As a teen who listened to these when i hung out w my friends this is a very accurate playlist

[haruru]

My last teenage summer. 20 sounds serious now. I don't wanna be an adult but you know life is all about changes and I hope I will be fine. Loved being a teenager but it's time to grow up and embrace the changes. Hope you guys having fun being a teenage!

OFFICIALLY MY FIRST SUMMER AS A TEENAGER (Turned 13 in January)
I'm really exited but it feels like time is flying, I'm already getting ready to go into second year ^^ I hope everyone who reads this (and probably won't think about it ever again) has memorable and fun teenage years surrounded by many friends or just a close few

As a teenager, growing up is kind of scary. I dont want to grow up and regret not living my teenage years to the fullest, but at the same time I dont want to fuck everything up just to enjoy life. I dont know if Im really making sense but it feels like Im racing against time. Dont get me wrong, my teenage years have been like a dream so far, but Im scared of waking up and forgetting about it. (I know Im not making sense lol) - A dramatic 16 year old.

My teenage years were nothing to remember. It was really just wake up, get through a school day, come home, sleep, repeat. I was a really shy, awkward kid who was just trying to fit in somewhere but never got the courage to do so. I just turned 23 and I'm trying to live it the best I can. And when I listen to this type of music, it helps me realize that it's never to late to make a fresh start and just move on.

[kently]

how do you even manage to discover/find these songs?? These are honestly really great finds the hell

[maënastevenson]

these were exactly the songs i listened 2 years ago and it feels so nostalgic to hear them again

[eli.m]

[Cannibal_Toast]

For all you people who wanna stay a teenager instead of being sad about it feel glad that you made it all this way, all the experiences you experienced and how lucky you are to had have. ❤

(0:00 - 2:46) New Flesh - Current Joys:

I listen to The Cure, I listen to The Cure, I listen to The Cure, and then I cry.
I watch VideoDrome, I watch VideoDrome, I watch VideoDrome, and lost my mind.
Tried to write a song, tried to write a song, tried to write a song I think you'd like.
No one gives a shit, no one gives a shit, no one gives a shit about my life.
'Til I die.
'Til I die!
It's DIY.
It's DIY!
I have nightmares, I have nightmares, I have nightmares all the time.
So I stay awake, so I stay awake, so I stay awake all night.
Say I'm gonna leave, say I'm gonna leave, say I'm gonna leave but I think you're right.
I'm gonna stay right here, I'm gonna stay right here, I'm gonna stay right here until I die.
'Til I die.
'Til I die!
It's DIY.
It's DIY!

(2:48 - 6:51) Forever Dumb - Surf Curse:

I would run away from you, if I could.
Never really wanted to, but I guess I should run.
I would fall in love with you, but I can't.
It's too hard, maybe we'll just pretend.
But it's hard when I don't know what to do,
I'm angry and I'm tired and confused,
I got so many thoughts stuck in my head,
And none of them, make much sense.
I said I would follow you, but I lied.
Don't be mad.
Well, at least I tried.
I never had a spot for you in my life.
Which was true,
'Til I heard you cry.
And your tears dripped down your face into my eyes.
I'm sorry, and I hate myself this time.
'Cause I got so many thoughts stuck in my head,
And none of them,
Make much sense.

(6:51 - 9:07) Jealous - Eyedress:

You could have anyone you want,
Why would you want to be with me?
I'm nothing special.
You could have anyone you want,
Why would you want to be with me?
You know, I'm nothing special.
Be with whoever you want,
I don't care, I don't care!
I don't wanna know!
Don't tell me 'bout your problems,
If you're not trying to solve them,
Don't ask me for my help.
Fix it yourself!
She tried to call me yesterday,
But I didn't pick up,
'Cause I don't got time.
I don't have time, I don't have time, I don't have time, I don't have time. (no)
Do whatever you want,
I don't care, I don't care.
Don't even tell me.
I don't really wanna know,
Don't ask me how's my day's been,
I just wanna be alone.
Stop talking about your past.
I don't wanna hear it,
Just leave me alone.
Just go!
Only care about myself,
'Cause everyone's trying to hurt me,
Just leave me alone, just leave me alone, just leave me alone,
I just wanna be alone.

