Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surrender my everything 'cause you made me believe you're mine
Yeah, you used to call me baby, now you calling me by name
Takes one to know one, yeah
You beat me at my own damn game
You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life
And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh
Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Back in your life
So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh
Lately our conversations end like it's the last goodbye
Yeah, one of us gets too drunk and calls about a hundred times
So who you been calling, baby, nobody could take my place
When you're looking at those strangers, hope to God you see my face
Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life
And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh
Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Back in your life
So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh
You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take
You're running around and I'm running away
Running away from you, from you
Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life
And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh
Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Back in your life
So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh
You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take
Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life
And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
The lyrics to "Youngblood" by 5 Seconds of Summer tell the story of a failing relationship where one person is pushing and pulling away while the other clings on. The first and second verses paint a picture of a couple in love, but things have changed, and the person singing is left feeling like they're losing the battle. The chorus reflects the frustration in the situation as the singer pleads with their partner to say what they want. The bridge shows how the relationship has deteriorated into constant arguments, desperation, and attempts to hold onto what they once had. The song ultimately ends with the singer feeling like a "dead man walking" – a stranger in a relationship that they once knew so well.
The lyrics relate to the theme of love, heartbreak, and relationships. The verses and chorus highlight the struggle of someone trying to hold onto love when the other person is letting go. It talks about the frustration and inner turmoil of trying to move forward when someone is constantly pulling you back. The song expresses the pain of letting go of someone you love even when it is the only option left. It is a typical tale of a love story that has gone wrong.

Remember the words you told me, love me 'til the day I die
Recollect the promises you made to me that you will love me forever
Surrender my everything 'cause you made me believe you're mine
I gave everything to you as I thought we belonged to each other
Yeah, you used to call me baby, now you calling me by name
You used to address me affectionately, but now you refer to me formally
Takes one to know one, yeah
The way you treat me is probably because you have experienced it yourself
You beat me at my own damn game
You outsmarted me in something that I thought I excel in

Lately our conversations end like it's the last goodbye
Our dialogues conclude as though it's the final farewell
Yeah, one of us gets too drunk and calls about a hundred times
Either of us drinks excessively and makes numerous phone calls to the other
So who you been calling, baby, nobody could take my place
I wonder who you've been talking to, but nobody could fill the void I left behind
When you're looking at those strangers, hope to God you see my face
I hope that even when you're with other people, my memory remains vivid in your mind
You're running around and I'm running away
Running away from you, from you
You're busy chasing things and people, and I'm evading you

FUCK..... I'M SORRY, BUT IT CAN'T BE OTHERWISE. MY WAY. THE SONG IS AND WILL BE A LEGEND AND THOSE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY APPARENTLY HAVE NOT LISTENED ENOUGH AND DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO IT....
4 ME IMMORAL 😍🤩🤩😍🤩😘😘
Ps: In my opinion, the song is perfect for people who know that there is no such thing as age or time💪🤳💪
Unfortunately, no one can stop time, so I'm pissed with tears, more tears.
Most would like to live forever, but that's not how it works, unfortunately... or maybe fortunately, hmmm.
Generally, I know that you have it in 4 letters, but it's sad nooooo....
It's amazing that a song can have such a significant impact on 2-3 people. Too much thought, too little time ;(
