Navigating the Passage of Time and Emotional Closure in 'Older' by Parcels

Parcels' song 'Older' delves into the complexities of growing older and the emotional baggage that comes with it. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of introspection and the struggle to find closure from past experiences. The repeated phrase 'What you own honey, you own well' suggests a recognition of personal responsibility and the weight of one's own actions and decisions. This line emphasizes the idea that we carry our past with us, and it shapes who we are, for better or worse.

The chorus, 'Older, we want closure, you're holding on tight when your life is on hold,' captures the universal desire for resolution and peace as we age. It speaks to the difficulty of moving forward when we are still clinging to unresolved issues from our past. The line 'I don't want to leave you alone, I'm talking my mind as I'm torn' reveals the internal conflict of wanting to support someone while also dealing with one's own emotional turmoil. This duality of caring for others while managing personal struggles is a poignant theme throughout the song.

The song also touches on the inevitability of change and the passage of time. 'Time will escape, you can be sure' serves as a reminder that time waits for no one, and the only constant is change. The lyrics encourage a reflection on how we adapt to these changes and the importance of finding closure to move forward. Parcels' blend of introspective lyrics and soothing melodies creates a contemplative atmosphere, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences with aging and emotional growth.