(9:07 - 11:01) Hers - Speed Racer:

Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me, let me love you tonight!
'Cause I'm a real speed racer, so I gotta get to know you alright.
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme lovin' tonight!
'Cause she's a real cool sister, but I'm thinking she's a little uptight.
She's aware that I gave her the look,
I'm surprised at the time that it took,
But it's fine that I'm just comin' off after all,
She knows!
Baby, let me tell you what I think it's gonna happen tonight!
I'm gonna be a keen kisser never letting you get out of my sight.
Name another reason why I shouldn't be your lover tonight!
Well, you can tell the speed racer, but he's putting up a hell of a fight.
She's aware that I may take the move,
I feel bad for the guys in the room,
They think I get my hopes up too soon,
But I don't.
She's not!
Only need your love for one night, only need your love for one night, only need your love for one night, only need your love for one night!
Repeating for the rest of my life!
One night, repeating for the rest of my life!
One night, repeating for the rest of my life!
One night.
(Okay) Woo!!

(11:01 - 15:06) Plums - Parking Lots:

Bent out boy in the car down the pavement,
Turn here, that's your place.
Glitter girl in the back of the basement,
Opened window frame.
Heather, wanna see you soon,
If you do.
Heather, when I'm in your room,
"Love Me Do."
Empty lot has a guest close to midnight,
Spilling out its sides.
Something off going on in the streetlight,
Mother sleeps just fine.
Heather, wanna see you soon,
If you do.
Heather, when I'm in your room,
"Love Me Do."

(15:06 - 19:28) Kids - Current Joys:

Oh, I'm just a kid.
I never use my brain,
I only use my heart,
And my imagination.
Oh, I'm just a kid.
I always make mistakes,
I never say I'm sorry,
'Cause they're mistakes that I made.
Get ready!
Oh, I'm just a kid.
I've never seen the world,
And I haven't quite decided,
If I'm a boy or a girl.
Oh, I'm just a kid.
I'm afraid of the dark,
But I'm obsessed with ideas,
One day I'll go far.
Yeah, like that!
Oh, I'm no longer a kid.
And everything has changed,
There's nothing in my heart,
And lightning in my brain.
So listen up, you kids.
And hear what I say,
Don't listen to your brain,
And follow your dreams.
What's that?

(19:28 - 25:24) In My Head - Bedroom:

Day to day, it won't leave,
Every time I try to speak,
It consumes my mind, it consumes my soul,
It wants my life, it wants complete control,
Somebody help me before it's bad,
Somebody help me before I end up dead.
I feel alone all of the time,
It's still quiet, lurking inside,
I'm a walking contradiction,
Everything I say is an affliction to him,
Somebody help me before it's bad,
Somebody help me before I end up dead.

I have no clue if the timepstamps even worked. I've never done this before. Didn't take too long, I enjoyed it. :)

just got home from teen splash at the community pool, i have never felt more teenage than i do this summer

[hyju]

im 18 so i kinda feel like the older sister in the comment section HAHAHAH. i just wanted to say that your teenage years don't have to be crazy, breaking the rules, smoking and all that stuff. i started anime journaling in 2020 and its been my favourite hobby ever since. i have a small circle of friends (offline and online) and a few penpals. i am homeschooled so i have more time than the average student but i use this time to take care of myself; do yoga, listen to music and dance in my room. i've been to real parties only two times and in both cases i had to leave bc of my anxiety 😭😭oh, an important thing to mention is that i was bullied too. (just to give you a better view). but!!! i am content with my teenage years. it's not about the intensity - it's about feeling the inner peace. i am open to vents. love yall!!

[efcoi]

almost 17 time flys from when i first listened to these songs

[Hotwheelzedits]

I can’t see how these songs r underrated. They are sooo good omg 🥲

[nadiaoaoao]

sometimes i wish life had a break room, yk? i've been on a roller coaster these past few days in 2024. i've thought about not living anymore and it just didn't feel right but living felt exhausting. I just wish there was like some type of button where it could take u to this white room with a bed or chair and lay u down to chill. ig the closest thing to that is sleeping but not really? idk I think I js need to go outside more but can't even do that cuz of my strict parents :/. can't even take a walk man. don't even get me started about school bro. ppl r so mean for no reason like u don't even know my middle name? it makes no sense I make good grades, my looks r pretty average, I'm on no bad terms w no one, and i would say nice but to certain individuals guess not? I'm js so done w middle school and mean girls bro.
