Too Much Too Soon
Konoba R.O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought that I
Would be better at
By now
Like parking my car
In a parallel space
Like cooking a meal
That is not scrambled eggs
Or like asking for help
Like speaking my mind
Or standing up for myself
There are just so many things
I thought that I
Would be better at
By now
Do you rent or do you own?
Are you wearing a ring?
Aren't you getting too old
To keep dreaming those dreams?
Do you think you'll have kids?
Will you start your career?
Do you live for yourself
Or do you just live in fear?
The lyrics of Konoba R.O's song Too Much Too Soon reflect the common feeling of inadequacy and self-doubt that many people experience. The singer of the song reflects on the things he thought he would be better at by now, such as parking his car or cooking a meal. These mundane tasks represent the everyday challenges of life that we all face, but sometimes struggle to overcome. The lyrics indicate a sense that the singer is falling short of his own expectations, and perhaps those of society at large.
The next lines of the song shift focus to more existential questions about the singer's life. He asks if the person listening to the song rents or owns their home, if they are married, if they are too old to keep dreaming, if they plan to have kids, and if they live for themselves or in fear. These questions hint at the pressures of societal expectations and the fear of missing out on certain life experiences. The song captures the sense that there is a clock ticking, and that time is slipping away without the singer achieving what he thought he would at this point in his life.
Overall, the lyrics of Too Much Too Soon offer a poignant reflection on the anxieties and doubts that many people feel as they navigate their way through life. The song is a reminder that it is important to be kind to ourselves and to acknowledge that we all face challenges and setbacks on our own unique paths.
