Holiday
Yvette Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fragile mind- I need something to take me away
You and I, maybe we should run together
Apathy- I want something to make me hunger
The world is on fire so I think we should run together
We wouldn't have a care
We wouldn't have to change ourselves
We're running out of time
We're burning out and wasting our lives
I don't know how to feel
I don't know how to face my future
Growing up is tiring, living for now is all I can do

I don't understand these rules
I just wanna speak with my heart
I don't wanna tone it down
I just want to do what feels real





I just gotta tune it out

FrĂĄgil mente - Eu preciso de alguma coisa para me levar embora.
VocĂȘ e eu, talvez nĂłs devĂȘssemos correr juntos.
Apatia - Eu quero alguma coisa para me fazer desejar.
Este mundo estĂĄ em chamas, entĂŁo eu penso que nĂłs devĂȘssemos correr juntos.

NĂłs nĂŁo terĂ­amos cuidado
NĂłs nĂŁo terĂ­amos que nos mudar
Estamos ficando sem tempo
Estamos exaustos e desperdiçando nossas vidas
Eu nĂŁo sei como sentir
Eu nĂŁo sei como encarar meu futuro
Crescer Ă© cansativo, por enquanto viver Ă© tudo que posso fazer.

Eu nĂŁo entendo estas regras
Eu só quero falar com meu coração
Eu nĂŁo quero me acalmar
Eu sĂł quero fazer o que parece real

Eu sĂł tenho que ignorar...

Your music touches the soul <3 Br Fan
