Song Analysis Five for fighting 100 years

I'm 15... for a moment

Caught in between 10 and 20

And I'm just dreamin'

Countin' the ways to where you are

I'm 22... for a moment

And she feels better than ever

And we're on fire

Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you

Time to buy and time to lose

15... There's never a wish

Better than this

When you've only got a hundred years to live

I'm 33... for a moment

Still the man, But you see I'm a they

A kid on the way, babe

A family on my mind

I'm 45... for a moment

The sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis

Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you

Time to buy and time to lose yourself

Within a morning star

15... I'm all right with you

15... There's never a wish

Better than this

When you've only got a hundred years to live

Half time goes by

Suddenly you're wise

Another blink of an eye, 67 is gone

The sun is getting high

We're moving on

I'm 99... for a moment

Dying for just another moment

And I'm just dreamin'

Countin' the ways to where you are

15... There's still time for you

22... I feel her too

33... You're on your way

Every day's a new day

15... There's still time for you

Time to buy and time to choose

15... There's never a wish

Better than this

When you've only got a hundred years to live.

100 Years by Five For Fighting

Theme:

In this song, the writer is combining partly a love song, 'Countin' the ways to where you are', partly saying how fast your life goes, 'half-time goes by, suddenly your wise, in the blink of an eye, 67 is gone'. The whole song is going through the singers life, and picturing every part of it and basically telling you to value your life for it goes really fast. The line, 'I'm 45... for a moment, the sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis' is talking bout mid-life crisis's, and the line directly after, 'Chasing the years of my life' is talking about how people react to their mid-life crisis. The easy cliché shows them going out to buy a sports car, but
