Seventeen

I see the trash in Ekoparken 1

And Walpurgis’ night’s 2 drunken parties

New Year’s chaos on the castle’s heights

Decay on New Year’s Day

I see happiness and a simple time

On a deserted artificial turf

And everything I’ve ever felt

Every tip and every low

I’ve been dragged through life

I have plenty open wounds

I have both been broken

And walked on a few clouds

I have caught my dreams

And seen them slowly break in two

I have played and lost

But also survived until now

I have also been seventeen

Felt small, felt weak

I have longed after life

And said one day I’ll get out

But now when everything is past

And I dream about back then

I stand naked before my truth

I can imagine staying here

I see older brothers’ empty rooms

When they left for something new

Bricks torn down

And the façade that they’ve adorned

I see summers full of nothing

And the students that have fled

Everything I’ve ever felt

And I know what it all meant

But I have walked these streets

For what feels like a hundred years

I have both been destroyed

And walked on a few clouds

I have slowly fallen apart

But always stood up again

I have gambled and lost

And yet always found the way back home

I have also been seventeen

Felt small, felt weak

I have longed after life

And said one day I’ll get out

But now when everything is past

And I dream about back then

I stand naked before my truth

I can imagine staying here

When nothing else was there

Rackarberget 3 had to do

Not far away from ninety-five

Is my beloved sixty-four

When nothing else was there

I had to stay a little longer

And suddenly I found life

In what back then was nothing

I have also been seventeen

Felt small, felt weak

I have longed after life

And said that one day I’ll get out

But now when everything is past

And I dream about back then

I stand naked before my truth

I can imagine staying here

I have also been seventeen

Felt small, felt weak

I have longed after life

And said that one day I’ll get out

But now when everything is past

And I dream about back then

I stand naked before my truth

I can imagine staying here

Commenti dell’autore:

The song is a reference/answer to Veronica Maggio’s “17 år”, which talks about being seventeen in the same city (Uppsala), but wanting to get out. This is Mares’ love letter to the city and a different viewpoint, that of a longing to stay.
