Youth
Gryffin Troye Sivan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if, what if we left today?
What if we said goodbye to safe and sound?
And what if, what if we're hard to find?
What if, what if we lost our minds?
What if we let them fall behind and they're never found?
And when the lights start flashing like a photobooth
My youth, my youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth, my youth is yours
Runaway now and forevermore
My youth, my youth is yours
A truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
My youth is yours
My youth is yours
My youth is yours
What if, what if we start to drive?
What if, what if we close our eyes?
What if we're speeding through red lights into paradise?
'Cause we've no time for getting old
Mortal body, timeless souls
Cross your fingers, here we go
Oh oh oh oh
And when the lights start flashing like a photobooth
And when the lights start flashing, flashing, flashing
And when the lights start flashing
My youth, my youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth, my youth is yours
Runaway now and forevermore
My youth, my youth is yours
A truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours
My youth is yours
My youth is yours
My youth is yours
The lyrics of YOUTH by Gryffin and Troye Sivan touch on themes of youth, freedom, and living in the moment. The song begins with the question, "What if we run away?" The idea of running away suggests a desire to escape from the norm and take off towards something new and unknown. The following lines, "What if we said goodbye to safe and sound? And what if, what if we're hard to find?" imply a sense of recklessness that comes along with the desire for adventure - the willingness to leave behind safety and the familiar in order to take a chance.
As the song continues, the chorus repeats the message that the singers' youth belongs to them. They're "trippin' on skies" and "sippin' waterfalls," enjoying the freedom that comes along with being young, wild, and unattached. The lines, "A truth so loud you can't ignore, My youth, my youth, my youth, My youth is yours" suggest that the group is not only enjoying their youth, but also taking ownership of it. They're living life on their own terms and it's a powerful and undeniable experience.
The song comes to a close with the line "My youth is yours," repeated several times. It's a poignant message that encapsulates the idea that while youth is fleeting, the memories created during that time are powerful and can last a lifetime. The song's call to adventure and its celebration of living in the moment make it an anthem for anyone seeking to break free from the constraints of societal expectations and embrace the freedom of youth.
