Continuum
Young & Sick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it gets harder and harder
To breathe
Here
And keep from drowning.
I'm drowning here.
Please keep the faith
Feed me light and keep me brave.
Don't let me go, keep what you own;
Eternal love is on its way.
Please never change a thing, it's true:
The way I found ya is the way I'll have ya,
Won't let you go, your blood I own.
Eternal light is on its way.
I'll wait, my love
But it gets harder and harder
To breathe here
And keep from drowning.
I'm drowning here.
Dreams diamonds ghosts & memories
I keep them close for emergencies
Let's never give up on this bliss
Eternal flames, eternal mist.
To be continuum
Always, forever
Ain't long enough but
I'll wait my love
But it gets harder and harder
To breathe here
And keep from drowning
I'm drowning now
I'll wait my love
But it gets harder and harder
To breathe in
And keep from drowning.
The lyrics of Continuum by Young & Sick speak of waiting for eternal love and the struggles to keep it alive. The opening line sets the tone for the song as the singer confesses to waiting for their love, but the act of waiting is becoming increasingly difficult. The struggle is revealed in the subsequent lines when the singer laments about not being able to breathe and the constant feeling of drowning. The repetition of these lines adds weight to the singer's desperation to hold on to their love despite the challenges to their relationship.
In the second verse, the singer urges their partner to keep the faith and hold on to the love they share. The idea of eternal love is emphasized as the singer pleads with their partner not to change a thing about the way they love each other. The use of the phrase "your blood I own" may be seen as extreme, but it shows the lover's deep devotion and possessiveness towards their partner. The third verse speaks of the singer's willingness to hold on to their love and keep their dreams, memories, and ghosts alive. They end the song by expressing the desire to be a continuum and waiting for their love, even though it's becoming harder and harder to breathe and avoid drowning.

I've been listening to Y&$ since I was in middle school. It's sad seeing so little comments on such a great song with so much emotion. I wish I could see them live. Why is this band so unnoticed? It's just a damn shame...

I heard them on FashionTV. They were the backup song for Viktor and Rolf's show with ballet dancers.
I was in love with the song within a second, and I'm so happy 'cause I found it. Yay! ^^
