17
MY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey
I wrote you something real simple
Because you already made this
So darn difficult for me
I've been chasing you
Since before February
I hope you didn't notice me
Shaking profusely
Sitting three seats to the right of you
I can usually keep my cool
Even if it kills me
Call it whatever you want
It's complicated
Still emotions never faded
Serious
That's just semantics
Try not be dramatic
I'll take my chances
Running into you
Somewhere down by the largest lake
Coincidence or fate
Even if it kills me
As I hear the rain outside your window
I'm just wondering if I know
What I'm really in for
The summer of seventeen
Just seemed like a good dream
I feel a little crazy
Make believing with you
But I think in real life
You'll make me just as crazy
As you do




As you do
As you do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to My's song "17" depict the frustration and confusion of a person who is stuck in a cycle of waiting and searching for someone who is elusive and mysterious. The repeated line "10:17 and the lights go out, every night" creates a sense of repetition and routine, highlighting the daily struggle of the singer who is lost in a "minefield Escher maze." The use of imagery such as "spinning iris spokes" and "snow-covered tracks" further emphasizes the disorienting and confusing nature of the situation.


The singer is fixated on this person and constantly waits for them to reveal themselves or return a metaphorical "lock," which could represent trust or emotional vulnerability. The repetition of the line "Every night I don't want to hide behind irony" reveals the singer's desire for genuine connection and communication, rather than hiding behind jokes or sarcasm.


The final lines, "You talk in mysteries all the time, every night," suggest that the person the singer is waiting for is intentionally elusive and possibly manipulative. The repeated line "Every night" throughout the song emphasizes the cyclical nature of the situation and the frustration of being stuck in a pattern of waiting and searching.
