“Twenty-Something" veio acompanhado do
primeiro vídeo oficial dos Pet Shop Boys. O vídeo de Gavin
Filipiak aponta uma cena comum em várias cidades do mundo, quando mostra um
ex-detento enfrentando as dificuldades e
resistências da sociedade no apoio à sua reinserção.
O vídeo
também sinaliza um perigoso círculo vicioso para um jovem sem oportunidades.
"Twenty-Something" se aplica a vários outros contextos. Posso, por exemplo, tirar conclusões mais
profundas para indicar uma falência do modo de vida capitalista, cada vez mais
insustentável para muitos jovens.
O
segundo single será lançado em 17 de Junho no formato digital e físico. Nenhum anúncio oficial sobre os b-sides e remixes foram feitos. Antes disso, vale a pena
ver o vídeo com dramas comuns e lastimáveis na vida de muitos jovens mundo afora.
Twenty-something
good as new
Expectations
got a few
Find an issue
get ahead
Got it sorted
like you said
You’re twenty-something
Join the queue
Twenty-something
in the mix
Always that
ironic twist
Got a start-up
good to go
when the money
starts to flow
Oh, Twenty-something
up to tricks
That’s how you are
or have to be
in a decadent city
at a time of greed
You can make believe
that it’s all you need
Sometimes it’s hard
day to day
to pay your way
Twenty-something
Quite a catch
Think you'll ever
meet your match?
You’ve always been somewhat choosy
but you’ll love her for the length
of a good movie
Oh, Twenty-something
Call her back
That's how you are
or have to be
in a decadent city
at a time of greed
You can make believe
that it’s all you need
Take your smart phone
and make your way home
on your own
Twenty-something
Hard to beat
Check your reflection
walking down the street
Thirty’s calling
round the bend
Will your ideas
ever trend?
Oh, Twenty-something
feel the heat
Find an issue
get ahead
Got it sorted
like you said
You’re twenty-something
and so to bed
That’s how you are
or have to be
in a decadent city
at a time of greed
You can make believe
that it’s all you need
Sometimes it’s hard
day to day
to pay your way
