Juke - Grown-Ups [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]

I know that one day
We will go away to somewhere
Where no one will stare and say
"Hey, what you doing here, boy?"

[Verse 1]
Whoa
I know that one day
We will go away
And we'll never have to look back
And so goes my story
A story of the never-ending quest for glory
Surely, I'm gonna make it out alive
With you by my side
Nothing in my heart but pride, but now
Don't get twisted, I'll always be a kid inside
But don't expect me stride out all tough and upside down
Yeah I'm gonna stunt a crown, all uptown, in my royal gown
But slow down, let ourselves get rewound
It's a little too soon to be thinking that far down
I don't want to be a grown-up just yet
I mean, how much better could being a kid get?

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Keeping with the theme
I wanna stay forever fifteen
Indeed, I need, to feel young
They always tend to think, "the youth is screwed!"
Fuck you, you're just a motherfucking scrooge
Dude, you're fucking up my mood
I'm trying to write about the wonderful essence of adolescence
But now you're testing my patience, face it
I'm not ready for life, so hold on
Let me figure out my route, to get out my mom's house
So filled with doubt
Hoping to God that my life sets itself out
Ha, yeah, but no, no one deals with your problems but you
I've always relied on other people to do, that for me
But now facing the shit I've done is fucking scary

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
The fact of the matter is
Life is scary
I shouldn't have to worry about who I'm going to marry
If she's right, if she's wrong
If this dude looks good in a thong
"Yes he does", but dude, there's just so much buzz around
Who to be, what people want to see in me
So much that it drives me crazy
I can't live in this world
Where people just rely on me
To be some monstrous conformity
Is that so wrong?
Am I a rebel if don't wanna look like you or you or you
So with that in mind I wanna know what you wanna do
With your life, do you wanna just go crazy for tonight
Man I just want to go crazy on the mic
This is my time, our time, I just wanna seize it
I want to lose my self in the moment, I wanna own it
Being a kid sucks, don't it?

[Hook]

[Verse 4]
Okay, so I promise, this is the last verse
I know listening to me babble on about my life hurts
But bear with me
See I just want to make it clear that I'm not depressed…
I don't know, I guess I'm just stressed
I mean it always feels like me versus the universe
Wait, it gets worse
I feel like my body is a hearse
With life, I just go through the motions
There's no emotion
But I feel like people are getting some crazy notion
That I'm gonna go jump off a building
"I'm not", so chill the fuck out
Now I couldn't decide where I wanted to hide
So I thought, Hey, I'll bring all to you bullshit free
So listeners can know the real me
And so I hope this song
This verse, this album
Has a positive outcome
And people understand
Just a little bit more about who I am
And why I'm all silent like a lamb
WHAT

[Hook]
