Xanadu

Xanadu ( /ˈzæn.ə.duː/; Mongolian: šanadu), or Shangdu (Chinese: 上都; pinyin: Shàngdū, Mandarin pronunciation: [ʂɑ̂ŋ tú]) was the summer capital of Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty in China, before he decided to move the seat of his dynasty to the Jin Dynasty capital of Zhōngdū (Chinese: 中都), which he renamed Dàdū, the present-day Beijing. Xanadu was visited by the Venetian traveler Marco Polo in about 1275, and in 1797 inspired a famous poem, Kubla Khan, by one of the leading English poets of the Romanticism movement, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. more »

The man who was still a boy in many, many ways

Take me back to the beach again
Take me back to just being kids
Really wish that I could see my friends
I really wish we were happy again
I really wish I could be at that place
Where everyone who's gone is supposed to be
And I would give anything just to see their face
But what the f*ck would they even think of me

Everybody tells me I should grow up, grow up
I guess now I really have to show up, show up
Swear to God it makes me wanna throw up, throw up
All I ever wanted was to blow up, blow up
Everybody tells me I should grow up, grow up
I guess now I really have to show up, show up
Swear to God it makes me wanna throw up, throw up
All I ever wanted was to blow up, blow up

I remember back when I was 13
Thought I had it figured out, thought I knew everything
I tried love for once and I got fucked up
But I had no idea how bad it was
F*ck, now I'm 18 years old
What the f*ck
I thought I was supposed to be grown up
And still nobody really gives a f*ck
I said still nobody even gives a f*ck about me
Or if I'm happy
They just care about my grades
They just care if I look clean
And they all fucking wonder why I'm making so much noise
I'm supposed to be a man, but I'm still a fucking boy
Oh no
They don't give a f*ck that I've been on the road
They don't give a f*ck about popping at a show
How the f*ck am I supposed to enjoy
When I'm supposed to be a man, but I'm still a fucking boy
Oh no

Everybody tells me I should grow up, grow up
I guess now I really have to show up, show up
Swear to God it makes me wanna throw up, throw up
All I ever wanted was to blow up, blow up
Everybody tells me I should grow up, grow up
I guess now I really have to show up, show up
Swear to God it makes me wanna throw up, throw up
All I ever wanted was to blow up, blow up

I wanna go home
