Youth
Beach Fossil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not so worth getting all bent out of shape about
I'll turn my back on it and next you know it's all run out
Do you wanna step outside, or do you want it right?
I don't just what I feel, but I feel it all tonight

I give it all in these hours that we set aside
I know I'm feeling brief, but that's because my heart's untied
Don't wanna trim any more off of our only truth
We've got enough to spare 'cause we're awake throughout our youth





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Youth" by Beach Fossils convey a sense of youthful abandon and living in the moment without worrying about the future. The singer acknowledges that life can be chaotic and uncertain, but chooses to turn a blind eye to it rather than getting stressed or anxious. The phrase "It's not so worth getting all bent out of shape about" suggests a passive and accepting attitude towards life's challenges.


The second verse continues with this theme of living in the moment and giving everything in the present. The phrase "I give it all in these hours that we set aside" conveys the singer's commitment to making the most of their time with someone they care about. The line "that's because my heart's untied" suggests a sense of freedom and openness to experience without any emotional baggage holding them back.


The chorus, "Don't wanna trim any more off of our only truth, we've got enough to spare 'cause we're awake throughout our youth" reinforces the idea that youth is a precious time to be savored, and every moment should be lived fully without worrying about the future. The phrase "our only truth" suggests that the present moment is the only thing that truly matters, and the singer wants to hold onto it for as long as possible.
