Youngblood
5 Seconds of Summer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember the words you told me, love me 'til the day I die
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
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
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

Line by Line Meaning

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


Youngblood Say you want me Say you want me Out of your life
Addressing the other person as a youth, demanding them to confirm that they don't want me anymore


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
I feel like a lifeless person walking around without purpose, while you persistently require something from me


Youngblood Say you want me Say you want me Back in your life
Again addressing the other person as a youth, asking them to confirm that they want me back in their 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
I feel like a feeble person, moving slowly towards you because I crave something from you


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

theres still a lot of people that ddnt get the meaning of the video

the pill they took was a drug to kill themselves. its common for people in their old age to consider death. its not a magical thing that makes them young nor teleports them in the past

before anyone saying, "they may still have years to live." just consider that at old age, their body starts failing. hearing loss. bad sight. mind starts to detoriate. the couple were lucky they can still decides for themselves.

after the couple said, "lets enjoy our remaining time." the video went to their younger self. its just a visual representation on their memories when they are reminiscing together while waiting for the drug to work, hence the 24hour timer on the guy's watch.

youngblood. probably the most fun and exciting time and a special part of their life. meeting each other, fell in love and being just a total badass.

the last part where the two young couple leans on each other as the timer went to zero signifies that the two old couple dies.

its quite sad but really its just life



@jamessum4149

Actually, he said,


"Let's have fun for 14 hours"


and she then responded with:
"Let's have fun" [LITERAL TRANSLATION]
(In English it would have been "Yes, let's have fun.")


But whatever you were close enough

The first scene says in Japanese

Woman ''So do I.''
Man ''We will enjoy our remaining time!''
Woman ''So will we.''

@scarlettrose2928

I WAS ACTUALLY SAD WHEN THERE WERE NO CAPTIONS THANK YOU

@roshn.i

Hailey H they killed themselves I think. The translation is more like "I thank you too" and "we will".
