Young
Buildings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why tonight, why tonight
Why tonight, what's so different tonight?
Why tonight, I waited for you
Bring in, seen you all my life

Night scene stealer, night scene stealer
In any other city, I care
In any other city, I'm hung up with a short click
So why tonight, why tonight

Why tonight, what's so different?
Bring in, seen you all my life
Night scene stealer, night scene stealer
Bring in, seen you all my life

Night scene stealer, night scene stealer
In any other city, I care
In any other city, I'm hung up with a sharp click
Why tonight, why tonight

Why tonight, I waited for you
Bring it, seen you all my life
Night scene stealer, night scene stealer
Bring it, seen you all my life

Night scene stealer, night scene stealer
In any other city, I care
In any other city in the world, I'm hung up with a sharp click
Two six too sick

It's not a number, don't remember this, forget it
It's not a number
Two six too sick
Don't remember this, it does twist

Two six too sick
Don't remember this
So why tonight, why tonight
Why tonight, it gets dark, that's all





In any other city, I care
In any other city in the world, I'm hung up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Buildings' song "Young" are somewhat puzzling and leave plenty of room for interpretation. The first line, "Why tonight, why tonight?" is repeated several times throughout the song, suggesting a sense of urgency or anticipation. The line "Bring in, seen you all my life" could refer to a feeling of familiarity with someone, as if they've known them forever. The phrase "night scene stealer" could be interpreted as someone who stands out in a social gathering or party, perhaps someone who captures everyone's attention.


The chorus of the song seems to suggest that the singer is focused on a specific person or encounter that is different or unusual. They are waiting for this person and seem to have a sense of longing for them. The line "Two six too sick" is somewhat enigmatic and could mean a variety of things - perhaps two people are involved, the singer is 26 years old, or something else entirely. Ultimately, the song's repeated refrain of "why tonight?" suggests that there is something special or unique about this moment that the singer is trying to understand.

This is what id imagine an abstract painting would sound like. Chaotic and cohesive all mixed together 🌼

Woah, that's actually a very accurate description of this song.

This song reminds me of Dadaism (an artistic movement)!
