dying young
CONVOLK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wasted all of this day
Do it all again, same mistake
I ain't like to learn since the 6th grade
Yeah that's when shit changed, yeah
Lie that I'm getting better
When I'm really not
This the only chance I got to get to the top
Such great heights, but I'll fall back down
And I'm worried sick that I
Won't stick around too long

Now, I'm dyin' young, I'm dyin' young
I'm dyin' young, I'm dyin' young
Devil's in the details, in the details
In the details
I can't see well, but I see I'm dyin' young
I'm dyin' young, I'm dyin' young
I'm dyin' young
No peace sells, so please yell
Oh please yell, oh please yell yeah, yeah

Oh woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah oh you know, you know, you know

Leavin' at the wrong time
Haven't thought about you in a long time
Lyin' to your face like "I'm alright", yeah
Like I'm alright, yeah
Knife in my back left a gapin' wound
Whether I change isn't up to you
Death on my shoulder, the raven I shoot
Shouts to my trauma, I do this for you
Call signs, on stage in the limelight, yeah
On stage in my free time, yeah
Only thing that fuckin' feels right, yeah

Too bad I'm dyin' young, I'm dyin' young
I'm dyin' young, I'm dyin' young
Devil's in the details, in the details
In the details
I can't see well, but I see I'm dyin' young
I'm dyin' young, I'm dyin' young
I'm dyin' young




No peace sells, so please yell
Oh please yell, yeah, please yell yeah, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to CONVOLK's song "dying young" explore themes of self-destructive behavior, regrets, and the constant struggle to find inner peace. The opening lines, "Wasted all of this day, do it all again, same mistake," suggest a pattern of repeating past mistakes and a lack of willingness to learn from them. The reference to the 6th grade signifies a turning point or a moment of change in the singer's life.


The song delves into the internal conflict between outwardly pretending to be getting better while deep down knowing the reality is different. The line "This the only chance I got to get to the top" reflects the desperation to achieve success or reach one's goals despite the fear of falling back down. There is an underlying fear of not being able to stick around for long, hinting at a sense of mortality or the feeling that time is running out.


The chorus, "Now, I'm dyin' young, I'm dyin' young," repeats multiple times, emphasizing the premature sense of death or decay that the singer feels. The phrase "Devil's in the details" suggests that there might be unseen forces or underlying issues causing the singer's pain. The recurring plea for someone to yell or express their emotions can be seen as a cry for help or a desire for validation in their struggle.


The second verse shifts focus to a failed relationship or friendship, where the singer admits to not thinking about the other person for a long time and pretending to be okay. The mention of a knife in the back and a raven symbolizes betrayal and death, adding to the overall theme of darkness and despair. The acknowledgment of trauma suggests that the singer is using their music as a form of catharsis or therapy.
