Cult of Youth
You'll keep your youth until you're dead,
But this obsession is what will put you in your grave.
I don't know what's in your head,
You can't bring back all the time that you wasted.
You wasted it trying to be something you're not
The cult of youth took your life from you.
You wasted it trying to be something you'll never be-
the cult of youth took your life from you
In the end you will be dead-
six feet under you'll be lying in your grave.
There will be nothing in your head-
you can't bring back all the life that you wasted.
You wasted trying to be something you're not
The cult of youth took your life from you.
You wasted it trying to be something you'll never be-
the cult of youth took your life from you.
We live in a culture that values youth, but youth is not something that can really be preserved without doing irreparable damage to how we function throughout our lives. We all move through time at the same pace and that is one of the core themes to being alive. For this reason, we have to learn to enjoy the moments we have, and let them go when they are over- otherwise we risk wasting our time trying to hold onto something that will never return to us, which is a dangerous road to walk, and one that will often lead people to be ungrateful and unhappy with what is going on around them in the present.
