Being in your 20s is, as Karydas explains in this song, to be in a state of constant flux. Karydas finds herself pining for the simplistic emotional responses of her youth, when things made sense to her. She still succumbs to childish worries, like acne and the dentist. A grazed knee sends her spinning back to when she was seven, when pain had an obvious physical cause and a definite treatment. âWhen did I get so fearful?â she asks. As the world whirs around her, she focuses on the freckles on her loverâs face, a constant in a shifting sea. This is an infectious and spritely pop song, with shades of Spiritus by Lisa Mitchell, and a yearning simplicity of spirit. As the narrator of her own emotions, Karydas takes a long view even while surrounded by the mess of everyday life; she longs to hit pause on the world while knowing this isnât possible â or even preferable.
