do not want this feeling to end
We share the other half
We are generous and share our resources
Just blew up all the cash
We spent all of our money recklessly
They throw us out like we're white trash
We are kicked out of the party or location and treated poorly
We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't, we don't care
We are unbothered and unconcerned
Forever young, young, and foolish
We strive for agelessness and naivety
We got the look 'cause we rulin'
We have a confident and stylish appearance
We're just actin' stupid
Our behavior may seem foolish or irresponsible
We get high 'cause we use it
We use drugs to experience a high
People say we abuse it
Others view our drug use as excessive and unhealthy
But we don't care hey
We are not concerned with the negative opinions of others
