I'm Not Young In My Youth
Monika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It wasn′t easy so I couldn't ask for more
Promises and promises upon
I kept on suffering, in fact, I was in love
But I think it′s time to realize our empty past
I mustn't let myself return to you so fast
I'll keep moving on and on
I′ll keep moving on...
If I knew, oh, if I knew the way
I wouldn′t turn desiring into causing pain
Later we could find ourselves adored
And spread away the reasons that were simply gone
But it's alright now, I came to you again
You keep on hearting me in the usual old way
But I′m moving on and on
Yes, I'm moving on
You said I couldn′t do it
But remember all those flowers
Please remember all those flowers, flowers, flowers
Oh, give me something I could do
Oh, give me something I could give you back again
Give me just a little tiny something...
The song "I'm Not Young In My Youth" by Monika addresses the theme of a failed relationship and the struggles of moving on from it. The lyrics begin by expressing the singer's feelings of loneliness and the difficulties faced during the relationship. Despite this, the singer was unable to let go due to the promises made, and they continued to suffer from being in love. However, the singer now realizes that it's time to let go of the empty past and move forward with their life.
The chorus of the song talks about the desire to find a way to move on without causing pain. The singer believes that eventually they will find someone who adores them and the reasons for the failed relationship will be forgotten. Although the singer acknowledges that their ex-partner still has feelings for them, they are determined to keep moving forward.
The final verse addresses the criticisms faced by the singer for their decision to move on. The singer asks their ex-partner to remember the "flowers" - the good times they shared in the relationship. They ask for something they can do or give to show that they still care. However, the singer's ultimate message is that they must move ahead with their life without looking back.
