Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl Lyrics

Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that

Now you're all gone, got your make-up on and you're not coming back
Can't you come back?

Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that

Now you're all gone, got your make-up on and you're not coming back

Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under your breath
Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash, talking trash, under my window

Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me
Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me

Park that car, drop that phone
Park that car, drop that phone (dream about me)
Park that car, drop that phone
Park that car, drop that phone (dream about me)
Park that car, drop that phone

Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that
Now you're all gone, got your make-up on and you're not coming back

What is the Meaning of Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl?

This evocative track by Broken Social Scene explores the bittersweet transformation from adolescence to adulthood. The lyrics reflect a sense of nostalgia and loss as they recount a past friendship with someone who has changed significantly over time. The repeated lines "Used to be one of the rotten ones and I liked you for that" convey a longing for the authenticity and rebelliousness of youth, while "Now you're all gone, got your make-up on and you're not coming back" highlights the inevitable shift towards conformity and societal expectations. The refrain "Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me" suggests a yearning for simpler times and deeper connections. This song poignantly captures the universal experience of growing up and the changes it brings in relationships. #Nostalgia #ComingOfAge
