Yeah
Union Youth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hit me like a broken child
Kiss me when I'm old
When I'm fallng in the sky
Tender me the tenderness
That I've found, lost and miss
Kiss me when I sleep oh please
It's such an amusement here
Yeah there's nothing
Yeah, there's something
Everyone is a lie
Kiss me like a broken child
Feel yourself at home
On my spider-eating stone
Tender me the tenderness
Damage what you do have missed
Leave me in my own
Suicide nasty bliss
Everyone is lost
The lyrics to Union Youth's song "Yeah" explore themes of deceit, longing for affection and pleasure, and a sense of dissociation. The repetition of the phrase "everyone is a lie" suggests a sense of distrust in the world around the singer, indicating that they may believe that people are not genuine or true to themselves. This connects to the image of being "hit like a broken child," which evokes a sense of pain or trauma that may have contributed to the singer's sense of isolation.
Despite this disconnect, there is a desire for comfort and affection, reflected in the lines "kiss me when I'm old" and "tender me the tenderness." However, this desire is complicated by the suggestion that the singer has lost something, perhaps a previous relationship or a sense of innocence. This is reinforced in the lines "feel yourself at home / on my spider-eating stone," which generate a sense of discomfort or unease.
The song ends on an ambiguous note, with the lines "leave me in my own / suicide nasty bliss / everyone is lost." This suggests that while the singer feels isolated, they may also have come to accept their sense of detachment and disconnection, finding a kind of strange pleasure in their own sense of despair.
