21?!
Marya Roxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My youth was kinda' short-lived indeed
My eyes opened up too fast, may be?
It all passed by as a blink of an eye
It seems, and now it feels so far, far away
21 only 21 only 21 already 21
21 only 21 only 21 Too real for some
21 only 21 only 21 But I'm still eager to run
Still don't know what I'm doing,
Stuck in my youth forever
Want to live too fast, it's been my trouble
Or blessing for all I know
Every day is a taste of a fresh air
I'm gulping down, I want to live different,
To fulfill my dreams
21 only 21 only 21 already 21
21 only 21 only 21 Too real for sum
21 only 21 only 21 I'm not an easy one
21 only 21 only 21 But I'm still eager to run
21 only 21 only 21 already 21
21 only 21 only 21 Too real for sum
21 only 21 only 21 I'm not an easy one
21 only 21 only 21 But I'm still eager to run
In Marya Roxx's song "21?!", the lyrics speak to the experience of being young and feeling like time is passing too quickly. The memories may seem strange and the youth may have been short-lived, but the singer still feels like she has a lot to accomplish and is eager to run forward despite feeling stuck in her youth. The repetition of "21 only 21" emphasizes how young the singer still is, but also how much she feels like she has already lived and experienced.
The lyrics also speak to a desire to live differently and fulfill dreams, perhaps feeling restricted by societal norms or the expectations of others. The line "Want to live too fast, it's been my trouble / Or blessing for all I know" suggests that the singer is aware that her eagerness and restlessness could be seen as a negative or positive trait. Overall, the song captures the feeling of being both young and uncertain, but also ambitious and determined.
