Johan Bendz - Twenty-Five (Unfiltered) Lyrics

Twenty-five candles, flickering on the screen
Another year older, feels like a social media scene
Remember playlists, chasing dreams with earbuds in my ears
Now it's deadlines, student loans, and battling adult fears
Mom, it's deadlines, student loans, and battling adult fears

Mom asks, When's the settle-down plan
Perfect spouse, white picket fence, straight from Instagram
But these city streets, they thrum with my own beat
There's a fight within, a fire burning strong and sweet

Twenty-five, unfiltered, a messy masterpiece
Not ready for slippers, gotta chase the rising peace
Yeah, the clock keeps ticking, whispering in my ear
But these are my years, to conquer every fear

Friends are having baby showers, endless gender reveals
Smiling through the stories, but a part of me still feels
There's a world out there, adventures on the swipe
Mountains to climb, stories waiting to be ripe
The pressure's building, societal norms on repeat
But I'm learning to listen to the rhythm of my own feet

There's time for the house, the dog, the picture-perfect life
But for now, I'm honest, living life unconfined
Twenty-five, unfiltered, a messy masterpiece
Not ready for slippers, gotta chase the rising peace
Yeah, the clock keeps ticking, taunting me with doubt
But these are my years, to scream it all out

There's time for the house, the dog, the picture-perfect life
But for now, I'm honest, living life unconfined
Twenty-five, unfiltered, a messy masterpiece
Not ready for slippers, gotta chase the rising peace
Yeah, the clock keeps ticking, taunting me with doubt
But these are my years, to scream it all out

There's time for the house, the dog, the picture-perfect life
But for now, I'm honest, living life unconfined
Twenty-five, unfiltered, a messy masterpiece
