Invincible
The Dirty Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've lost yourself,
Stern emotions on the shelf
In your absence,
I've changed my ways
I won't lie to you, lie to you, lie to you.
Can't stop my world 'cause it keeps turning
Here's to you.
Shout out,
It won't be alright
You know that you are invincible tonight
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you please don't let go,
Let go of me.
Don't say you understand me,
You've never been there,
Discuss behind my back how you can't take no more
In your absence,
I've changed my ways
I won't lie for you, lie for you, lie for you.
Can't stop my world 'cause it keeps turning
I've lost my faith in everything you are
Here's to you.
Shout out,
It won't be alright
You know that you are invincible tonight
I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging you please don't let go,
Let go of me.

Whoa.

The Dirty Youth’s song Invincible is about a person who has lost themselves and is no longer the same person that the singer knew. The singer has changed their ways in the absence of the person and won’t lie for or to them anymore. The song is scattered with the idea of invincibility, indicating that the person may be acting invincible as a defense mechanism for their loss of self. The singer, however, is vulnerable and is begging for them not to let go of them.
The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship where one person has changed, and the other is struggling to hold onto the person they once knew. The line “can’t stop my world ‘cause it keeps turning” suggests that the singer is moving forward with their life despite the other person’s absence. However, they still care for the person and are begging for their attention, as shown with the line “I’m down on my knees, I’m begging you please don’t let go.”
Overall, Invincible is a song about the impact of changing relationships and trying to hold onto the people we care about.
