The lyrics of Key's song "Eighteen" capture the emotional journey of a person who is questioning the timing of when things will become stagnant and uneventful. The opening lines reflect a sense of restlessness and uncertainty, wondering if everything will eventually lose its excitement and purpose. The mention of the passing wind hints at the fleeting nature of life and the fear of experiencing another breakdown.
The chorus reveals an internal struggle of always wanting to win in life, but at the same time, never being able to imagine a world where the person and their loved one are not together. This highlights the deep connection and dependency the person feels towards their partner, despite the ups and downs they may face. The lyrics also convey a resilience and determination to not let everything fall apart, urging the listener to keep dreaming and soaring, even amidst challenges.
The second verse portrays a sense of being trapped in a repetitive and monotonous routine, where the person feels imprisoned by the constraints of time. Despite striving to avoid pain and shutting themselves off from others, there are certain things that they can't help but miss. This reflects the conflicting desire for self-protection and the fear of missing out on valuable experiences.
The bridge introduces a bittersweet sentiment, expressing a desire to witness the end of the world alongside their loved one. There is an acknowledgment of the inevitable end, but a willingness to embrace it as long as they are together. The song ends on a hopeful note, encouraging the listener to hold on tightly and not be consumed by anxiety, while emphasizing the importance of dreaming and flying high.
