My Adolescence Song
“Slow it down, make it stop, Or else my heart is going to pop. ‘Cause it’s too much, yeah it’s a lot, To be something I’m not!” The song “The Show” sung by Lenka captures my adolescence well because like the song my adolescence is very laidback and genuine. If things are running too fast I feel very rushed with too much emotions at once and would very much like to slow it down a bit. I am generally a calm person and like to take things in one at a time. Sometimes during my adolescence I feel like days are going by so fast that I barely have time to drink it all in. Then I would want to make it stop and take a break for a while. The second verse of this quote shows that I find it way too much to alter who I am. During my adolescence, I have ignored the pressure to change who I am and just gone with the flow. Wherever I will end up, I will keep on being me the whole way there! I find it just to heavy of a load to modify who you are when its just easier to be all-natural. Being an adolescent, I feel that time should go by slower and that I need to be myself throughout my life, just like “The Show” by Lenka.
The Show - Lenka
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why
Slow it down
Make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot
To be something I'm not
I'm a fool
Out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
The sun is hot
In the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the sign
And synchronize in time
It's a joke
Nobody knows
They've got a ticket to that show
Yeah
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
Just enjoy the show
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
dum de dum
dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show
dum de dum
dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show.
