17 New Years Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Embrace this, the truest
In focus around us in celebrating light
And could you breathe in the mountain air?
A heavy state for your lungs to seek air
A certain look, and your full moon eyes stare
The smell of your hair, and I'm never letting you go of you now

[Chorus]
Heavy
It's a heavy weight
Put it all on me
Is that all I meant to you?
Call me
Could you call my name?
Will it sound the same?
Is that all I meant to you?

[Verse 2]
The mess of this is shattering
In pieces of such ugly things
For you to hide all you feel in your life
You went away, nowhere close to my side
And did you breathe in the mountain air?
Look twice so your love could seek air
[Chorus]
Heavy
It's a heavy weight
Put it all on me
Is that all I meant to you?
Call me
Could you call my name?
Will it sound the same?
Is that all I meant to you?

[Verse 3]
I don't want to leave your heart to know
You've got to leave room for us to grow
A positive sign, an even flow
Catch a space in time for letting go
And did you breathe in the mountain air?
A fallow state for your lungs to seek air

[Chorus]
Heavy
It's a heavy weight
Put it all on me
Is that all I meant to you?
Call me
Could you call my name?
Will it sound the same?
Is that all I meant to you?
Smoke rings in a fallow state
It all feels the same
'Cause thats all I meant to you

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

17 New Years creates a dichtomy from its very first line. The clash between breathing the open air of nature and close claustrophobia that comes about at the end of relationships. This is mirrored in the music, it is loud and expansive but its harmomies dark and brooding. This clash has no real resolve but leaves a strong emotional impact.
