Die Young Live Forever
We the Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna feel your everything
I want it more than the same routine
We both know we've gone too far again
I wanna hear your every breath
All you secrets laid to rest
We both know it never has to end

'Cause we could make the same mistakes
We could turn and run away

Don't let go
I'll never let you be alone
Tonight we're gonna get high or fall together
Die young or live forever
Don't let go
I'll love you till our hearts go cold
Tonight we're gonna get high or fall together
Die young or live forever

Young love don't mean a thing
With eyes wide we live our dreams
They don't know it's not the way it seems
We live fast until the crash
Leave here we won't look back
They don't know, they think it's meant to last

'Cause we could make the same mistakes
We could turn and run away

Don't let go
I'll never let you be alone
Tonight we're gonna get high or fall together
Die young or live forever
Don't let go
I'll love you till our hearts go cold
Tonight we're gonna get high or fall together
Die young or live forever

Woah
You know that we're the same, no need to know our names
Woah
We'll live and die through the eyes of a runaway
Woah
You know they'll never change
They will forget our names

Don't let go
I'll never let you be alone
Tonight we're gonna get high or fall together
Die young or live forever
Don't let go
I'll love you till our hearts go cold




Tonight we're gonna get high or fall together
Die young or live forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to We the Kings’s song Die Young Live Forever express the desire to live in the moment and to experience all that life has to offer, without fear of consequences or a concern for the future. The singer is in love with someone and wants to experience everything with them, including their intimate secrets and desires. They both know they have gone too far in their relationship, but they are willing to live on the edge and take risks. The chorus repeats the phrase “Don’t let go” multiple times, emphasizing the idea that they will stick together, no matter what.


The second verse of the song suggests that their love is not like the typical cliché version of it. Instead, they have chosen to live their dreams with their eyes wide open, fully aware that they are taking risks. They want to live life fast, and if it ends in a crash, they don’t want to look back. They both know that the people in their lives don't understand their choices and think they are just being foolish.


The bridge of the song states that people may not understand their choices, but that doesn't matter because they will live and die through the eyes of a runaway. They will be forgotten by others, but it doesn't deter them from pursuing their goals.


Overall, the song is about seizing the moment with the people you love, living life on your own terms, and taking all the risks that come with living life fast and furious.
