This evocative song explores themes of nostalgia and the transformative nature of adolescence. Through repetitive lyrics, it depicts the internal conflict faced when watching a former friend or loved one change with time. The repeated phrases emphasize a sense of loss and longing for a past connection that has been altered by societal pressures and personal growth. The imagery of "make-up" and "bleaching your teeth" suggests a shift towards societal conformity and superficial standards. Simultaneously, the repeated line "dream about me" conveys a yearning for relevance or remembrance in the other person's life. This track captures the bittersweet experience of witnessing someone evolve from a raw, genuine version of themselves to a more constructed identity, resonating with anyone who has navigated the complexities of growing up and growing apart. #Nostalgia #GrowingUp #Change #Adolescence
Anthems for a Seventeen Year‐Old Girl
Lyrics
Used to be one of the wretched ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the wretched ones and I liked you for that
Used to be one of the wretched 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
