Jaded
LiveonRelease Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I need a band-aid
Don't know his name
But I met him in coquitlam
Dorian gray
Hanging out at micro play
He said he's tired
Too uninspired
To ever change the world
Puking over toilet bowls all of us look the same
Chained to methylynedioxymethamphetamine(???)
[CHORUS]
It's all been done, but we're too young to be jaded
The war's been won, and its not that complicated
We are on our own, and we're just kicking back in oblivion
Will you meet me halfway?
Give up, you're fucked
They teach you that in c.a.p.p. class
So you've met someone
But how long is it gonna last?
He said he's tired
And he wishes he was sixteen
Too uninspired
Now isn't that convenient?
Puking over toilet bowls all of us look the same
Chained to phenobarbital and polyurethane
[CHORUS]
It's all been done, but we're too young to be jaded
The war's been won, and its not that complicated
We are on our own, and we're just kicking back in oblivion
Will you meet me halfway?
Do you feel like you've done wrong
Though there's nothing to regret.
You're much older than you seem, I always forget
I think both of us are tired,
We've talked for much too long
We're both younger than we seem
The song "Jaded" by LiveonRelease is a fast-paced, punk rock anthem that tackles the issue of youthful disillusionment and apathy towards the world at large. The song tells the story of a group of teenagers who are all struggling with drug addiction and the feelings of hopelessness that come with it. They are all too bored and too tired to try to make a difference in the world and have resigned themselves to a life of apathy and detachment. The lyrics are a call to arms for young people who are also struggling with these same feelings, urging them to keep pushing forward and not give up hope.
Throughout the song, there are numerous references to drug use and addiction, such as "chained to methylynedioxymethamphetamine (???)" and "chained to phenobarbital and polyurethane". The chorus repeats the phrase "It's all been done, but we're too young to be jaded" as a reminder to the listeners that there is still hope and potential for change, no matter how bleak things may seem.
The song also touches on themes of identity and self-discovery, with lines like "Do you feel like you've done wrong/Though there's nothing to regret" and "We're both younger than we seem". These lyrics speak to the confusion and uncertainty that often comes with growing up and trying to figure out who you are and where you fit in.
Overall, "Jaded" is a powerful and relatable song that captures the feelings of disaffection and disillusionment many young people experience. It serves as a reminder that no matter how bleak things may seem, there is always hope for change and growth.
