Teenager Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Around my finger so i wont
Never forget you never forget you never forget you just stay limber
Baby wont stop its me who loves you can't live alone alone lone alone
Time will go if you don't slow down its gone its gone
Wrap your fingers so tight round my neck at last a finger such as yours
And in a shudder its gone to disappearance ......no!
Its gone its gone its gone and its gone away away away
And its gone its gone its gone and its gone away away away
You are waiting down there for me
I am here alone again
Just just to cradle me
Fell between your own knees
Just just to cradle me
Fell between your own knees
The song Alone Again by Teenager is a melancholic and introspective piece that deals with themes of love, loss, and memory. The opening lines, "Tie a ribbon around your neck, around my finger so I won't, never forget you" suggests a desire to hold onto a significant other and not let them slip away from memory. The repetition of "never forget you" emphasizes the importance of the person being addressed and how much they mean to the singer. The line "just stay limber" is an interesting one as it suggests a desire for the person to be flexible and adaptable, perhaps even to the point where they can easily move on from the relationship if it were to end.
The chorus of the song further emphasizes the fear of losing the significant other, with the line "baby won't stop it's me who loves you, can't live alone alone lone alone". The repetition of "alone" emphasizes the fear of being left behind and the loneliness that comes with it. The second line "time will go if you don't slow down it's gone it's gone" reflects the passage of time and how quickly things can change in a relationship.
The verse "Wrap your fingers so tight around my neck, at last a finger such as yours like death in joy it passes me on the street it says hello and in a shudder it's gone to disappearance..." is a confusing and somewhat ominous one. The imagery of someone wrapping their fingers around another's neck is associated with strangulation and violence, but the line "like death in joy it passes me on the street it says hello" could suggest that the person in question is a memory that brings joy but also sadness. The final line of the verse "and in a shudder it's gone to disappearance" could suggest that the memory is fleeting and will disappear just as quickly as it came.
Overall, the song Alone Again by Teenager is a poignant interpretation of the complexities of love and relationships. The repetition of certain phrases throughout the song is used to emphasize the fear of loss and the importance of holding onto memories.
