Youth
Foxes (M3 H Trap Remix) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was running wild
The dragons breathing fire
In the backyard at night
We live in circles
And it's so hard to breathe
Maybe the same old fears
Don't bring me down
With you
Now I'm just chasing time
With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy
And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed
Don't tell me our youth is running out
It's only just begun
If I asked you for good news
Would you smile and turn away?
It's like a bad dream
That is too afraid to wake
There are many among us
And we're changing all the time
Maybe the same old fears
What have we here?
Don't bring me down
With you
Now I'm just chasing time
With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy
And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed
Don't tell me our youth is running out
It's only just begun
These fading beats
These fading beats
Now I'm just chasing time
With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy
And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed
Don't tell me our youth is running out
It's only just begun
These fading beats
A thousand dreams
These fading beats
A thousand dreams
It's only just begun
The song "Youth" by Foxes (M3 H Trap Remix) is a nostalgic and introspective reflection of the singer's past and present. The opening lyrics, "They didn't warn me / When I was running wild / The dragons breathing fire / In the backyard at night," bring back memories of youthful innocence and carefree adventures that were unmarred by apprehension and fear. But as the song progresses, the singer acknowledges the difficulties of living in a world that seems to suffocate and constrain our dreams and aspirations.
"We live in circles / And it's so hard to breathe / Maybe the same old fears / What have we here?" suggests that the singer is grappling with disillusionment and anxiety that come with growing up and realizing that life is not as straightforward as it seemed. The chorus, "Don't tell me our youth is running out / It's only just begun," asserts the singer's belief that despite the hardships and setbacks, there is still hope for a better future.
The final line, "These fading beats / A thousand dreams / It's only just begun," encapsulates the theme of the song - that our youth may be fleeting, but our dreams and aspirations are what keep us alive and moving forward despite the odds.
Overall, "Youth" is a poignant and reflective song that captures the essence of growing up and embracing adulthood while holding onto the memories and dreams of the past.

They didn't warn me
I wasn't warned
When I was running wild
When I was free and reckless
The dragons breathing fire
The challenges that seem insurmountable
In the backyard at night
Lurking in the shadows where I was alone and uncertain
We live in circles
We repeat the same patterns
And it's so hard to breathe
It's suffocating
Maybe the same old fears
Perhaps it's the usual worries
What have we here?
What is happening?
Don't bring me down
Don't drag me down with you
With you
In your negativity
Now I'm just chasing time
I'm trying to catch up with time and make the most of it
With a thousand dreams I'm holding heavy
With numerous aspirations, which are weighing me down
And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severed
As we move forward, we're leaving behind the things that once mattered
Don't tell me our youth is running out
Don't say that we're already old or past our prime
It's only just begun
We still have so much to experience
If I asked you for good news
If I request positive news
Would you smile and turn away?
Would you avoid answering or being honest?
It's like a bad dream
It feels like an unpleasant nightmare
That is too afraid to wake
That I'm scared to confront or fix
There are many among us
There are many like us
And we're changing all the time
And we're constantly evolving
These fading beats
These diminishing heartbeats
A thousand dreams
Many aspirations
