Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glowing finish line, made it in record time
Hey, baby, we made it
My head's faded, headlights dilated
Spinnin', spinnin' and I can't sit still
Spinnin', spinnin' and we can't sit still
Roll the window down, reach out, feel around for new life
Damn, you and those green eyes
We can never stop movin', we see nothin' but the green lights
Spinnin', spinnin' and we can't sit still
Spinnin', spinnin' and we can't sit still
God save, God save our young blood
God save, God save our young love
Hot pavement, hot pavement, hot wheels in the sun
God save our young blood
God save, God save our young blood
God save, God save our young love
Warm waves, warm waves, on the coast where we love
God save our young blood
Climbed up the tree of life, kicked out of paradise
Living good, doing evil is the toss of the dice
Couple of wild eyes, cup full of high life
She's an angel and a devil of her own device
She's got me spinnin' (spinnin')
Spinnin' and I can't sit still (you know I can't sit still)
Oh, spinnin', spinnin' and we can't sit still
God save, God save our young blood
God save, God save our young love
Hot pavement, hot pavement, hot wheels in the sun
God save our young blood
God save, God save our young blood
God save, God save our young love
Warm waves, warm waves, on the coast where we love
God save our young blood
God save the ocean, God save the breeze
Save the words from my lips, save the birds, save the bees
Baby save me one last sip while you strip on the beach
I'll save you in the waves if you swim too deep
God save, God save our young blood
God save our young love
God save, God save our young blood
God save, God save our young love
Hot pavement, hot pavement, hot wheels in the sun
God save our young blood
God save, God save our young blood
God save, God save our young love
Warm waves, warm waves, on the coast where we love
God save our young blood
On the coast where we love
God save our young blood
On the coast where we love
God save our young blood
The lyrics to BØRNS's song God Save Our Young Blood explore the youthful feeling of taking risks, living in the moment, and experiencing life to the fullest. The opening lines set the scene of the sunrise, symbolizing a new beginning after a wild night of adventure. They have made it to the finish line, but their heads are foggy and their eyes are dilated, suggesting they have overindulged and lost themselves to the moment.
The chorus repeats the plea to God to save their youth and love, indicating that although they are carefree and reckless in their behavior, they are aware of the fleeting nature of youth and the need to hold onto it. The song describes the thrill of driving on hot pavement in a convertible with the top down, reaching out and feeling the world around them. The imagery of baptism in blue skies and warm waves on the coast creates an atmosphere of rebirth and renewal, further emphasizing the themes of youth and freedom.
The lyrics also touch upon the duality of human nature - the good and the evil within us. The writer acknowledges the toss of the dice between living good and doing evil, suggesting that he and his partner are not perfect, but they choose to live in the moment and enjoy life despite its contradictions. The song ends with a romantic image of saving each other in the waves if they swim too deep, emphasizing the importance of being there for one another through life's ups and downs.

BØRNS + LANA DEL REY = MASTERPIECE ❤🙌💫💫
@snovmantes2755
Those saying Børns did Lana dirty.. He didn't. A lot of artists make minor appearances in other artists' songs or albums to simply lend backing vocals. Not like there are always verses made for the featured artist. It's about how the song can be arranged to sound beautiful.
To me this song has his own magic. A verse after the pre-chorus teasing our anticipation for the chorus. Changing the verse after chorus completely. It replaces our expectation with something better. The bridge is very beautiful to me. My favourite segment comes after the first chorus (1:42-2:11)
@carriethompson84
I love how Lana always likes to help these Rising Stars, she's so sweet in that way! I have never heard of this guy but he has a really nice voice
@tonimusicc
sounds like you need tolisten to the iconic ELECTRIC LOVE by them hehe
@Grassandtreess
I never heard of Lana Del Ray until I decided to look her up recently. I would always listen to Børns when I was younger, but never knew who he was. Then I found Garrett again. I just love his music and it inspired my taste in music.
