Young Bloods
Port Noir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, are we sown like a weed? Still, no vaccine for it
We′re spread like a bad seed without a leash
Stack every wealth, piled our bodies rot
We're soaking down in the only light we′re graced by
We don't slack, we keep breathing still
Every time stepping like we don't try
We′re dead and loose, we better dose it up
We don′t bother to feel beyond our cigarettes

They move around in that war cage
The young bloods won't seek change
They swing around that tall tale
They move around like no one sees them
You don′t shine when you're bound this way
You don′t die when you move about like your ways
You're all the same and all I hear is
You don′t know anything about me

I ain't gonna bow like your housemaid, I won't side with it
I′ve been through enough crap so cut the chatter
We′ve dug ourselves deep and our pit reeks
Our body and mass, like a yeasty batter
We don't crack, we keep leeching still
Every time sticking to the same speech
We′re dead and loose, we better dose it up
Every time letting down

They move around in that war cage
The young bloods won't seek change
They swing around that tall tale
They move around like no one sees them
You don′t shine when you're bound this way
You don′t die when you move about like your ways
You're all the same and all I hear is
You don't know anything about me

We won′t shine on, won′t shine on
Because our beat is still standing dead
We don't hide it, can′t fight it
Because every beat still wears us out
You won't shine on, won′t shine on
When everybody keeps breaking down

They move around in that war cage
You don't know anything about me
They swing around that tall tale
You don′t know anything about me




You don't know anything about me
You don't know anything about me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Port Noir's "Young Bloods" appear to express feelings of frustration and disillusionment with society. The first stanza suggests a sense of hopelessness, with references to being sown like a weed and spread like a bad seed. The lines "Stack every wealth, piled our bodies rot" seem to refer to the accumulation of wealth at the expense of human lives, while the reference to soaking down in the only light suggests a sense of being trapped or confined.


The chorus speaks of the "young bloods" who are confined in a "war cage," seemingly unable or unwilling to seek change. The lines "You don't shine when you're bound this way" and "You don't die when you move about like your ways" suggest a sense of being stuck in one's ways or being unable to escape the confines of society. The sentiment is expressed that despite being all the same and not knowing anything about each other, they continue to move around like no one sees them.


The final stanza seems to be a call to action or rebellion against this sense of confinement. The lines "I ain't gonna bow like your housemaid, I won't side with it" suggest a refusal to conform to societal norms, and "We've dug ourselves deep and our pit reeks" seems to suggest a recognition of the problems within society. The final lines call for action, with the repeated refrain of "We won't shine on" expressing a sense of dissatisfaction with the status quo and a desire to break free.

You do not need to analyze style, resemblance or difference to other tunes albums or artists. You just feel it and like it with your heart. And this piece is an extraordinary one.
