The Young, 2010
Acrylic paint
This painting is fully based on the lyrics of the song The Young by Collarbone. This is simply how I see the imagery in my head. Let the lyrics speak for themselves.
Walking on a tight rope / back to back with blindfolds on
You’re scared but don’t look down
You’re scared but don’t look down
The glass between us and them shatters when the framing bend
Send an s.o.s cause this is turning to a mess
Waiting for a sign to se this place askew/ set askew
Standing with my fingers crossed
Locked inside these city walls
Shivers down my spine/You’re sending shivers down my spine
They say we are too young and too restless to survive
We don’t wanna hear your warnings
We’re don’t care we’re alright
All you had to offer was just not good enough for us
Caught between the two words
Caught between the two words
Motion and control
Motion and control
Walking on a tight rope back to back with blindfolds
You’re scared but don’t look down
You’re scared but don’t look down
They say we are too young and too restless to survive
We don’t wanna hear your warnings
We’re don’t care we’re alright
All you had to offer was just not good enough for us
They say we are too young
Was just not good enough for us
