Young Lore
Night Riots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

night drive, all of the lonely shadows pass through the city.
stand up, rival, don't keep pushing down our dream.
out here, where the skies are still open, i can barely breathe out.
small town, squeezing, i can barely breathe out, breathe out.
ohhh, ohhh. (woo) live now while you're young oh, we live in the feeling.
we live like we're dying.
we live like we're dying.
hold tight to each moment, we live in the feeling.
live now while you're young, oh, live now while you're young.
into the great unknown, although we make, although we make.
into the great unknown, although we make, although we make.
night drives, all of the lonely shadows pass through the city stand up, rival, don't keep pushing down our dream.
live now while you're young oh, we live in the feeling.
we live like we're dying.
we live like we're dying.
hold tight to each moment, we live in the feeling.
live now while you're young, oh, live now while you're young.
into the great unknown, although we make, although we make.
into the great unknown, although we make, although we make.
hold tight to each moment, we live in the feeling.
we live like we're dying, we live like we're dying.
hold tight to each moment, we live in the feeling.
live now while you're young, oh, live now while you're young.




hold tight to each moment, we live in the feeling.
live now while you're young, oh, live now while you're young.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Night Riots's "Young Lore" present a somber picture of an individual seeking freedom from the constraints and limitations of their small town. The opening lines of "night drive, all of the lonely shadows pass through the city" seem to indicate that the person is on a night drive through a city, seeking solitude and anonymity. The next lines, "stand up, rival, don't keep pushing down our dream," suggest that the person is trying to break free from the expectations and pressures of the people in their small town, who may not share their aspirations. As they venture further away from their hometown into the wider world, they struggle to breathe out and find their place.


The chorus emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment ("live now while you're young, oh") and cherishing every experience as it comes ("hold tight to each moment, we live in the feeling"). The repeated phrase "we live like we're dying" suggests a sense of urgency and a need to seize every opportunity while it lasts. The lines "into the great unknown, although we make, although we make" indicate that despite the fear of the unknown, they will continue to forge ahead, making their own path as they go.


Overall, "Young Lore" seems to be a song about the struggle for independence and the desire for personal growth and fulfillment. The lyrics reflect a restless, driven energy that encourages the listener to break free from their own limitations and take risks in pursuit of self-discovery.
