Young Again
Hardwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dreamed of a place in the sky
Playing in the fields
Battling with my shields
Bows made out of twine
I wish I could see this world again
Through those eyes
See the child in me
Never growing old
Will we ever feel young again
Will we ever feel young again
Will we ever feel young again
We want to feel young
We want to feel young again
When I was a boy
I searched for a world that's unknown
All we have is fun
Everybody runs
Until the sun goes down
I wish I could see this world again
Through those eyes
See the child in me
In my fantasy
Never growing old
Will we ever feel young again
Will we ever feel young again
Will we ever feel young again
We want to feel young
We want to feel young again
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
In Hardwell's song "Young Again," the artist speaks about reminiscing on the childhood he once had and the nostalgic memories he holds. The song expresses the desire to relive those childhood fantasies such as playing with bows made out of twine, battling with shields, and playing in the fields. He longs to witness the world once again through the innocent eyes of his childhood self and to never grow old. The song questions whether we will ever feel young again and emphasizes the need to feel young, to recapture the sense of joy and freedom that often accompanies childhood.
The lyrics of "Young Again" is an anthem for anyone who is nostalgic, longing to recapture the carefree feeling of their childhood. It embodies the thought that as we grow old, life becomes filled with responsibilities, and our sense of imagination that used to be heightened as children seems to diminish. The song reminds us that despite the difficulties of growing up, we must strive to maintain the sense of youthfulness and optimism we once had.
