Through vivid imagery and raw emotion, YUNGBLUD critiques modern life's overwhelming information overload and its detrimental impact on creativity and individuality.

Cruel Kids
Lyrics
Slow dance with me in traffic
Handmake our pornographics
I'd crash my automatic
To spend time with you
But I took too many drugs tonight
Now I can't hold myself upright
But I know that you'll be somewhere out there
Suffering too
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
'Cause I won't survive it
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
'Cause I won't survive it
But I know I don't wanna do what the cruel kids do
'Cause they're so confused
I don't wanna like what the cruel kids like
I'd rather burn alive
I want a better life, I want a better life
I want a better life
'Cause I know I don't wanna do what the cruel kids do
I want a better life
(Yeah)
Uncensored conversation
Art is dead, killed by information
And I feel so fucking frustrated
'Cause I'm guilty too, yeah
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
'Cause I won't survive it
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
'Cause I won't survive it
I don't wanna do what the cruel kids do
'Cause they're so confused
I don't wanna like what the cruel kids like
I'd rather burn alive
I want a better life, I want a better life
I want a better life
'Cause I know I don't wanna do what the cruel kids do
I want a better life
(Don't leave me alone)
('Cause I won't survive it)
(Don't leave me alone)
(Don't leave me alone)
(Don't leave me alone)
('Cause I won't survive it)
