Youth
(Alle Farben Remix) Daughter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 the flood that wrecked our home
It was a flood that wrecked this
And you caused it
And you caused it
And you caused it
Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silouhette
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget
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

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 the flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this...
... and you caused it...
... and you caused it...
... and you caused it...
Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silouhette,
A lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
My eyes ae 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
Testo italiano:
Le ombre si stabiliscono nel luogo che tu hai lasciato
Le nostre menti sono tormentate dal senso di vuoto
Dall'inizio perfetto fino alla linea di arrivo
Distruggo il percorso centrale, è una perdita di tempo
E se respirate ancora, siete fortunati
Perché molti di noi si sforzano di respirare con dei polmoni logorati
Diamo fuoco a ciò che abbiamo dentro per divertimento
Collezionando i nomi delle persone che abbiamo amato e con cui è finita male
Che abbiamo amato e con cui è finita male
Siamo degli incoscienti
Siamo la gioventù selvaggia
Rincorriamo visioni del nostro futuro
Un giorno riveleremo la verità
Che è difficile scoprire prima di morire
E se sanguinate ancora, siete fortunati
Perché la maggior parte dei nostri sentimenti, sono morti e ci hanno lasciati
Diamo fuoco a ciò che abbiamo dentro per divertimento
Collezionando immagini dall'alluvione che ha distrutto la nostra casa,
E' stata un'alluvione che ha distrutto tutto questo
Ed è colpa tua
Ed è colpa tua
Ed è colpa tua
Beh, ho perso tutto, sono solo una sagoma
Una faccia senza vita di cui presto ti dimenticherai
Ho gli occhi lucidi per via delle parole che mi hai lasciato,
Quando mi hai spezzato il cuore, e che ora risuonano nella mia testa,
Quando mi hai spezzato il cuore, e che ora risuonano nella mia testa,
E se siete innamorati, siete fortunati
Perché molti di noi sono amareggiati per via di qualcuno
Diamo fuoco a ciò che abbiamo dentro per divertimento
Per distrarre i nostri cuori in modo che non sentano la loro mancanza
Ma mi manca e mi mancherà per sempre
Ed è colpa tua

La oscuridad ocupa el lugar que dejaste.
Nuestras mentes están perturbadas por la soledad.
Destruye el miedo, es una pérdida de tiempo.
Desde el comienzo perfecto hasta la línea de meta.
Y si sigues respirando, eres de los afortunados.
Porque la mayoría de nosotros estamos tirando de pulmones estropeados.
Prendiendo fuego a nuestro interior por diversión
Coleccionando nombres de los amores que terminaron mal
Amores que terminaron mal.
Somos los imprudentes,
Somos la juventud salvaje
Persiguiendo visiones de nuestro futuro
Un dia revelaremos la verdad
De que uno va a morir antes de llegar allí.
Y si sigues sangrando, eres de los afortunados
Porque la mayoría de nuestros sentimientos, están muertos y están enterrados.
Estamos prendiendo fuego a nuestro interior por diversión.
Coleccionando fotos de la inundación que destruyó nuestra casa,
Fue una inundación lo que destruyó esto...
...Y tú lo causaste...
...Y tú lo causaste...
...Y tú lo causaste...
Bueno, lo he perdido todo, tan solo soy una silueta,
Un rostro sin vida que pronto olvidarás,
Mis ojos están húmedos por las palabras que dejaste,
Sonando en mi cabeza, cuando rompiste mi pecho.
Sonando en mi cabeza, cuando rompiste mi pecho.
Y si estás enamorado, entonces eres el afortunado,
Porque la mayoría de nosotros estamos amargados por alguien.
Prendiendo fuego a nuestro interior por diversión,
Para distraer nuestros corazones para no echarles de menos.
Pero yo siempre estoy echándole de menos.
Y tú lo causaste,
Y tú lo causaste,
Y tú lo causaste.

Though the song lyrics are rather melancholy, I found it very soothing. Her voice, coupled with the instruments, just lulls me away…
