Intro The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living The weight of living verse 1 All that you desired when you were a child Was to be old was to be old Now that you are here suddenly you fear You’ve lost control You’ve lost control Pre-Chorus Do you like the person you’ve become Oh Under the weight of living You’re under the weight of living Under the weight of living You are under the weight The weight of living the weight of living   verse 2 It all crept up on you in the night it got you And plagued your mind it plagues your mind Every day that passes faster than the last did And you’ll be old soon you’ll be old Pre-Chorus Do you like the person you’ve become Oh      Under the weight of living You’re under the weight of living Under the weight of living You are under the weight The weight of living the weight of living   Bridge Tell yourself this is how it’s going to be Tell yourself this is how it’s going to be Oh tell yourself this is how it’s going to be Oh tell yourself this is how it’s going to be oh Under the weight of living You’re under the weight of living Under the weight of living You are under the weight The weight of living the weight of living The weight of living the weight of living

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les pressions et les peurs qui accompagnent l'âge adulte. Elle souligne le contraste entre les rêves d'enfance, où on aspire à grandir, et la réalité, où l'on se rend compte des responsabilités et des angoisses qui pèsent sur nous. On se demande si la personne que l'on est devenu correspond à nos attentes initiales, tout en ressentant ce fardeau constant du quotidien. Elle traite également du passage du temps, de la manière dont les jours filent et nous rappellent notre mortalité. Ce constat peut être dérangeant, et il invite à une réflexion sur notre identité et notre place dans le monde. La répétition de l'idée de "poids" renforce ce sentiment d'oppression lié aux choix et aux conséquences de la vie adulte.
