Song Review, "We are Young"

    Recently the song, "We are young", has been blowing up these past months. Why though? Some people like it just for the song lyrics. There is much beyond that than that. The song has a lot of meaning in it, that a lot of people may even get to relate to, and that is what makes a good song.

The meaning of the song is quite straight forward, its about a guy who has made mistakes and wants to amend and apologize but it was too late. The guy had had made some mistakes and is trying to get rid of them, but it is not that easy. He has friends that smoke and drink, and he is stuck between the middle of that, and he wants to get out.


One lyric that repeats a lot in this song is, "Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
than the sun", and what i think this means is that you can do it if you set your mind to it, because he is trying to get away from his friends, and he can accomplish it if he burns brighter, or if stands up for it, and fights back.

Then at the end of the song the lyrics are, "So if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight", and what i think this means is that it ended, he got over his fear, and he doesn't have to go through that again.



 "Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom
getting higher than the empire state
my lover she's waiting for me
just across the bar
My seats been taken by some sunglasses
asking 'bout a scar
and I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
but between the drinks and subtle things
the holes in my apologies
you know I'm trying hard to take it back
so if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
than the sun

Tonight
we are young
so let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun

Now I know that I'm not
all that you got
I guess that I
I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart
But are friends in back
So let's raise a cup
Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let's the set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun

Tonight
We are young
so let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun

Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight

The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
but I can hear the choir
so will someone come and carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun

Tonight
We are young
so let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight"
