as I'm getting older
I'm feeling so young
breathe in the air
like life just begun
I'm on a rant
yes I have come
thinking all in the spring time
look what has sprung
lord here I come
for you can know
and look who I brung
we've come as one
Ahahhah
Ahahhah
Ahahhah
whooh
once a man
twice a child
once a man
twice a child
once a man
twice a child
once a man
twice a child
once a man
twice a child!

so while you're alive
give them the highest vibes
cause before you die




you gone end up again a child
Ohhhoh ooohhoh ohhohhoh

Overall Meaning

Interpretation:


The lyrics of “Ageing” by Gonjasufi speak of the dichotomy between growing old and feeling youthful at the same time. The repetition of the word “ageing” reinforces the theme of growing old, but the following line of “feeling so young” subverts this expectation. The singer acknowledges their increasing age but remarks that they still feel young at heart. They revel in the feeling of being alive and inhaling the fresh air, as if life has just begun for them. When the singer says they are on a “rant,” it could imply they are on a passionate tirade or a journey of self-discovery. They become contemplative about the season of spring, when everything is reborn and renewed.


The phrase “lord here I come” alludes to a religious sentiment and a sense of surrender to a higher power. When the singer mentions bringing someone along with them, it could be a reference to a friend, a partner, or a spiritual guide. The repetition of the phrase “once a man, twice a child” suggests that even as we age, we are still children at heart, regardless of our physical or mental maturity. The song culminates with a call to action to spread positivity while we are still alive, as we are bound to return to the innocence of childhood after death.


Overall, the song presents a contemplative and introspective view on ageing and the passage of time. Its message may be interpreted as a call to live in the moment and to cherish life before it passes by.

as I'm getting older
Despite my age increasing


I'm feeling so young
I still feel youthful


breathe in the air
Take in the surroundings


like life just begun
As if there is still much life to experience


I'm on a rant
I am in a state of deep thought


yes I have come
I have arrived


thinking all in the spring time
Reflecting on youth and growth


look what has sprung
Take note of what has evolved


lord here I come
I am ready to face the consequences


for you can know
We can find out together


and look who I brung
Accompanied by another


we've come as one
Together, we have experienced this


once a man
At one point, an adult


twice a child
But aging brings us back to a state of vulnerability


so while you're alive
Make the most of your life


give them the highest vibes
Spread positivity to others


cause before you die
Because inevitably, life ends


you gone end up again a child
And we return to a helpless state once more
