Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴One day the world will be gone
There'll be no one here to walk the land

Ester Dean sings, "Right now we're crazy youngsters, time is running out, but who cares we're running free." Here, she seems to be suggesting that we should not worry too much about the future or the past because we are young, we have energy, and we can take risks and be wild.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "they call us crazy youngsters" as a sort of anthem of rebellion against the expectations of society. Ester Dean's message to the listener is to embrace their youth, be fearless, and not apologize for being who they are.
