Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody get down like that
If you like it then make it clap
If you like it then make it clap
Turn it up, break loose skill out
We are young, don't tell us how
We should go on living now
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Hey!
Are you ready cause it's time that we
Together we can find a way to be free
From Japan to Germany
Cause We Are Young!
Look ahead, don't give up when it's rough
Listen up to what I say
Hey!
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Sleep all day, stay up all night
Think that we can start a fight
Watch the full moon start to rise
Disappear in the morning eyes
Everybody get down like that
Everybody get down like that
If you like it then make it clap
If you like it then make it clap
Hey!
Are you ready cause it's time that we
Together we can find a way to be free
From Japan to Germany
Cause We Are Young!
Cause We Are Young!
Cause We Are Young!
Cause We Are Young!
Look ahead, don't give up when it's rough
Listen up to what I say
Hey!
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh
To the left, to the left
To the right, to the right
In the middle, in the middle
All together now
Wake me up, wake me up
Wake me up and watch me go
Wake me up, wake me up
Wake me up and watch me go
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh (Hey!)
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh (Cause We Are Young!)
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh (Hey!)
Oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh (Cause We Are Young!)
The main theme of the song “We Are Young” by Vassy is the idea of living life to the fullest while you are still young. The lyrics suggest that now is the time to break free from rules and conventions, to enjoy life, to dance and to be free. The repeated line “everybody get down like that, if you like it then make it clap” is a clear call to “let loose” and have fun. The lyrics encourage the listener to turn up the music, break free from social expectations, and live life according to their own rules. The song amplifies the idea of being young, without worries, and makes the call to action towards living life to the fullest.
The chorus of the song is represented by the words “Hey! Are you ready cause it's time that we, Together we can find a way to be free, From Japan to Germany, Cause We Are Young!” The lyrics suggest that regardless of where you come from or what language you speak, the song is meant to promote unity and a spirit of togetherness. The song tries to emphasize that youth has no barriers and it is the beauty of life that we can all share. The lyrics are motivational and promote the idea of being ‘present in the moment’ and taking advantage of everything that life has to offer.

Vassy you are awesome! I've been a fan of yours now probably a year and a half. I first saw you on Tay Zonday's song "Running from the Concrete" and you were awesome in it! Since then I've come back and listened to your songs over this past year...haven't always commented lol I was so into the music I guess. Keep on keeping on! You are doing incredible. This song is celebrity quality no doubt. You are awesome and yes we are young! =) Good luck to you and your life endeavors! =)
