- Five Years LyricsPushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth she was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Well, I knew he wasn't lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys and toys, electric irons, TVs
My brain felt like a warehouse it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat, skinny people
And all the tall, short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
Christ, I never thought I'd need so many people
Girl my age went off her head
She hit some tiny children
And if the black hadn't pulled her off
Then I think I know she would have killed them
I saw a soldier with a broken arm
Staring to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer well he threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
I don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your ace, the way that you talk
Well, I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
We got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
Five years, my brain hurts a lot
We got five years, that's all we've got
Five years, that's all we've got
Five years

Facts about Five Years
✔️
Five Years is written by David Bowie.
✔️
It is first released on January 20, 1993 as part of Fish's album "Songs From the Mirror [Deluxe Edition]" which includes 25 tracks in total. This song is the 10th track on this album.
✔️
When we search for the deeper meaning hidden within the lines, the track "Five Years" from Fish depicts a disorganised situation where the world is on a cusp to rapper and people are behaving in different ways to the end of the world. The words express an atmosphere of urgency, confusion and desperation as persons come to terms with the fact that they have a very short time to live. This not only highlights the diversity of human reactions and emotions but also the chaotic event as the main theme of the song. Five years lyrics mainly put social commentary, reflection, love, despair and angst in the foreground. The song, nevertheless, conveys the same message of mortality and urgency, and also societal observation, chaos and violence, while nostalgia and longing are at the same time depicted. The lyrics deal with quite heavy themes and do not even keep violence and mental distress out of their context, which may be considered not suitable for kids younger than 13 years old. The portrayal of a character that hurts children together with the soldier with a broken arm gives a hint of the intensity that necessitates guidance from the parents.
✔️
