To the beat of the drums
Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you're here in my arms,
Let's make the most of the night
Like we're gonna die young
I don't want to be dying on that winter solstice
But I know they gave a clue, like they killing Hostes s
Drop it when we get it,
Oh you know we got the most is
Get it when I'm freeing here
Knowing that I said again
When the world ends
We will be rocking out that R.E.M
If you pass the noise,
Won't you blast the noise
I'm fucking old school playing like those asteroids
Everything you're looking at
And you know I try the truth
And i've been killing bitches while I'm rocking in this booth
You know I'm trying
Dying

Looking up motherfucker, hope I don't die

Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you're here in my arms, let's make the most of the night

Telling you where you go know you got the sorrow
Hang around forever like the day after tomorrow

So while you're here in my arms, let's make the most of the night
Like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
The lyrics of the song "Die Young" by Ke$ha are about seizing the moment and living life to the fullest. The singer hears the heartbeats of someone they are attracted to and wishes to make the most of their time together, even though the object of their affection arrived with someone else. The chorus repeats the phrase "like we're gonna die young," emphasizing the idea that life is short and should be enjoyed while it lasts.
The verses are more abstract and seem to reference a range of pop culture phenomena, from Harry Potter to War of the Worlds. The lyrics evoke a sense of urgency, as if the singer is trying to cram as much experience and knowledge as possible into their short time on earth. The song's meaning is ultimately up to interpretation, but the listener is left with the sense that life is fleeting and valuable.
