Too Old To Die Young
Margo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody knows it yeah Side to side,
Baby Back and forth God above and the devil below him You've got your
Reasons And I've got my wants Still get that feeling,
But I'm too old to die young now Too old to die young now Above or
Below the ground Yes,
Too old to die young now Still the good lord might
Lay me down Round and round Round we go What it stops?
Baby Down and crawl God above and the devil below him You've got your
Reasons And I've got my wants Still got that feeling,
But I'm too old to die young now Too old to die young now Above or
Below the ground Yes,
Too old to die young now Still the good lord might lay me down To lay
Me down To die young now Too old to die young now Above
Or below the ground Still the good lord might lay me down
The lyrics of "Too Old to Die Young" by Margo Price are relatively simple, yet poignant. The song speaks to the idea that as we age, we often feel that we've lost the carefree days of our youth. The repetition of the phrase "round and round, round we go, where it stops? nobody knows" creates a sense of uncertainty, which is reflective of the uncertainty one can feel about growing older. The lines "god above and the devil below him, you've got your reasons and I've got my wants" suggest that, despite growing older, we still have our own motivations and desires, and that these can often be at odds with one another.
One of the most striking lines in the song is "still get that feeling, but I'm too old to die young now". This line speaks to the idea that, even though we may feel young at heart, our bodies and circumstances often limit us from pursuing certain things that we once might have. The final line of the song, "still the good lord might lay me down", adds a layer of acceptance and resignation to the lyrics, suggesting that even though we may be too old to die young, ultimately our fate lies in the hands of a higher power.
Overall, "Too Old to Die Young" is a reflective and introspective song that speaks to the complexities of growing older. It acknowledges the loss of youth, but also recognizes that there is still value and purpose in our later years.
