Youth
M3H/FOXES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dragons breathing fire in the backyard at night
We live in circles
And it's so hard to breathe
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
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 lyrics to M3H/FOXES's song "Youth" speak to the universal experience of growing up and grappling with the concept of time. The song begins with the singer reflecting on her younger days, feeling like she was running wild and encountering dragons in her backyard. The imagery of the dragon breathing fire represents the fears and anxieties that come with youth. As we grow up, we often find ourselves living in circles and struggling to breathe, navigating the same old fears and uncertainties that we encountered in our formative years.
The chorus of the song captures the essence of the lyrics, with the singer declaring that she is "just chasing time with a thousand dreams" while feeling the weight of the world on her shoulders. She is aware that time is slipping away, and that the "fading beats" of youth are slipping away with it. However, she remains hopeful and determined not to let her youth slip away entirely, declaring that "it's only just begun."
The second verse of the song speaks to the idea that we are all constantly changing and evolving as we move through life. The singer acknowledges that there are "many among us," and that we are all grappling with our own fears and uncertainties. She implores the listener not to bring her down with their own fears and doubts, as she is already struggling to hold on to her own sense of hope and optimism.
