about

Song written by Aletris Pinkroot
Website: aletrispinkroot.com

Theme Interpretation: I interpreted the theme 'vintage' in the way people describe vintage wine - something which becomes better with age. The song revolves around a narrator who has left an awful situation, and is realising that they have become a better person because of it and that things can only get better, and realising they now can truly live until they die and become flowers: symbolism for leaving something behind when they are gone.

lyrics

I'm not bragging but I'm not gonna lie
I'm ageing like the finest damn wine
that you've ever tasted
(you've ever tasted)

took off running in my fancy dress
straight up living at my best
and i'm gonna take it
(im gonna take it)

i'm not gonna lie to you,
You're gonna die before I do
and I'm not gonna be there
I'm not gonna be there

Oh,
This is the way it's supposed to
Go,
Haven't felt this way since long ago,
but I know
i'm gonna go
i'm gonna go

Waking up in my own bed,
sitting eating my own bread,
the best that I've tasted
(best that I've tasted)

Taking up so much damn space,
Giving up all my damn hate,
Living the biggest
(living the biggest)

I'm not gonna lie to you,
You're gonna die before I do
and I'm not gonna be there
I'm not gonna be there

Oh,
This is the way it's supposed to
Go,
Haven't felt this way since long ago,
but I know
i'm gonna go
i'm gonna go

things are looking up
and i can't find
a way to tell you but i
don't think i can help you anymore

i'm faking all
my faces
I'm not gonna hate you
But I'm not gonna help you anymore

Oh,
This is the way it's supposed to
Go,
Haven't felt this way since long ago,
but I know
i'm gonna go
i'm gonna go

Oh,
This is the way it's supposed to
Go,
Haven't felt this way since long ago,
but I know
i'm gonna go
i'm gonna go

I'm afraid
But god I can't wait
I'm gonna die there
I'm not gonna be scared

and i'll corrode
and decompose
and i'll make flowers
