What ya doin' with your keys inside my door?
Seventeen and you've never been here before
I try my best not to put you down
There's a hole in my head where the words fall out
Don't care what faithless people say
Should I care?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't change one thing, oh, oh
We take our chances every day
We watch those bleeding hearts decay
I'd walk through walls, would it make you stay?
I burnt my bridges and I burned my friends
If I had my time I'd do it again
Don't care what faithless people say
I don't care
Seventeen, oh, oh
Don't change one thing, oh, oh
Just burn to the end at seventeen girl, oh, oh
Seventeen, oh, oh
Don't change one thing, oh, oh
Just burn to the end at seventeen girl, oh, oh
I don't wanna talk, I wanna go home
There's a voice in my head, won't leave me alone
I want you to follow me home
'Cause I know this star that we transcend
Could be the only chance we get
Seventeen, I've never been here before
Seventeen, oh, oh
Don't change one thing, oh, oh
Just burn to the end at seventeen girl
Seventeen, oh, oh
Don't change one thing, oh, oh
Just burn to the end at seventeen girl
Burn to the end
The song "Seventeen" by Peryodiko touches on themes of youth, rebellion, and taking chances. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer has just returned home at a late hour and found a girl inside his door that he doesn't know. Despite her being just seventeen and never having been there before, he doesn't want to judge her and instead tries to connect with her. He then goes on to say that he has a hole in his head where words fall out, which could suggest that he struggles with communication or expressing his emotions.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the fact that the singer doesn't care what others say or think, and encourages the girl to embrace who she is and not change for anyone. The second verse continues this theme of taking chances and risking everything for love, as the singer admits to burning bridges and alienating friends in the past. He doesn't regret his choices and wouldn't change a thing, again emphasizing the importance of living in the moment and following your heart. The song ends with the singer wanting the girl to follow him home, as he envisions a future filled with bright possibilities.
Overall, "Seventeen" is a song that celebrates the thrill and excitement of being young and reckless, while also acknowledging the risks and sacrifices involved in pursuing love and passion. It encourages listeners to embrace their true selves, take chances, and live life to the fullest.
