Teenage Teardrops
Heartsrevolution Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not too fast, too slow
Two steps and geronimo!
We got no fear
And a fate for danger

Too fast, too slow
Two steps and drown
No fear, no fear, no fear
No fear, no fear, no fear

Save me from the ceiling
Save me from myself
Nevermind, just save yourself
Keep your eyes on the prize
And your ear to the street
Or this game that you spit
Will become obsolete

Fuck the game, fuck the rules
Most of all, fuck you
It's just the way I feel
The more I smile the less I bruise

Don't stop and think about it
In your heart no one will doubt it
??
I can feel it breaking

Hang me from the ceiling
I got the feeling that it's my time to go
If today was my last day here
You're the last one that I'd wanna see

Is there anybody listening, anyone at all
'Cause I am too close to the edge
And I am afraid I'll fall
Not trying to be different
'Cause we're all the same
Please take what you need
Doctor, help fix my brain
Help fix my brain, help fix my brain

Fuck the shame, fuck the truth
Most of all, fuck you
It's just the way I feel
The more I smile the less I bruise

Hang me from the ceiling
I got the feeling that it's my time to go
If today was my last day here
You're the last one that I'd wanna see

And it doesn't ever feel right
No matter what it tastes like
So I'll take every last one of these pills
To kill what's inside of me

You can keep your fun, fun memories
Envision what I used to be
Teenage teardrops on my pillow
You reach for the stars but we end on the ceiling

Hang me from the ceiling
I got the feeling that it's my time to go




If today was my last day here
You're the last one that I'd wanna see

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Teenage Teardrops" by HEARTSREVOLUTION is the perfect embodiment of youthful recklessness and a disregard for societal norms. The song is about teenage angst and escapism, alluding to the feelings of displacement, frustration, and confusion that teenagers often feel. It suggests that danger and excitement go hand in hand, albeit not always in a good way. The lyrics stress the importance of living life on one's terms, even if it means going against the rules. The "save me from the ceiling" line conveys a sense of desperation to escape while also suggesting that the feeling of being trapped is self-inflicted.


The chorus of the song repeats the lines "hang me from the ceiling, I got the feeling that it's my time to go, if today was my last day here, you're the last one that I'd wanna see". It appears to be a message to someone seemingly important, but it could also represent the singer's need to escape the pressure of expectations placed on them. The song comes off as more of a cry for help from a troubled teen rather than a feel-good anthem. The angst and desperation are apparent in the lyrics, which may resonate with the younger audience.

So I'll take every last one of these pills
I will try anything to numb the pain or escape my reality


To kill what's inside of me
I want to destroy the parts of me that are causing me so much pain


You can keep your fun, fun memories
I don't care about happy memories or nostalgia


Envision what I used to be
I am struggling to accept and move past who I used to be


Teenage teardrops on my pillow
I am still haunted by my teenage pain and sadness


You reach for the stars but we end on the ceiling
No matter how much we strive for greatness, we often end up back where we started, feeling stuck and hopeless


Hang me from the ceiling
I feel so trapped and defeated, I want to give up


I got the feeling that it's my time to go
I feel like it's my time to die or leave this world


If today was my last day here
If I only had one more day to live


You're the last one that I'd wanna see
You are the one I care about the most, the one I want to be with in my final moments

Right years later, this song sticks with me. For reasons unknown, it pops into mind. Listening to Tokimonsta's "Midnight Menu" led to me discovering this awesome song. I'm not much a fan of Alphabet and associated companies, but I do acknowledge their algorithms have introduced me to some of my favorite artists.
