Youth Portal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For sure for sure I will grow older
Ocean ocean deep blue water
Reason reason they never matter
I’m at this point where everything is instant
How I wish it could be more constant
Sonic youth is just an addiction
I need a loophole so I won’t get old
To keep the fun from getting cold
Repeat the good memories told
And all our youth from getting sold
I need a loophole so I won’t get old
To keep the fun from getting cold
Repeat the good memories told
And all our youth from getting sold
The lyrics to Youth Portal's song "Loop" reflect the artist's thoughts and emotions about the pressures and uncertainties of growing older while longing to preserve the carefree essence of youth. The repetition of the phrase "unsure unsure I'm under pressure" signifies the artist's inner turmoil and lack of clarity in navigating the challenges of life. Despite this, they are confident that they will inevitably age, denoted by the repetition of "for sure for sure I will grow older."
The mention of the "ocean ocean deep blue water" symbolizes the vast unknown and depth of experiences that life has to offer. It suggests that the artist is aware of the potential for adventure and growth, yet recognizes that reasons or justifications for their actions may not always be important or relevant ("reason reason they never matter").
The artist expresses a craving for stability and permanence in a world where everything seems instantaneous. They yearn for a sense of constancy and continuity, desiring something more substantial than the fleeting nature of the present moment. The reference to "Sonic youth" as an addiction suggests that the artist finds solace or escape in the music and culture associated with youth, finding it preferable to the uncertain narratives of fiction.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the artist's desire for a "loophole" to avoid the effects of aging. They seek a way to maintain the vibrancy and excitement of their youth, to keep the joy from fading. They want to relive and hold onto the good memories, protecting them from being forgotten or overshadowed by the passage of time. The final line suggests a fear of losing or compromising their youth to societal or commercial forces, yearning to preserve its authenticity and innocence.
Overall, "Loop" delves into the artist's ambivalence towards the process of growing older and their longing to retain the essence of youth, while recognizing the transient and complex nature of life's experiences. The song invites listeners to reflect on their own struggles and desires to maintain a sense of vitality and joy throughout their journey.
