Too Young
Space Bards(a.k.a. Recap) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make it easier on me
My face shows the pain that I can't hold in
But you loved me every moment I can't forget
The nights are getting long
Sometimes I cry, oh Lord
Every time I try to carry on
To be in heaven
Too young to be in heaven
Too young to be in heaven
No no no no no no
Since I was a baby you carried me
You were there everyday to take care of me
And I want to still hear you complaining
But now I never get the chance to pay you back for it
If I ever gave an attitude
If, for me, it seemed like I was grown
I was wrong, you're still too young
To be in heaven
Too young to be in heaven
Too young to be in heaven
No no no no no no
If I knew some way to bring you back
I would try all that I can do is just imagine
you with me
If you fishin' for some wishes you can take mine
Ain't asking much but one day with my day one
I admit I ain't been perfect since the funeral
We put the time into each other just to let it go
All this money in the world still my heart broke
See, you envision when you're gone but I can't see a ghost
Oh no, it's funny that I meant it when I said I'll never lose you
One day we gotta go, like the after school bell
They always tell me I must be strong
But how can I if you are gone
(you're still too young)
To be in heaven
Too young to be in heaven
Too young to be in heaven
No no no no no no
"Too Young" by Space Bards (a.k.a Recap) is a song that touches on a number of themes, particularly the struggles of young adults to find their way in a society that puts a lot of pressure and expectations on them. The song urges people to not grow up too fast, to not do too much too soon, and to try to enjoy their youth while they can. The lyrics also explore the issues of teen pregnancy and the burden it puts on young parents who often have to sacrifice their own dreams and aspirations to raise a child.
The song begins with the line "You done too much too young", which sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer addresses someone who got married and had a child at a young age instead of "having fun" and enjoying their youth. The singer then goes on to criticize the societal expectations of becoming rich and famous, suggesting that there are more important things in life. The lyrics then take a darker turn, mocking the idea of having children as a burden on the welfare state and suggesting sterilization as a solution to overpopulation.
The song is a commentary on the pressures and expectations placed on young adults, as well as the hypocrisy of society's values. It urges listeners to think for themselves and not give in to the pressure to conform or live up to society's expectations, while also acknowledging the difficulties and sacrifices that come with having children at a young age.

You're now stuck in a domestic role, making tea and pastries in the kitchen
Ain't you heard of the starving millions
Haven't you heard about how many people in the world are going hungry?
Ain't you heard of conraception
Haven't you heard of birth control?
Do you really wanna go with the sterilization
Are you considering opting for sterilization?
Take control of the population boom
We should take control of the rapidly growing population
It's in your living room
It's a problem that's happening right in your own home
Keep a generation gap
We should maintain a generational divide to prevent any further issues
Try wearing a cap
Use contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies
