Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear your heart beat 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
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

Young hearts, out our minds
Runnin' till we outta time
Wild childs, lookin' good
Livin' hard just like we should
Don't care whose watching when we tearing it up (you know)
That magic that we got nobody can touch (for sure)

Looking for some trouble tonight (yeah)
Take my hand, I'll show you the wild side
Like it's the last night of our lives (uh huh)
We'll keep dancing till we die

I hear your heart beat 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
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die

Young hunks, taking shots
Stripping down to dirty socks
Music up, gettin' hot
Kiss me, give me all you've got
It's pretty obvious that you've got a crush (you know)
That magic in your pants, it's making me blush (for sure)

Looking for some trouble tonight (yeah)
Take my hand I'll show you the wild side
Like it's the last night of our lives (uh huh)
We'll keep dancing till we die (till we die)

I hear your heart beat 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 hear your heart beat 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
We're gonna die young




We're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young

Overall Meaning

Kesha's Die Young is a pop song that encourages living life to the fullest since life is too short. The chorus urges the listener to take advantage of the moment by living it up, taking risks, and living life to the fullest. The first verse speaks about the beat of the drums, indicating the feeling of being alive and present in the moment, while the second verse is about letting loose without a care in the world. The bridge of the song talks about taking action and going for it, and not caring about what others think or what the future holds. Kesha wants to live life to the fullest without any regrets.


The lyrics of the song are about carpe diem, taking chances, and living it up while one can. A "young heart," "wild child" who's "out of their mind," and "getting hot" all set the tone for the lyrics. While the lyrics may be viewed as unsuitable for younger audiences, it portrays a message of seizing the moment and not being afraid to have fun. It is a dance track that calls for people to forget about their problems and live in the present moment because none of us know how long we have.

FREE WILL , whence is it given, whence does it end?
GOD created us 1stly in SPIRIT then formed our flesh in our mothers wombs.
Free will starts on the day you born here and ends on the day you depart from here. it is not given nor found earlier, as earlier you didn`t exist.
earth is testing ground, as it has became lucifers kingdom.
testing ground for us, to show GOD whom amongst us shall be deceived by lucifer.
All the answers are pretty clear ones - aren´t these? - MANY are deceived and FEW are not.
None of us can`t drag free will beyond humans earthly life, as it is not earlier nor after found nor given.

Jeremiah 1:5 KJV Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

FREE WILL is given for the choices which are here on earth to make.
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Since making choices and being deceived takes place here on earth, free will does not go beyond human earthly lives.
