Youth
Yes/No Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just took a chance on a xan cause I got no
plans
For today or tomorrow
Spilling my sorrows
Counting my sins
Dreaming bout models and playing
Morrowind
Same game, same glitch
But my mouth stay stitched
Write another wrong
Then my brain gon' tick
Ticky-ticky time bomb
When the whirlwinds hit
Whirlwinds hit
When the Earth caves in
Will I have the words to reverse thy grip
Mama screaming at the world
Saying I’m addicted
Space coupe, hot girls
Got my mind drifting
Back up on my spliff shit
Man of few words like ellipsis
Reminiscing when I see the burn of her
Lipstick
Thinking I’m a bitch kid
Lonely and demented
I could wage war
Press my pain and rage more
But I can’t face these hoards
Embrace my sores
Just another feeling that’ll never be
Explored
I’ve been very bored, so very bored
I miss my Shady Shores
I can’t fail no more
I’m bleeding at my core cause
I could wage war
Feel my pain more
But I can’t face these hoards
Embrace my sores
Just another feeling that’ll never be
Explored
Mama, I don’t
Wanna be sober anymore
Mary Jane
Fly away, babe
Find a new maze
I’m stuck in a bad place
How tightly you’re grasping
I can’t see past my hate
Now I can’t feel on my face
Wait Wait Wait
I could wage war
Press my pain and rage more
But I can’t face these hoards
Embrace my sores
Just another feeling that’ll never be
Explored
I’ve been very bored, so very bored
I miss my Shady Shores
I can’t fail no more
I’m bleeding at my core cause
I could wage war
Feel my pain more
But I can’t face these hoards
Embrace my sores
Just another feeling that’ll never be
Explored
Mama, I don’t
Wanna be sober anymore
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be sober
Oh no no no
Oh no no no no




I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be sober
