Well I could bore you with the truth, About an uneventful youth, Or you could get that wrap from someone else,        And I could make an observation, If you want the voice of a generation, But I'm too self-absorbed to give it clout.        and I don't really care about, Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out, cause when you're young and bored and 24 and don't know who you are no more, There's no hope And it's hard to come of age,           I think it's a problem, Does it ever go away ?          I know, I am so self-obsessed I guess,   But there's no hope And I hope it's just a phase, I'll outgrow. I could look for inspiration, Find it in the charm of an English nation, But wouldn't that be cheap and ill informed. And I could bet you don't believe me, If I said it came from deep within me, But I promise you, I'm telling you the truth, and I don't really care about, Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out, cause when you're young and bored and 24 and don't know who you are no more, There's no hope And it's hard to come of age,           I think it's a problem, Does it ever go away ?          I know, I am so self-obsessed I guess,   But there's no hope And I hope it's just a phase, I'll outgrow. I wish I was comfortable in my own skin, But the whole thing feels like an exercise in, Trying to be someone I would rather not be, I try to second guess if you would be approving, I find my life ever so moving, Came wide eyed an unassuming, oh.        (okay) There is no hope, And there's desperately, (No hope) And there's definitely, (No hope) If you don't believe me. Ohhhhh (x2) and I don't really care about, Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out, cause when you're 24 and young and bored and don't know who you are no more, There's no hope And it's hard to come of age,           I think it's a problem, Does it ever go away ?          I know, I am so self-obsessed I guess,   But there's no hope And I hope it's just a phase, I'll outgrow. There is no hope.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la lutte intérieure d'un jeune adulte, perdu et en proie à l’angoisse. L'artiste parle de l'absence de repères à 24 ans, d'une quête identitaire sans fin, et du sentiment que la vie est une suite de désillusions. Il exprime un manque d'intérêt pour les autres tant qu'il n'a pas trouvé sa propre voie, tout en espérant que cette phase de confusion ne dure pas éternellement. Dans cette réflexion sur le passage à l'âge adulte, il semble que l'auto-centrisme et le doute prédominent, laissant place à un profond désespoir, d'où ce sentiment qu'il n'y a pas d'espoir. C'est une capture honnête des luttes que beaucoup d'entre nous peuvent ressentir à un moment donné.
