Where am I going?
And you feel you've lost everything
That you've got to give.
Sometimes you want to give it up
But you know that you won't
Love of what you do
It's calling from above sayin'
And ooh everything's gonna be alright
Ooh, you've gotta try for higher yeah yeah
Your parents think that you live ina fantasy world
Wher dreams are things
That never ever ever come true for you
But you don't care 'cause you know that
There ain't no doubt

The break you'll be makin'
That's what you're all about

And I don't care what they say
Only young once

The lyrics of Trixter's song Only Young Once speak to the feeling of uncertainty and insecurity one may feel as they look in a mirror and contemplate their future. However, the singer of the song finds inspiration and motivation from within, reminding themselves that they won't give up on their dreams and that they have a single-minded focus on achieving their goals. The song also speaks to the theme of the struggle one goes through while pursuing their dreams, as the singer says "one dream is all that it takes, the struggle's on till you get your break."
The song is a reminder that life is short, and the singer believes that this is their one chance to achieve greatness. They refuse to let anyone or anything stand in their way, saying "Say boy you better keep in step / Play by the rules. / I can be anything / There ain't nothin' I can't do." The overall message of the song is to chase your dreams, take risks, and not let anyone tell you that you can't achieve greatness.
