Sense in adolescence is a song that challenges the ideals and ideologies that we are brought up under in western culture. It focuses on issues such as materialism and being career driven.
lyrics
Safety what are you to me?
A necktie of ignorance mistaken for diligence
Security all set on secluding me
The bridges I'm building are walls separating
How can I possibly believe (what they tell me)
I'm supposed to be (when after)
Just few adolescent years
the lack of joy it brings has become clear
Danger what have I to fear?
To release suffocation, a first chance for freedom
Adventure what can you offer me?
Surely mindless dictation is prime inspiration
When you long for your heritage to be true
But the words of your fathers' are heresy to you
The hour has come to start this life anew
An eternal path you're being called to
