Stay Alive
I've never seen you before
You knew I wanted more
I can't wait anymore
Tell me, girl, what are we waiting

(Jo bro. Ich warte wieder jeden Tag, dass sie mir zurück schreibt, Mann)
(Ich weiß, es bringt nichts danach zu Chasen)
(Aber du kennst mich)
(Ich kann einfach nicht anders)
Kam mir so krank vor jeden Tag
Nehme Tabletten gegen Angst
Wieder eine Lüge, was du sagst
Am Ende kommst du wieder an
I've never seen you before
You knew I wanted more
I can't wait anymore
Tell me, girl, what are we waiting

The lyrics of "We Are Young" by The Ghost and Swift Moths tell the story of young people gathering on Halloween night in a parking lot filled with vampires who are dressed to impress. The scene is described as being set on a cold, dark night with the music playing inside "coffins made of gold" where their friends and lovers who have recently died were buried. It's a surreal and eerie setting that seems to be right out of a gothic fiction story.
The main part of the story centers around the interaction between the singer and a woman who is described as being beautiful, enigmatic, and possibly even supernatural. She is wearing a white dress with no eyes, and the man is dressed in a black suit with a red devil bow tie. They dance the night away, and the man is entranced by her beauty. She tells him that he'll never know when the haunting is over until he lets her go. It's unclear whether she's a ghost or something else entirely, but he seems to be searching for her endlessly.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a Halloween party that is equal parts spooky and romantic, with an air of mystery and otherworldliness. The song has a dreamlike quality that perfectly captures the feeling of being caught up in the magic of the moment.

It's a cold dark night
The night is chilly and black
Hallows Eve upon the crest
It's Halloween, and everything is spooky and mysterious
In a parking lot of vampires
The place is full of bloodsuckers
(In suits to look their best).
They dress up nicely to show off
And the music
There is music playing
In these coffins made of gold
People are partying in fancy cars
With friends and lovers freshly buried
The attendees have lost their dear ones recently
Her beauty washes over me
She looks stunning
So let us hide and we'll dance the night away
Let's have a good time and forget our problems
Kiss the rise of the sun then we'll melt away
Let's enjoy the night and leave when the morning comes
That who we are:
This is our identity
Always searching,
We're constantly seeking
Always searching for you.
We're constantly looking for the one we love
In a white dress with no eyes
She wears a white dress, and her eyes are not visible
Black suit, red devil bow tie
He wears a black suit and a red bow tie, which represents evil
The King and Queen are crowned Victorian
They assume traditional roles and titles
"Is this the last of our haunting?"
They wonder if they will ever escape their past
She says as she floats like an angel
She speaks softly and gracefully
"You will never know until you let me go, I'm hoping this will never end."
She suggests that they need to let go of their fear and enjoy the present moment

I thought Snowfur was Snowkit for a second lol
But Snowkit's death was kinda brutal.
!!SPOILERS!!
Why did Erin have to make the poor kit die to a hawk? I don't think it's fair to have one of the cats die that young tbh
@lyfe_sux7628
Here's some that deserve at least an honorable mention:
Onestar, Darktail, and Bristlefrost: All drowned (cruel because of the excruciating pain of not having any air in your lungs)
Flametail: Not only did he drown, but also FROZE TO DEATH.
Mosskit: Froze
Fluttering Bird: Starved
Bramblestar (first life): Froze while suffering from sickness (infection or greencough, cant remember which :/ )
Hawkfrost (I KNOW THAT HES ALREADY MENTIONED! But from what I saw it was talking about his spirit death, but I could be wrong. Dont harass me :| ) : Throat was tore open by a fox trap
I know a lot of these are either drowned or froze, but in my opinion either way is very brutal.

While rereading the books, I never noticed Smokepaws death until just recently.
SPOILERS IN THE NEW PROPHECY!!
Smokepaw was with the four clans in the Great Journey, but while trekking up the mountain (the place where the Tribe lives), he slipped and fell. No cat saw how exactly he died, whether he was impaled by a spike or just fell to his death, because the cats were so high up you couldn't see the bottom. Honestly, I prefer thinking he fell to his death instead of being impaled because that just sounds painful.
@spiritfoxcoco
Sootfur has one of the most disturbing deaths in my opinion, both his legs were broken and then he tried to climb a rock wall to safety but instead he fell and got killed by a badger
@user-eu4hd3bt2f
Yeah, his death was the one of the worst.
@robinfrutchey561
Agreed
@Yanfei0001
I cried on the bit

Swiftpaw’s death still haunts me to this day. Bluestar refused to name him a warrior because fireheart told him to go get other warriors to fight riverclan, because he was the fastest. So she thought that he “wasn’t good enough” and he remained an apprentice while others were getting their warrior name. So he went and fought dogs with brightheart to prove that he was worthy. It’s obvious that the dogs probably murdered him in a very brutal way considering brightheart has really big scars. Longtail was then really angry at fireheart for telling his apprentice that he should go get help. He really didn’t deserve it.
@valah24
❤ we will all miss SwiftPaw, I was looking forward to leaning his warrior name, 😢 I think we can all agree he earned his name in this video, 𓃠
@RowanChisel
He died a noble death,saving one of his friends.He will never be forgotten,as I wish Bluestar would've given him his warrior name.
@PonikoRoblox
In the books i remind they describes swiftpaw's body with huge teeth marks on its whole body, and that It was mauled and ripped off like prey.
