Shaky Ground
Freedom Fry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling like the night is young,
Everybody's time will come,
Nobody wants to leave alone,
hey there, won't you take me home?
I don't wanna lose,
but maybe I should chance it,
Feel out of my years, teenager at the door,
When the sun is in my eyes,
Will we still be dancing, On shaky ground?
Na na na, Hey hey, Na na na,
Hey, Na na na, Hey hey, Na na na,

Nothing in my world is wrong,
(At) least I'm not the only one,
Nobody wants to live alone,
hey there, won't you sing along?
I don't wanna choose,
'cause I could never change it,
Feel out of my years, teenager at the door,
When the sun is in my eyes,
We will still be dancing, On shaky ground?
Na na na, Hey hey, Na na na,
Hey, Na na na, Hey hey, Na na na,
We build our lives, our fears inside,
They stand on shaky ground,
When all we are starts to collide,
Well, just look what we've found,
Just look what we've found,
I don't wanna lose, but maybe I should chance it,
Feel out of my years, teenager at the door,
When the sun is in my eyes,
Will we still be dancing, On shaky ground?




Na na na, Hey hey, Na na na,
Hey, Na na na, Hey hey, Na na na

Overall Meaning

In "Shaky Ground", Freedom Fry sheds light on the paradoxical nature of life where everything is fleeting and constantly changing yet we strive for stability and permanence. The lyrics suggest that everyone is just trying to enjoy the moment while it lasts, hesitant to leave and face the unknown. The singer is feeling a sense of youthfulness despite being older at heart and is hesitant to make any decisions that could alter the course of her life. The laid-back tempo and the simple, repetitive chorus "Na na na, Hey hey, Na na na, Hey" create a carefree atmosphere that is perfect for dancing your worries away. The song has an infectious quality to it that makes you feel good and forget about your troubles, even if it's just for a moment.

Sentindo-se como a noite é jovem
tempo de todo mundo virá
Ninguém quer deixar sozinho
Hey lá, você não vai me levar para casa?
Eu não quero perder
Mas talvez eu devesse chance
Se sentir fora de meus anos, adolescente na porta
Quando o sol está nos meus olhos
Será que vamos ainda estar dançando, em terreno movediço?
Na na na, hey hey, nd nd nd
Ei, na na na, hey hey, nd nd nd

Nada no meu mundo está errado
(At) menos eu não sou o único
Ninguém quer viver sozinho
Ei, você não vai cantar junto?
Eu não quero escolher
Porque eu nunca poderia alterá-lo
Se sentir fora de meus anos, adolescente na porta
Quando o sol está nos meus olhos
Ainda estaremos dançando, em terreno movediço?
Na na na, hey hey, nd nd nd
Ei, na na na, hey hey, nd nd nd

Nós construímos nossas vidas, nossos medos dentro
Eles estão em terreno movediço
Quando todos nós somos começa a colidir
Bem, basta olhar o que nós encontramos
Basta olhar o que nós encontramos
Eu não quero perder, mas talvez eu deveria chance
Se sentir fora de meus anos, adolescente na porta
Quando o sol está nos meus olhos
Será que vamos ainda estar dançando, em terreno movediço?
Na na na, hey hey, nd nd nd
Ei, na na na, hey hey, nd nd nd



@RESIDENTECH1

the french version inspired me to try and translate the lyrics into one of my local languages where I come from (Zambia, translated partially to chi Nyanja)

ni nvela monga siku eye ikali e ngono, ali ense ntawu yake isa bwela, kulibe muntu wane afuna kunkala eka, ewe suzani peleka ku nyumba yako, sini funa ku loosa, kapena ni pesekepo chabe ( or ni yeseko chabe)...na,na,ewe na,na ewe, kulibe chili na milandu mu chalo changa, si ndine neka ni nvela so kulibe muntu wane afuna kunkala eka, ewe apo suza yimba iye nyimbo pamozi na ine, sini funa ku sanka, chifukwa sini'nga chinge..... olo zuba e sanika mu menso mwanga, ti zambo vina pa modzi.....na,na,ewe na,na ewe...wona vane ta peza X2, .na,na,ewe na,na ewe


Chichewa Translation

Kumva ngati usiku ndi wachinyamata
Nthawi ya aliyense idzafika
Palibe amene akufuna kuchoka yekha
Hei, simunditengera kunyumba?
sindikufuna kutaya
Koma mwina ndiyenera kuchita mwayi
Ndikumva kutha kwa zaka zanga, wachinyamata pakhomo
Pamene dzuwa lili m'maso mwanga
Kodi tidzakhalabe kuvina pamalo osagwedezeka?
Na na na, hey hey, na na na
Hei, na na na, Hei, na na na
Na na na, hy hei, na na na
Hei, na na na, Hei, na na na
Palibe cholakwika m'dziko langa
(Ochepera) sindine ndekha
Palibe amene amafuna kukhala yekha
Hei, simuimba limodzi?
Sindikufuna kusankha
Chifukwa ine sindikanakhoza konse kuchisintha icho
Ndikumva kutha kwa zaka zanga, wachinyamata pakhomo
Pamene dzuwa lili m'maso mwanga
Tidzakhalabe kuvina pamalo osagwedezeka?
Na na na, hey hey, na na na
Hei, na na na, Hei, na na na
Na na na, hy hei, na na na
Hei, na na na, Hei, na na na
Chabwino...
Timamanga miyoyo yathu, mantha athu mkati
Iwo amaima pa nthaka yosagwedezeka
Pamene tonsefe timayamba kugundana
Chabwino, tangoyang'anani zomwe ife tapeza
Tangoyang'anani zomwe tapeza
Na na na, hey hey, na na na
Hei, na na na, Hei, na na na
sindikufuna kutaya
Koma mwina ndiyenera kuchita mwayi
Ndikumva kutha kwa zaka zanga, wachinyamata pakhomo
Pamene dzuwa lili m'maso mwanga
Kodi tidzakhalabe kuvina pamalo osagwedezeka?
Na na na, hey hey, na na na
Hei, na na na, Hei, na na na
Na na na, hy hei, na na na
Hei, na na na, Hei, na na na
