Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of all of my emotions
I don't know what I am feeling inside
I've tried but I can't hide it
So I'm not gonna deny it
Life just gets harder each day and night
I wish it would get better
Will this pain last forever?
Feel like I'm second place
When there's no one else playing
Cause I tried to be everything to everyone else
Now I'm no one to myself
It isn't what I wanted
It isn't what I needed
But guess what I'm given is all that I got
And what's the point of trying
When I'm too sick and tired
I've got too much going on in my little life
And it ain't getting better
Will this pain last forever?
Cause now I
Am second place when there's no one else playing
Cause I tried to be everything to everyone else
Now I'm no one to myself
To myself
Oh, I miss the younger days
When I wasn't afraid
Of overthinking everything
Oh, younger days
Come back to me
Come back to me
Cause I tried to be everything to everyone else
Now I'm no one
Yes, I've tried to be everything to everyone else
Now I'm no one to myself
In "Younger" by Adam&Steve, the lyrics capture the struggle of feeling overwhelmed by emotions and the pressure to be everything to everyone else while neglecting one's own needs and desires. The opening lines, "I'm drowning in this ocean, Of all of my emotions," depict a sense of being overwhelmed and unable to cope with the intensity of emotions. The singer acknowledges their difficulty in understanding and expressing their feelings, stating, "I don't know what I am feeling inside, I've tried but I can't hide it."
The lyrics reflect a theme of internal conflict and self-neglect, with lines like "Life just gets harder each day and night" and "I'm no one to myself." The singer expresses a yearning for a sense of worth and validation, as they feel like "second place when there's no one else playing." The pressure to be everything to everyone else is exhausting, leading to a sense of disillusionment and questioning the purpose of trying. The poignant line, "What's the point of trying, When I'm too sick and tired," captures the exhaustion and resignation felt in the face of overwhelming circumstances.
The chorus introduces a longing for the innocence and simplicity of the past, where there was no fear or overthinking. The singer pines for the "younger days" when they weren't afraid, suggesting a desire to reconnect with that sense of freedom and authenticity.
Overall, "Younger" delves into the struggles of self-identity, the weight of societal expectations, and the longing for a simpler, less complicated time.

I'm drowning in this ocean
I feel overwhelmed by my emotions
Of all of my emotions
I have a lot of different feelings
I don't know what I am feeling inside
I'm unsure of my own emotions
I've tried but I can't hide it
I've attempted to conceal it, but failed
So I'm not gonna deny it
I won't pretend it's not there
Life just gets harder each day and night
Every day and night, life becomes more challenging
I wish it would get better
I hope for improvement
Will this pain last forever?
I wonder if this suffering will endure indefinitely
Because I feel like I'm second place
I believe I'm not a priority
When there's no one else playing
Even when there's no competition
Cause I tried to be everything to everyone else
Because I attempted to fulfill everyone's expectations
Now I'm no one to myself
Now I've lost my own sense of identity
It isn't what I wanted
This isn't my desire
It isn't what I needed
This isn't what I require
But guess what I'm given is all that I got
What I've been given is all I have
And what's the point of trying
What's the purpose of making an effort
When I'm too sick and tired
When I'm exhausted and unwell
I've got too much going on in my little life
I have numerous things happening in my small world
And it ain't getting better
And it isn't improving
Will this pain last forever?
Will this suffering never end?
Oh, I miss the younger days
I long for the days of my youth
When I wasn't afraid
When fear didn't hold me back
Of overthinking everything
Of excessively analyzing every situation
Oh, younger days
Oh, those youthful times
Come back to me
Return to my life
Cause I tried to be everything to everyone else
Because I attempted to meet everyone's expectations
Now I'm no one
Now I have lost my sense of self
Yes, I've tried to be everything to everyone else
Indeed, I've attempted to satisfy everyone's needs
Now I'm no one to myself
Now I have become insignificant to myself
