About 29

"29" is a reflection on a past relationship with someone who was much older. The lyrics suggest that the relationship began when the narrator was underage, as evidenced by the line "petal on the vine, too young to drink wine". Despite being far from innocent, the narrator questions whether or not consent was truly given. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the younger party was in a vulnerable state and had some unresolved issues that the older partner took advantage of. .

29 Lyrics

[00:10.46] Petal on the vine, too young to drink wine
[00:15.71] Just five years a bleeder, student and a teacher
[00:21.09] Far from innocent, what the fuck's consent?
[00:26.23] Numbers told you not to, but that didn't stop you
[00:33.92] Finally twenty-nine
[00:37.97] Funny, just like you were at the time
[00:43.12] Thought it was a teenage dream, just a fantasy
[00:48.73] But was it yours or was it mine?
[00:52.84] Seventeen, twenty-nine
[00:56.23] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
[01:03.49] Seventeen, twenty-nine
[01:05.49] Had me in your grip, went beautifully with
[01:10.59] All my daddy issues and this shit continues
[01:15.16] I see you're quite the collector
[01:17.97] Yeah, you're twelve years her elder
[01:20.23] Maybe now it doesn't matter
[01:23.24] But I know fucking better
[01:25.84] Now I know fucking better 'cause I'm
[01:28.62] Finally twenty-nine
[01:32.67] Funny, just like you were at the time
[01:37.98] Thought it was a teenage dream, just a fantasy
[01:43.40] But was it yours or was it mine?
[01:47.74] Seventeen, twenty-nine
[01:51.00] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
[01:58.17] Seventeen, twenty-nine
[02:01.36] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
[02:08.47] Seventeen, twenty-nine
[02:10.47] Finally twenty-nine
[02:14.44] Seventeen would never cross my mind
[02:19.50] Thought it was a teenage dream, a fantasy
[02:25.13] But it was yours, it wasn't mine
[02:29.20] Seventeen, twenty-nine
[02:32.92] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
[02:39.76]
