Youth Lyrics

Shadows settle on the place that you left
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time
From the perfect start to the finish line

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong

We are the reckless, we are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone
We're setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home
It was a flood that wrecked this home

And you caused it
And you caused it
And you caused it

Well, I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette
I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget
And my eyes are damp from the words you left
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone
Setting fire to our insides for fun
To distract our hearts from ever missing them
But I'm forever missing him

And you caused it
And you caused it
And you caused it

What is the Meaning of Youth?

When life hands you lemons, Daughter suggests you might just set them on fire! "Youth" is a hauntingly beautiful ode to the trials and tribulations of young love. It captures the essence of heartbreak, painting vivid pictures of emotional turmoil and devastation. The song explores themes of recklessness, loss, and nostalgia associated with youth. It's about setting yourself ablaze emotionally for temporary relief or distraction from the pain caused by failed relationships. So if you're still breathing, bleeding or in love - consider yourself lucky! But remember, if your heart hasn't been shattered to pieces at least once, are you even living?
