From their Tumblr:

"Wildhoney are a pop band through and through. While some have thrown around words like "dreamy" and "hazy" to describe their brand of guitar pop, there's something deeper going on that can't be summed up in an easy blog tag. Songs such as "Soft Bats" and "Like Me" aren't just catchy songs, they're songs that stick with you long after they end. This is due to the simple, yet great interplay between vocals and guitars that weave throughout almost effortlessly. "Get Out Of My Dreams" from their upcoming single finds Wildhoney digging a bit deeper and crafting an almost droney pop song that not only is catchy but pulses with life."

Seventeen
Wildhoney Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The age old wisdom
Of apathy is easy
You know you suffer
And you know you'll suffer again

Feels like being seventeen
Over and over and over
Over and over and over

Feels like being seventeen
Over and over and over
Over and over and over

You almost made me
Forget everything I know
I climbed this mountain
Wanna fall back in the snow

Feels like being seventeen
Over and over and over
Over and over and over
Feels like being seventeen

Over and over and over
Over and over and over

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wildhoney's "Seventeen" explore the theme of eternal youth and the persistence of certain emotions and experiences throughout one's life. The first verse presents the idea that it's easy to become apathetic and resigned to suffering, as if the pain of life is a never-ending cycle. The repetition of the phrase "over and over and over" reinforces this sense of repetition and monotony.

The second verse introduces the idea of being almost made to forget everything, perhaps by someone or something that brings a sense of excitement or newness to life. The metaphor of climbing a mountain and wanting to fall back in the snow suggests the desire to return to a simpler, more carefree time. This ties back to the idea of feeling like one is perpetually seventeen, as that age is often associated with youth, freedom and innocence.

Overall, the lyrics suggest a longing for a sense of liberation or release from the monotony and pain of life, while acknowledging the futility of trying to avoid or escape those feelings.
