About This Track

'17' by Stand Atlantic is a rock song from the album 'WAS HERE', released in 2024. The lyrics are a grim, angry reflection on being young and tangled up in harm, with the speaker asking how to cope at that age. They describe shifting from not seeking harm to finding it, refusing to back down, and resenting the way someone is used, culminating in disgust at the thought of what happened, and a wish for a harsher outcome, summed up in the question, “How do you deal with that shit”.

"17" is a track by Stand Atlantic, from the album WAS HERE, released 22nd August 2024. The track is 3:07 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 13 articles about Stand Atlantic.

Lyrics

17

(How do you deal with that shit when you're 17?)
I wasn't lookin' out for blood and now I found it
Wouldn't give it up, you fought around it
Use me like a drug
I took a piece of the darkness with me at 17
It makes me sick in my mouth to think about it
Shoulda knocked you out, would do it now
Don't think your mum would be too proud
What if I told her, what if I told her?
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
Kill me
Use me like a drug, use me like a drug
Take me
Why would I ever want that with you?
(Why would I ever want that with you?)
Don't even wanna say it all
And I don't need to
Been a couple years
Should I be sorry for getting it out now?
But how do you even deal with that shit when you're 17?
Took a chunk out of my soul to keep a secret
Weaker than your will to get your dick wet
Adrenaline rush
Took all you could get
And left me shipwrecked
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
Kill me
Use me like a drug, use me like a drug
Take me
Why would I ever want that with you?
Kill me
Use me like a drug, use me like a drug
Take me
Why would I ever want that with you?
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
Spit on your face to save my breath
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish we never fuckin' met
And I wish we never fuckin' met
I wish I never fuckin' met you
