reality is a drag at any age. especially when you're in your late 20s heading towards 30. awesome song. always been one of my favorites from the band.
yes sweet blooming 18,when this song came in the light of the world i was 18 years old. and this song play round and round in my cd player. this song helps me with learning in school, and in hard times feel like balsam. i love this song so much now like before 10 years.its the best what can AOB made. fun from Slovakia,
This song makes me think of protective parents who don't want their 18 year old girl to dress in a manner that may attract predators: 'barely blooming 18 wants to know what's hiding in the shadows?'
I think what it means is that to teenagers at 17 and 18, reality is a "drag," in that it sucks. They have to learn to be responsible and grow up. "Reality is always such a drag to barely blooming eighteens." It sucks at that age because you are no longer a kid, though parents sometimes treat you like a kid still. At the same time, you cant do whatever you want-you have to grow up eventually.
Thanks a lot for this song. I always supposed this song had a video, i guess i`m wrong ^^ Nice for the subtitles. Cheers! Aguante Ace of Base, The best pop band of the 90`s :)

I guess it's 'drag' too, where that means 'something very annoying' right? I don't know, I'm not a native speaker..;-)

A drag, drags down your spirits from a previously more uplifted position. It makes you disappointed and slightly sad.
