Confiscate My Youth
Ragamuffs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't make sense
That we age to die with regrets I can't take it
Believe what I'm saying
There's no turning back
It's the fact that the reaper is creeping on your back she said
Confiscate my youth but I'll leave it up to you
I'm not over this pretending
And I IIIII don't wanna jump the gun again
And the winds will pick up speed, then I'll admit to some degree
You're tuning down like it's the ending, and I'm anti-condescending
And I IIIII 'fuse to behave in my defense
Because at times we're
Trapped in our drive
Forget how to walk
As we take our strides
Pick up the pace
Neglect to create
Consumed by the rules
We try to abide
Millennials counting rings around the oak
We're growing up too fast to face it
Let's evaluate it
Believe what I'm saying my eyes are open wide
Deep inside there's a reaper that's hitching for a ride she said
Confiscate my youth but I'll leave it up to you
Don't pull the trigger I'm not ready
I'm not over this pretending
And I IIIII don't wanna jump the gun again
And the winds will pick up speed, then I'll admit to some degree
You're tuning down like it's the ending, and I'm anti-condescending
And I IIIII 'fuse to behave in my defense
Because at times we're
Trapped in our drive
Forget how to walk
As we take our strides
Pick up the pace
Neglect to create
Consumed by the rules
We try to abide
Oooooh
Because at times we're
Trapped in our drive
Forget how to walk
As we take our strides
Pick up the pace
Neglect to create
Consumed by the rules
We try to abide
In "Confiscate My Youth," Ragamuffs explores the concept of growing up too fast and being consumed by the pressures and expectations of society. The song reflects on the consequences of losing one's youth and the fear of regretting choices made later on in life. The lyrics suggest that there is a reaper looming closely in the background, emphasizing the idea of the shortness and fragility of life.
The chorus of the song, "Confiscate my youth but I'll leave it up to you, don't pull the trigger, I'm not ready," suggests a fear of losing control and growing up too fast. The repetition of "I'm not ready" emphasizes the idea of not being prepared for adulthood or the responsibilities that come with it. The line, "And I don't wanna jump the gun again" refers to past experiences of making hasty decisions and wanting to avoid making similar mistakes in the future.
The verse, "Millennials counting rings around the oak, we're growing up too fast to face it, let's evaluate it," highlights the idea that younger generations are maturing at an alarmingly fast pace and perhaps not taking the time to reflect on their choices. The repetition of "let's evaluate it" serves as a call to action to slow down and reassess what is truly important in life.
Overall, the song serves as a reminder to cherish one's youth and not rush into adulthood without careful consideration and reflection.

Yesterday's adolescence
Looking back at our teenage years
It doesn't make sense
We don't understand how we ended up where we are now
That we age to die with regrets I can't take it
The thought of dying without fulfilling our dreams and potential is unbearable
Believe what I'm saying
This is the truth, don't doubt it
There's no turning back
We can't change the past, only the future
It's the fact that the reaper is creeping on your back she said
Death is always looming and we need to make the most of our time
Confiscate my youth but I'll leave it up to you
Take away my youth and energy but I won't resist
Don't pull the trigger I'm not ready
I'm not ready to die yet
I'm not over this pretending
I'm not done living my life yet
And I IIIII don't wanna jump the gun again
I don't want to rush or make hasty decisions
And the winds will pick up speed, then I'll admit to some degree
When things get tough, I'll acknowledge that it's difficult
You're tuning down like it's the ending, and I'm anti-condescending
You're giving up and I won't patronize you for it
And I IIIII 'fuse to behave in my defense
I won't let fear hold me back
Because at times we're Trapped in our drive
Sometimes our ambition and goals can hold us back
Forget how to walk As we take our strides
We forget to enjoy the journey while focusing on the destination
Pick up the pace Neglect to create
We prioritize productivity over creativity
Consumed by the rules We try to abide
We're so focused on following the rules that we forget to think for ourselves
Millennials counting rings around the oak
A metaphor for the young generation aging too quickly
We're growing up too fast to face it
We're aging faster than we can handle
Let's evaluate it
We need to pause and reflect on our lives
Believe what I'm saying my eyes are open wide
I'm aware of what's going on and speaking the truth
Deep inside there's a reaper that's hitching for a ride she said
Death is always there and we need to be prepared for it
Oooooh

Top notch aesthetic, editing and direction. On another note, the thing I like most about your music is how you guys weave into each other with your guitar and singing parts. It's kinda like skating down a road during golden hour, winding through the reflectors in the road.
