What the what?

Hat pulled to the side so you can't see his eyes
Had pulled tight so he can't see the light
Not sharing looks so you can't see his fight
Standing his ground despite recommended flight
It's Friday the 13th but no feelings of fright
Life is bliss like I can see without sight
Everything aglow like a moon on the river at night
The river looks mad calm, but it's moving like I'm moving on
Walking backward because I don't care where I'm going
Dumming-it-down so you can't see I'm growing
Biting my tongue so you can't hear I'm flowing
Gas you up assuring you you're all-knowing
And I'm chuckling, in fact laughing, waving my hand as I'm passing
I've got years in this game, yo, I'm Tuck Everlasting
No growing up, why you think I still have the hip hop blasting?
And I'm dancing because I'm happy
Somebody slap me, because I'm not sure what's happening
