Teenager
Mona Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're young
When you're young

When you're young when you're young
Yeah you're just a teenager
Wait little chump
Yeah you wait a little later
Grow up you grow up
And keep all the anger
Come in a lover
You're leaving a hater

Love, love you can't find the love
Love, love you can't find the love

Just look, just look up
Yeah you're gettin' older
You came in scared
But you're leaving bold
Don't give up don't give up
It's not done or over
When they push away
Turn the cold shoulder

Love, love you can't find the love
Love, love you can't find the love

All I know is
It's gonna get a little closer
All I know is
It's gonna be today
All I know is
It's gonna get a little better
All I know is
We'll see better days

When you're young
And so full of something





Love, love you can't find the love
Love, love you can't find the love

Overall Meaning

The song "Teenager" by Mona appears to be a reflection on the difficulties of growing up and searching for love. The opening lines repeat "when you're young" to emphasize the theme of youth and the struggles that come with it. The first verse mentions the teenage years, implying that this may be a time when one feels lost and unsure of themselves. The line "wait little chump, yeah you wait a little later" seems to suggest that things will get better with age and experience, but this is not necessarily a guarantee. The next line "grow up, you grow up and keep all the anger" may be referencing the difficulty of growing up and dealing with the anger and frustration that can come with that process.


The chorus, which repeats the line "love, love you can't find the love," adds to the sentiment of feeling lost and alone in the world. This line suggests that even though love is something that is highly sought after, it remains elusive and hard to find. In the second verse, the lyrics reference getting older and becoming bolder in one's actions. The line "don't give up, it's not done or over" encourages listeners to keep pushing forward and not let setbacks bring them down. The final lines of the chorus repeat the same sentiment as before, emphasizing the message that love is difficult to find.


The final verse is the most hopeful, with lines such as "all I know is it's gonna get a little closer" and "we'll see better days." This is a ray of optimism in an otherwise introspective song that acknowledges the struggles of growing up and searching for love. Overall, "Teenager" is a poignant reflection on the challenges of youth and the importance of persevering even when things seem tough.

Being youthful and inexperienced


When you're young
Feeling immature and juvenile


Yeah you're just a teenager
Being at the adolescent stage of life


Wait little chump
Need to wait for things to unfold

Patience is required to grow up


Grow up you grow up
Maturing and developing as an individual

When they push away

Turn the cold shoulder
Responding by distancing yourself emotionally


All I know is
The following statements are my only beliefs


It's gonna get a little closer
Things will improve gradually


It's gonna be today
The positive changes may happen soon


It's gonna get a little better
Things will continue to improve


We'll see better days
The future holds more positive experiences


And so full of something
Being passionate and driven

Best song ever. Yes, I first heard about it in Forza. But it doesn't change anything, right?

flyinghaiku

Same

Logan Harter

I'm surprised this doesn't have at least a million views. The part where he says "Love, love you can't find the love" is enough to make this song have at least a million views honestly.

Rick Bhattacharya

The AJG

Agreed

Tom Clarke

This song is so underrated. I like it how everyone is from forza horizon 1. I must admit it is the best forza game out there. Personally fav racing game even in 2017 and it came out in 2012

That game is my childhood, I recently bought an Xbox 360 and a copy of the game to play it again

space cowboy

I admit, i come from forza, the forza 1 is so cool
