Magnolia
Gang of Youths Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quit honking your horns
There's five other lanes
And I'm King of them all
Faster than light
With my fists in the air
If my body's alive
Then my soul's unaware
In braving the last of

This Terrible wine
I've savoured the last
And I've kissed it goodbye
And there's no kind of right way
To do what I'll do
But I'm king of the earth
With impossible blood
On this 3rd of June

Hold on officer I know
That I'm a danger to myself
And it shows
Cause I'm on the other side of the law

[Chorus]
There's no way tonight
As far as I know
That heaven will take me
So I'm staggering home
Show me the way
Ah, Show me the light
Hey, I'm drunk, but I'm ready
To kick some ass tonight

Still honking those horns?
Yeah, just drive around
'Cause your all being ignored
Deadpan and bright
As I flip you the bird
I'm a pain in the ass
Yeah I'm a real piece of work
Just waving my arms like
Some terrible mime
And shaking my ass
'Til they kiss it goodbye

Just show me the right things
That I didn't do
Oh, enlighten me now
With impossible love
From the former you

Just tell everyone I know
What I did I did for us
And in haste
Cause I'm terrified of dying in vain

[Chorus]
There's no way tonight
As far as I know
That heaven will take me
So I'm staggering home
Wretched and wild
All glory and trash
Yeah, I'm drunk but I'm ready
To kick some fuckin' ass

There's no way tonight
As far as I know
That heaven will take me
So I'm staggering home
Show me the way
Ah, show me the light
Yeah, I'm drunk but I'm ready
To kick some ass tonight

There's no way tonight
As far as I know
That heaven will take me
So I'm staggering home
Fire of my loins
Ah, light of my life

We're vastly outnumbered
Every motherfucking time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gang of Youths’ Magnolia tell a story of a man who is reckless and drunk, with a disregard for the rules and laws of the world. The first verse establishes his dominance over the road, claiming that he is the king of all five lanes and moving at a speed faster than light itself. He has fists in the air, seemingly living in the moment and carefree, yet his soul is described as unaware. The man then declares that he has savoured the last sip of “terrible” wine, seemingly saying goodbye to something in his life. He admits that there is no right way to do what he is about to do, yet he is king of the earth with “impossible blood” on this third of June. The following verse speaks of someone who has been caught by an officer, conceding that he knows he is a danger to himself, putting his life at risk. The chorus, “There’s no way tonight as far as I know that heaven will take me” gives us a sense of the man’s desperation in life as he stumbles home, ready to kick some “fuckin’ ass”.

The song’s lyrics are incredibly introspective, and they give us an insight into the man's personal struggles. His behavior is that of someone who is desperately holding on, for whatever reason. The first verse may be interpreted as a man who is trying to outrun his demons, but has no idea how to confront them. The chorus could be seen as the man’s realization of the futility in trying to make it right and finding redemption for his wrongdoings. The way he says he is “vastly outnumbered every motherfucking time” is a reference to his ongoing battles, with either his inner demons or the world around him.

Line by Line Meaning

Quit honking your horns
Stop trying to grab my attention

There's five other lanes
There are other people who can serve your needs

And I'm King of them all
I'm the best at what I do

Faster than light
I'm quick and efficient

With my fists in the air
I'm ready to fight for what I want

If my body's alive
If I'm still breathing

Then my soul's unaware
I'm disconnected from my inner self

In braving the last of This Terrible wine
I'm facing the end of a difficult situation

I've savoured the last
I'm enjoying the final moments

And I've kissed it goodbye
I'm ready to move on

And there's no kind of right way
There's no perfect way

To do what I'll do
To achieve my goals

But I'm king of the earth
I'm in control of my life

With impossible blood
With an exceptional spirit

On this 3rd of June
On this particular day

Hold on officer I know
Wait, I understand

That I'm a danger to myself
That I'm doing something risky

And it shows
It's obvious to everyone

Cause I'm on the other side of the law
Because I'm breaking the rules

There's no way tonight
It's not possible tonight

As far as I know
To the best of my knowledge

That heaven will take me
That I'm worthy of Gods love

So I'm staggering home
I'm heading home after a wild night

Show me the way
Guide me to my destination

Ah, Show me the light
Enlighten me

Hey, I'm drunk, but I'm ready
Although I'm drunk, I'm still prepared

To kick some ass tonight
To fight and win tonight

Still honking those horns?
Are you still trying to get my attention?

