No Age
rich people Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Met by the space left by the void still left unfilled
Self-will pressed like blue chalk on the walls of a twenty dollar bill
And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
(No age too soon, to a longer year)
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
(Slow days hold youth)
I felt the whisper of the night
Lip-locked on all the glass pipes that have altered my life
Like quiet screams and I was all mine
And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
(No age too soon, to a longer year)
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
(Slow days hold youth)
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here
Ty reminds me of what it all once was
I'll stand still so it can be safe here for us
And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here
And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year
(No age too soon, to a longer year)
I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe
(Slow days hold youth)
And I'll ask myself how did I end up here
I felt the whisper of a thrill
Met by the space left by the void still left unfilled
And my self-will pressed like blue chalk on the walls of a twenty dollar bill
The song "No Age" by Rich People is a melancholic reflection on the life of a wealthy individual. The lyrics describe the emptiness felt despite having all the luxuries that money can buy. The opening lines "I felt the whisper of a thrill, met by the space left by the void still left unfilled" suggest a sense of restlessness, as if the individual is constantly searching for something more, yet never finding it. This is further emphasized by the line "self-will pressed like blue chalk on the walls of a twenty dollar bill," which implies that the individual's desires are limited by their wealth.
The chorus repeats the phrase "And there was no age where the slow days turn into a longer year," suggesting that the monotony of life feels endless regardless of age. The line "I could hold wage keep the luxuries safe" implies that the individual is not satisfied with material possessions alone and that they feel the need to hold onto their wealth to maintain their lifestyle. The line "And I'll ask myself how did I end up here" further emphasizes the sense of disillusionment the individual feels.
The song ends with the lines "Ty reminds me of what it all once was, I'll stand still so it can be safe here for us." These lyrics suggest that the individual may be longing for a simpler time before accumulating wealth and feeling a sense of guilt or unease about their current lifestyle.
Overall, "No Age" by Rich People is a poignant reflection on the emptiness and restlessness that can come with accumulating wealth and privilege.
