Time To Pretend is one of those songs that you'd vibe to as a child, only to realise how accurate the lyrics are as an adult. Never ever allow this song to die out people x

[@walkerfreeman2697]

Seriously and it’s so sad having a mixed bag of a childhood. It really makes you wanna hold onto what you did have as a kid. And if this song is nostalgic for anyone then I would say forgetting then coming back to this song can teach you a lot of things especially the song “kids” it’s like a close friend telling you it’s ok to grow up don’t indulge in being a kid or you’ll loose who your meant to be.

[@Ilovebioshock1234567]

My sister had a boyfriend who died when he was only 17. He loved this song, and he really did struggle with heroin. I only knew him for a short time, but he was the biggest impact on my life. He lived fast and young. He was so wise and chill. Almost like nothing bothered him but I know that everything did. I was only 13. I saw him dead… my sister was trying to revive him and his body regurgitated… that almost last line “we’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.”… that shit gets me. I’m 26 now, I miss you and I wish I could have seen you now older than me, and even wiser…

We're both 37 with 1 beautiful baby girl and another baby on the way. This life is wonderful and while there are things I miss from my youth, I would never give up this timeline and risk missing her. There were so many pieces that had to fall in place for us to meet and end up in love. No way I'd risk that either. We're the lucky few, the ones who found our soulmates. I truly sympathize with those living a bad timeline and not getting to be with their other half.

[@Dallasboy214]

To me this song is about masking your pain with your lifestyle or success. On the surface, it looks you’re happy and living a life with no obstacles but deep down inside you know you are and aren’t happy. That’s why the instrumental sounds happy and upbeat but if you read the lyrics and listen to the singing you can sense the sadness. The way he sings it is in a sarcastic tone. Great song. “We’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.” Beautifully haunting.

“I’m feeling rough, I’m feeling raw, I’m in the prime of my life” is the lyric that’s always stood out to me since I was 14.

Edit for the replies: I don’t feel I’m in the prime of my life because of my age, but because of where I’m actually at in life. The memories I’m making with friends and family and what I’m doing. Not scared of getting older, just feeling bittersweet about time passing. Thanks for all the sweet comments though.

November 2017 is when my dad moved out and we don't see each other that much now, May 2020 is when my sister moved out December 2020 is when we had our dog put down because of the tumours and the amount of pain she was in August 2021 is when I'll be moving out of my mom's place, out of my room that I've had for the last 19 years.

To me this song is about how you're fated to pretend to enjoy your lifestyle regardless of the path you take in life. In the song, there's a fantasy of rejecting a traditional path in life that is "boring", and deciding to live like a rock-star: partying, doing drugs, dating models, etc. However, you'll still miss your family, your time alone, having meaningful relationships, etc. You're fated to pretend to enjoy it to be happy, even if you may wish something else.

[@H_G_82]

thanks.

[@99xjokerx]

That’s an awesome view. I always thought that you’re fated to pretend to be civilized. For a lack of better words. You pretend to be professional and go through life using technology while ignoring primal instincts to enjoy things like sex, drugs and nature. I can’t really put it into words but it reminds me that humans are animals. That our primal instincts and animosity are just apart of us and that participating in society is mostly pretending to be civilized. Again, for lack of better words

Letting go of childhood sucks! The system of working 40 hour weeks is destructive to the human spirit. We're supposed to continue exploring the world and having fun as adults - that's why it's so difficult to let go.

[@karenmcilvena4541]

@@HULKHOGAN1 I completely agree. I think if you don’t hold on to some aspects of being a kid it would be like dying. You need to remember what that feels like, and how to access it. I spose if you have kids maybe you do it through them? But nah, that would suck coz they grow up and leave and then you’re just old. Yeah nah ya gotta stay young and in touch with the things that make you feel really alive. x

growing up is weird for sure but definitely worth it. It's like a blooming flower under the sun compared to a seed in a dark bag. This song is a hymn of lost seeds. Have faith in yourself and push forward through anxiety, boredom, frustration, loneliness, depression and the rest. There's a good life hidden behind all of that, your good life. Ask for help, share your troubles. Family, friends, mentors, books, therapist, church - use everything you can to get through bullshit as fast as possible so you could spend the rest of your precious time in joy and love. It's worth it 100%. I'm sure, you'll figure it out if you choose to do so 😉 As the good song goes: "Take nothing less Than the supreme best. Do not obey to what people say, Cause you can pass the test. Just move on up..."
