When you are seventeen you aren't really serious.

Summary

This quote suggests that at the age of seventeen, individuals are typically not known for being overly serious or mature. It implies that this period of youth is characterized by a sense of carefreedom and lightheartedness, as individuals are still in the early stages of navigating adulthood and finding their place in the world. At age seventeen, responsibilities and the weight of life's challenges may not have fully taken hold, allowing for a certain level of spontaneity and an absence of the seriousness often associated with later stages of life.

It's usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. It's such a cliche to say that artists write when they're down, but it's true for me. It's a relief to get out what's eating away at my heart or my soul or my head.

It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.
