Mouth
Best Youth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You
Keep moving close
Till you hit the weakness
Don't
Open your eyes
Focus on my lips

I'm telling you things
But I don't speak
I'm showing you why
But you don't see
Could've let you off the hook so easily

When my mouth
Meets you mouth
We're Silent
When my mouth
Meets you mouth
We're right here
Don't let it slip from your tongue

Soothe
No secret codes
And no false intentions
Oh
When you're this close
I can feel the pressure

Can't believe it's finally happening now
A disease incurable
It's in the lips
They'll be licking each other
We'll be loving each other until they break free
You...

When my mouth
Meets you mouth
We're Silent
When my mouth
Meets you mouth
We're right here
Don't let it slip from your tongue

Don't let it
Don´t let it
Don't let it slip from your tongue
Don´t let it slip from your tongue




Don´t let it
No… Uhhhhhh…

Overall Meaning

The song "Mouth" by Best Youth follows a narrative of two individuals coming together in a moment of intense physical attraction. The first verse sets the scene of the two getting closer together, both physically and emotionally. The singer seems to be giving hints to their partner through their body language rather than explicitly expressing their desires. The chorus emphasizes that the moment when their mouths meet is the pinnacle of the desire that has been building up. The second verse acknowledges that this is not just a casual encounter, but a deep connection between two people that has been building up. The bridge emphasizes the importance of being careful in what is said and done in these intimate moments.


Best Youth's vocals are haunting and intimate, bringing a sense of vulnerability to the song. The dreamy synth-pop sound enhances the sensuality of the lyrics. The repetition of the line "Don't let it slip from your tongue" creates an anxiety around the fragility of the moment, heightening its emotional impact.
