About This Track

'Older' by Parcels is a 2017 alternative track from the EP 'Hideout - EP'. Its lyrics address possession, self-knowledge and the desire for closure, with repeated assurances that the other person is seen clearly. One line lands the emotional anchor as the song insists, “Older, we want closure”. The overall tone is conversational, but increasingly pointed, pressing the idea that what’s held up as value or proof is in fact a kind of performance.

"Older" is a single by Parcels, from the album Hideout - EP, released 27th January 2017. The track is 3:27 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Parcels.

Lyrics

Older

Showing you never will cover
What you own, honey, you own well
Holding it out will be tougher
As I know, honey, I know well
The thought is fulfilling a label
A token, honey, token known
It's fake, though I know that you're able
To see it, honey, I see you well

Older, we want closure
You're holding on top when your life is on hold
Neither, I don't, I don't want to leave you alone
I'm talking my mind as I'm torn, on and on

Calling the exchanged word
What you own, honey, you own well
The past is a world of retained hurt
And I know, honey, I know well
You wonder the reason you changed for
A token, honey, token known
Time will escape, you can be sure
To see it, honey, I see you well

Older, we want closure
You're holding on top when your life is on hold
Neither, I don't, I don't want to leave you alone
I'm talking my mind as I'm torn, on and on

I don't want to leave you alone
I'm talking my mind as I'm torn, on and on
