Too Young
No Room For Giants Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a maze that we walk through
Seems they're ... this place
I've never seen that look from you
Never had to fight for this
What makes a man who he is
Nothing more than ...
Walking through the fine abyss
And just to show that you believe

And I walked these floors a million times
Waiting for this moment to arrive
And I can't breathe through these smoke and fire
We're just too young to die
And now you're lying next to me
We fall into the ground
Living in the state of melancholy
Singin' all the sacred sounds
And I walked these floors a million times
Waiting for this moment to arrive
And I can't breathe through these smoke and fire
We're just too young to die
And I walked these floors a million times
Waiting for this moment to arrive
And I can't breathe through these smoke and fire

We're just too young to die
We're just too young to di

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Too Young by No Room For Giants describe the feeling of being lost in life, and trying to find one's way through the maze of existence. The lines "This is a maze that we walk through, Seems they're changing up this place" suggest that life is unpredictable and constantly changing, making it difficult to navigate. The singer then refers to a look they've never seen from their partner before, likely indicating some sort of struggle or challenge they are facing. The line "What makes a man who he is, Nothing more than scars and brokenness" implies that a person's experiences and struggles shape who they are.

Later in the song, the lyrics focus on the fear of death, with the line "We're just too young to die" repeating twice in the chorus. The imagery of smoke and fire adds to the sense of danger and urgency. There is also a sense of sadness and longing, with the lines "Waiting for this moment to arrive, And I can't breathe through these smoke and fire." The chorus repeats, but the final line changes from "We're just too young to die" to "We're just too young to" which leaves the listener to ponder what the singer means by "to" - too young to give up, too young to accept the status quo, too young to be anything but themselves.

Overall, the lyrics to Too Young seem to be about the struggles and anxieties of trying to find one's way through life while facing the inevitability of death. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this theme, and the use of images such as smoke and fire add to the emotional weight of the song.
