Young & Dumb
Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wearing black lipstick, bleaching your hair blonde
Put on your socks
Cut-offs or jean shorts, vampire fangs
And your "I Love New York" shirt

Well, I know full well that you are
Patron saint of sucking cock
Señorita, you're a cheater
Well, so am I

You wanna go where the girls are young and dumb and hot as fuck
Where they're dancing in the streets with nothing on
We'll drive your car to the beach with the song on repeat you showed me
We'll drive your car to the beach with this song on repeat
Oh, baby

My heart is racing watching you kiss him
On my guitar
Faking a teardrop by spraying my eye with
That water gun

Well, I know full well that you are
Patron saint of sucking cock
Señorita, you're a cheater
Well, so am I

We wanna go where the girls are young and dumb and hot as fuck
Where they're dancing in the streets with nothing on
We'll drive your car to the beach with the song on repeat you showed me




We'll drive your car to the beach with this song on repeat
Oh, baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Young & Dumb" by Cigarettes After Sex tell a story of a couple who are cheating on each other, but they don't seem to care. The singer describes the appearance of his lover, who is wearing black lipstick and bleached hair. Then, he reveals their true nature as cheaters, calling the woman a "patron saint of sucking cock" and acknowledging his own infidelity. The chorus describes their desire to be in a place where young and attractive girls are easy to find, dancing in the streets with nothing on. They plan to drive to the beach with the song on repeat, implying this is a repetitive cycle of lust and promiscuity.


The lyrics are a commentary on youth culture, where the singer describes the desire to stay young and reckless, even if it means living a life of infidelity and chasing after the next thrill. The chorus suggests a longing for a time when they were carefree and could indulge in their carnal desires, without any consequences. The guitar and teardrop references in the second verse imply nostalgia, as if the singer is holding onto a memory of a better time before they became jaded.

Did someone else noticed? They don't make music videos. Their lyrics are enough. Their lyrics are enough to paint the picture in your brain with your lover. Absolutely scintillating of a concept.

Literally

@theotherside3517

Yes!

I visualise the protagonist walking through a wild spring break street party, the camera pointing at his face... the whole scene in slow motion, him undistracted by the scantily clad dancing college girls... as he is reminiscing the times he had with his now former Chilean girlfriend...
