Hey, once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to play
Hey, When face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Make memories we knew would never fade
One day my father he told me
Son, don’t let this slip away
He took me in his arms, I heard him say
When you get older
Your wild life will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you’re afraid

He said, one day you’ll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me

When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can’t put out
Carve your name into those shinning stars
He said go adventure far beyond these shores
Don’t forsake this life of yours
I’ll guide you home no matter where you are
One day my father he told me
Son, don’t let this slip away
When I was just a kid, I heard him say
When you get older
Your wild life will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you’re afraid

He said, one day you’ll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember
My father told me when I was just a child
These are the nights that never die
My father told me

Què en penseu? Trobeu algun altre tòpic literari? Coneixíeu aquesta cançó? On podem trobar la referència al Tempus fugit? I al Carpe Diem? Quins d’aquests tòpics és d’Horaci? Podria ser que el nom artístic Avicii estigui relacionat amb el mot en genitiu llatí Avicius?
