The song "9teen" by David Hugo is about a nineteen-year-old who drops out of school and moves back to his hometown to start anew. He is determined to make better choices and move forward in his life. However, he struggles to find genuine friends and experiences loneliness and isolation. He also wants to be successful and have a matching set of things like his peers, but realizes that he has to work hard to achieve that. The song emphasizes the feeling of being lost and searching for one's identity in the midst of transitioning into adulthood.
