Cavetown – 1994 Lyrics

1994 Lyrics By Cavetown

“1994” is a track off of their album worm food, released on November 4, 2022.

This song shows the artist attempting to make peace with their younger self through a journey of self-worth, resentment, and self-love. In an interview with Warner Records about the album, Cavetown notes “That song is about trying to allow yourself the same compassion and forgiveness you’d have for a little kid if they’d made some kind of mistake, instead of beating yourself up over it.”

1994 was first performed on June 29, 2022 at The Forum when opening for Bleachers.

[Verse 1]
I’m trying to forgive myself for things I didn’t do
For words I didn’t say and things I didn’t choose
Spending everyday decomposing in my room
I’m not okay, but there’s nothing I can do

[Verse 2]
I’m tryna love the person I was when I was born
Hating on a kid doesn’t serve me anymore
Sylvanians making stories on the floor
And my mom and dad in love like it’s 1994

[Chorus]
Say you’re comin’ around
I need you lately, everything’s been getting me down
Yeah, the kids are grown up, I feel like I’m stuck
But I don’t wanna catch up right now

[Verse 3]
I’m tryna get a better sense of what I’m worth
‘Cause I’ve been on the fence and in thе dirt
Taking it easy
But I forgot I had a job and nothing ever stops so

[Chorus]
Say you’rе comin’ around
I need you lately, everything’s been getting me down
Yeah, the kids are grown up, I feel like I’m stuck
But I don’t wanna catch up right now

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Say you’re comin’ around
I need you lately, everything’s been getting me down
I broke a glass on the floor, it was the last straw
It’s like I woke up on the wrong side of town
Say you’re comin’ around
I need you lately, everything’s been getting me down
I felt so much older than the kids ’round the corner
But I feel so much younger now
[Outro]
Overtook the month, slow back down
Blamed a child in a daisy crown
