Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

saw her standing on the corner (Yip yip boom)
A yellow ribbon in her hair (Yip yip boom)
I couldn't stop myself from calling
Well look a-there, look a-there
Wow look a-there, well look a-there
Young blood, young blood, young blood
I can't get you out of my mind
I took one look and I was fractured (Yip yip boom)
I tried to walk but I was lame (Yip yip boom)
I tried to talk but I just stuttered
Well what's your name, what's your name
Well what's your name, well what's your name
Young blood, ah young blood, young blood
I can't get you out of my mind

A crazy stop, she was the top
I tried to follow her all the way home
Things went bad, I met her dad
He said, "You'd better leave my daughter alone"
Ow!

Well I tried to speak but I just stuttered (Yip yip boom)
I saw the rising of the sun (Yip yip boom)
And all along my heart was falling
While you're the one, you're the one
While you're the one, ah you're the one
Young blood, oh young blood, yeah young blood
I can't get you out of my mind




Yeah young blood, oh young blood, yeah young blood
I can't get you out of my mind.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Beatles' song "Youngblood" tell the story of a young man who becomes enamored with a girl he sees standing on a street corner. The girl has a yellow ribbon in her hair and captures the young man's attention immediately. He finds himself unable to resist calling out to her and introducing himself. He is immediately tongue-tied, unable to speak or walk properly in her presence.


Despite his awkwardness, the young man continues to pursue the girl, following her home to meet her father. However, her father makes it clear that he is not welcome in their lives, and the young man is forced to leave without getting what he wants. Throughout the song, the young man sings about his longing for the girl and his inability to forget her.

theres still a lot of people that ddnt get the meaning of the video

the pill they took was a drug to kill themselves. its common for people in their old age to consider death. its not a magical thing that makes them young nor teleports them in the past

before anyone saying, "they may still have years to live." just consider that at old age, their body starts failing. hearing loss. bad sight. mind starts to detoriate. the couple were lucky they can still decides for themselves.

after the couple said, "lets enjoy our remaining time." the video went to their younger self. its just a visual representation on their memories when they are reminiscing together while waiting for the drug to work, hence the 24hour timer on the guy's watch.

youngblood. probably the most fun and exciting time and a special part of their life. meeting each other, fell in love and being just a total badass.

the last part where the two young couple leans on each other as the timer went to zero signifies that the two old couple dies.

its quite sad but really its just life



@jamessum4149

Actually, he said,


"Let's have fun for 14 hours"


and she then responded with:
"Let's have fun" [LITERAL TRANSLATION]
(In English it would have been "Yes, let's have fun.")


But whatever you were close enough

Remember the words you told me, love me 'til the day I die
Surrender my everything 'cause you made me believe you're mine
Yeah, you used to call me baby, now you calling me by name
Takes one to know one, yeah
You beat me at my own damn game
You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take
Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life
And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh
Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Back in your life
So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh
Lately our conversations end like it's the last goodbye
Yeah, one of us gets too drunk and calls about a hundred times
So who you been calling, baby, nobody could take my place
When you're looking at those strangers, hope to God you see my face
Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life
And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it
All of the time
Yeah, ooh ooh ooh
Youngblood

Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take
You're running around and I'm running away
Running away from you, from you
Youngblood
Say you want me
