Lyrics: minor
Hit me 310 And I'll be home at some point Past sundown, because traffic You already know that, oh I'll put on a show If you just come over I'm sorry your house is in Glendale Or somewhere far I would drive all night to get to you But my curfew is early and mom's up at home I would run for miles to get to you But you gotta understand, I can't 'cause M-I-N-O-R I'm minorly stuck And it's not your fault Just how things are M-I-N-O-R I'm all out of luck I'm minorly stuck, oh Hit me 310 We'll meet by the freeway It's shady, but better than nothing Oh, take my word I grew up not far, but never been down here At this time Your house is in Glendale Or somewhere far I would drive all night to get to you But my curfew is early and dad's at the door I would run for miles to get to you But you gotta understand, I can't 'cause M-I-N-O-R I'm minorly stuck And it's not your fault Just how things are M-I-N-O-R I'm all out of luck I'm minorly stuck M-I-N-O-R I'm minorly stuck And it's not your fault Just how things are M-I-N-O-R I'm all out of luck I'm minorly stuck
Analysis: Navigating Youthful Limitations
minor by artis captures the bittersweet tension of adolescence, where longing and limitations collide. The song’s narrator wants nothing more than to bridge the distance between themselves and someone special, but is held back by the realities of being young—early curfews, parental supervision, and the boundaries set by geography and circumstance. The recurring motif of “M-I-N-O-R” cleverly highlights the double meaning: both the singer’s age and their sense of being stuck in a situation beyond their control.
Details like “Hit me 310,” references to Glendale, and meeting by the freeway root the song in a distinctly Southern Californian landscape, adding authenticity and relatability. The chorus’s repetition of being “minorly stuck” is both playful and poignant, acknowledging that these obstacles are temporary but feel monumental in the moment. Ultimately, the track resonates as an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt the push and pull of youthful desire and restriction, finding solace in shared experience.
