(x4) Seems like yesterday we were sixteen We were the rebels of the rebel scene He wore Doc Martens in the sun Drinking vintage cider having fun We were drinking vintage cider having fun It wasn't often that we'd fight at all It wasn't often It wasn't often that we'd fight at all It wasn't often (x4) We wore Doc Martens in the snow (We will never go) Paint our toe-nails black and let our hair grow (We will never grow) What I am now's what I was then (We will never know) I am not more acceptable than them But I am not more acceptable than them It wasn't often that we'd fight at all It wasn't often It wasn't often that we'd fight at all It wasn't often Seems like yesterday we were sixteen We were the rebels of the rebel scene

La chanson évoque les souvenirs d'une jeunesse insouciante, où deux amis se remémorent leurs seize ans, période durant laquelle ils se considéraient comme des rebelles. Ils se rappellent des moments passés à s’amuser sous le soleil avec des Doc Martens aux pieds et à siroter du cidre vintage. Leur insouciance était telle qu'ils se battaient rarement, vivant pleinement chaque instant sans trop de préoccupations. Le texte capture cette nostalgie d'une époque où tout semblait simple et où l'identité se définissait par des choix de style audacieux, comme le vernis à ongles noir et les cheveux longs. Les paroles soulignent une intention de rester fidèle à soi-même, malgré le passage du temps et les changements de la vie. C'est un reflet d'une quête d'authenticité dans un monde en constant mouvement.
