Yes.

If this were "A Contre Courant" I'd keep "current of air" to maintain the electrical reference, but as it is J'Ai Pas Vingt Ans, I'll make the switch.
Oops you're right. I thought it was ACC...

How about "times that split us apart?" My dictionary provided "to split" as a part of the same slang usage as "to clear off."
In the lyrics link in my previous post, they use "Of the time that flies". I think it's good too.

I'm guessing this is the same usage of "barre" that we find in C'Est Trop Tard, where she she says "Je me barre!" It basically means she's leaving him
Yes it's the same. But it doesn't necessarily imply that you're leaving someone. Basically, it just means that you're going away.
