When we were Younger and Better

When we were Younger we were Better.
More idealistic, less prone to compromise.
We drank from life.
We enjoyed pleasure.

Now we just know ourselves better.
We don't see through our weaknesses any more
The destruction of small ideas. (*)
Don't get any big ideas, it's not gonna happen. (**)

(*): The destruction of small ideas: a great album from 65 days of static, containing the song When we were younger and better.
(**): Lyrics from Nude, a dreamy Radiohead song about cheating.