Yeah, just drive around
If you can't beat me, then go around me

Cause your all being ignored
I'm choosing to ignore you

Deadpan and bright
I'm serious and alert

As I flip you the bird
As I gesture rudely

I'm a pain in the ass
I'm difficult to deal with

Yeah I'm a real piece of work
I'm a unique personality

Just waving my arms like
Just moving around carelessly

Some terrible mime
Like a bad stage actor

And shaking my ass
And dancing silly

'Til they kiss it goodbye
Until it's time for me to leave

Just show me the right things
Just tell me what I'm doing wrong

That I didn't do
That I should have done differently

Oh, enlighten me now
Please give me some insight

With impossible love
With the strongest love

From the former you
From the person you used to be

Just tell everyone I know
Tell anyone who asks

What I did I did for us
That I did everything for our benefit

And in haste
I did it quickly

Cause I'm terrified of dying in vain
Because I don't want to waste my life

Wretched and wild
Sick and crazy

All glory and trash
I'm capable of great things yet still a mess

Fire of my loins
The strongest desire

Ah, light of my life
The person who brings me joy

We're vastly outnumbered
We're fighting a losing battle

Every motherfucking time
Every damn time

Being someone who was suicidal in the past man it's so fucking cool to see what you've turned those feelings into. And to anybody struggling fight on for yourself and those you care about. Big ups from some guy vibing in Washington 😘✌

@greymase

I met Dave (and Joji) at their show at Mercury Lounge in NYC. I approached him, despite not being THAT kind of guy. I had to tell him, "Your art has improved my time on Earth, and I have been struggling for months with my first true heartache at 50....and this kept me sane." I wasn't suicidal - but mostly because I have a kid. Dave was SO nice and embraced me, tore up his shirt and showed me the related tattoo, and told me that's what it was about and he related. These guys are all FOR REAL. Max, Donnie, Joon. They are SUCH nice guys. And I cannot speak for them, but I want you to know, their response would not be that you are "just some guy in Washington". Stick with it. No permanent solutions to temporary problems. Hit me up if it feels like it would help. Big empathetic hug.

This band, I discovered them right after I was heavily suicidal two years ago. Listening to their music through the first year of college, allowed me to heal and process emotions that were still spent up from my mental health journey.

Man I love these guys, glad to see them on Aussie soil again.

Am I allowed to think that he is the new Mick Hutchence *just saw him opening for Chris Cornell in Perth, love the voice instantly..thank you for delivered such wonderful tunes-The Book Of Love was amazing, Peter Gabriel would be proud that someone sang it beautifully that nights

@tja2675

8y↑1

I thought the same thing when I saw him support Cornell in Brisbane. After seeing the whole band in April, I'm convinced he's the best frontman an Aussie band has had since Hutchence. He has such charisma on stage. They are a brilliant band and I hope they go onto even greater things

I am applying for my masters degree, I have over 20 tabs open, books all over my desk, 3 sources to study from and writing my thesis and statement at the same time. My mind is trying to grasp the fear of the future, leaving everything, the "what if's" the regret and reality of trying to stay in the moment to study all this. Somehow I came to this video (I saw their cover of middle east blood and just had to look into them) I am so awestruck by this.
For 5 minutes, I listened to this beautiful tune and his powerful voice, I just stared at this very lovable guy doing his goofy dancing that for some reason seemed to have a more profound meaning like masking some really deep sadness and anger (which I guess is the message of the song). For 5 minutes I just put this in fullscreen and just stared at my screen and quite simply started thinking of the beauty in life, I forgot everything and at the same time seemed to see everything as well, it was fucking beautiful I love this!!!!! Any other recommendations from this band? I have just discovered them and i am already a big fan of David Leaupepe :O [i know this is a rly pretentious comment and it's like chill, but i'm in a really deep place rn lol]
Greetings from Palestine, have a great day all :)

Tell everyone I know, what I did I did for us, and in haste, because I’m terrified of dying in vain….

I struggle to think of a more beautiful, powerful and gut wrenching lyric. It breaks my heart every time I hear it, because I remember that feeling. The pit of despair that leads you to believe they’d be better off without you.

I’m grateful to you and your music. You helped me.
