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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 5 Seconds of Summer's song "Youngblood" capture the feelings of a broken relationship and the struggle to move on. The singer reflects on the promises made in the past, where they were told to be loved until death. They surrendered everything to believe that they were the other person's, but now they are just called by their name instead of the endearing term "baby." The lyrics "Takes one to know one, yeah, you beat me at my own damn game" suggest that the other person has turned the tables and triumphed in the relationship.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Youngblood," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's youth and vitality. They desire to be wanted and loved by the other person, but also express a sense of hopelessness and resignation. The line "I'm just a dead man walking tonight" signifies the feeling of being emotionally drained and defeated in the relationship. The repetition of "you need it, yeah, you need it, all of the time" emphasizes the other person's constant need for attention and validation.


The second verse touches on the deterioration of their conversations, which now end as if it's the last goodbye. One or both parties get drunk and make multiple calls, showing a desperate attempt to hold on. The singer questions who the other person has been calling, hoping that no one can replace their presence in their life. The final lines again emphasize the singer's vulnerability and longing, as they hope that even in the presence of strangers, the other person will see their face.


Overall, "Youngblood" portrays the struggle of holding onto a fading relationship, feeling used and drained while still desperately desiring love and validation.


Line by Line Meaning

Remember the words you told me, love me 'til the day I die
I still hold onto the promises you made, to love me forever


Surrender my everything 'cause you made me believe you're mine
I gave up everything for you because I believed we belonged together


Yeah, you used to call me baby, now you calling me by name
Once you called me affectionately, but now you refer to me with detachment


Takes one to know one, yeah
You understand my actions because you've done the same


You beat me at my own damn game
You outwitted me in the game I thought I had control over


Lately our conversations end like it's the last goodbye
Recently, our talks feel like final farewells


Yeah, one of us gets too drunk and calls about a hundred times
Sometimes, when one of us gets intoxicated, we make endless desperate calls


So who you been calling, baby, nobody could take my place
I wonder who you've been reaching out to, because no one can replace me


When you're looking at those strangers, hope to God you see my face
I hope that amongst all the unfamiliar faces, you still remember me


You're running around and I'm running away
While you're busy exploring other options, I'm trying to escape from you


Running away from you, from you
Specifically, I'm fleeing from you and our toxic relationship

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

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
