Originally beginning as a solo project by guitarist/vocalist Tyler Zanon in 2013 under the name Bedroom Talk, Tyler recruited member Cody Muraro to guest on the debut song “Grinding Teeth”. The chemistry worked out in a positive manor, so both decided to undergo the project together as a duo. After releasing 2 EPs and a full-length, Cody left the band in 2020 to become the vocalist of Real Friends. Since then, Youth Fountain moved forward as Tyler's solo project, releasing "Keepsakes & Reminders" in 2021.
Blooms
Youth Fountain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cause I know somehow, it will set me free. I can't hold onto the self abuse, it's not your fault
I missed my chance to bloom.
Everything fades away.
We're going to meet the same fate.
Even if you grow old or die alone,
What difference will it make?
So easy to replace.
I won't deserve a chance at happiness living this way.
Just another line about the better days, finding peace in what you had.
I tell myself one day I'll reminisce and say: Things really weren't so bad."" But I can't seem to let go,
so I'm the only one to blame, for my bleak view on life, left all alone in the mundane. But I know you know what it feels like kid, you once loved so much, but hate yourself for what you did. So I'll cry for help to find myself in every one else,
that's not the person you thought you'd be.
It's constant heartache to face the world time after time,
When you only have so much of it, I feel my life just slip by.
Is this all even real?
Is there something more to this?
All those moments we'll miss when we're knocked back into the abyss.
Would someone just give me a purpose to have?
Cause my past can't be the best thing that ever happened to me.
This sadness just won't stop defining me,
I lost my chance to leave to a promised land, to feel whole again.
Well there's nothing left to see but an empty, worthless shell of a man.
And that's nothing to be proud of, I'll never know who I am.
And with all those late night thoughts knowing in the back of my head, I'll never see you again.
And the older that I get,
the more surprised I'll be I haven't ended it all yet.
The song "Blooms" by Youth Fountain tackles the theme of regret and missed opportunities. The lyrics express a feeling of hopelessness, as the singer admits to having missed their chance to "bloom" and live a fulfilling life. The chorus of the song seems to be an apology to the people who care about the singer, acknowledging that their self-destructive behavior is not the fault of the people around them. The song also touches on the universal theme of mortality, as the singer questions the purpose of life and wonders about the moments that they will miss when they are gone.
The second verse of the song explores the idea of nostalgia and how it can be a coping mechanism for dealing with present difficulties. The singer talks about how they try to find peace by reminiscing about past experiences, but ultimately they cannot let go of their bleak view on life. The song then shifts to a more personal tone, as the singer confesses to feeling lost and searching for a sense of purpose. The lyrics are poignant and raw, as they convey the sense of despair and resignation that often accompanies a feeling of missed opportunities, unfulfilled potential or lost love.

I apologize forever because I know it will release me. I cannot blame you for the harm I've done to myself, and I regret not taking the opportunity to grow.

I'm obsolete.
So easy to replace.
I won't deserve a chance at happiness living this way.
All things deteriorate, and we'll all die eventually. Even if you live long or pass away alone, it will not change much. I feel useless and easily replaceable, therefore, I don't feel worthy of happiness.

that's not the person you thought you'd be.
I reflect on happier times, hoping to find solace in what once was. However, I cannot let go of my despair, so I hold myself accountable for my pessimism and loneliness. I know you can relate because you once loved so deeply but now resent yourself. Therefore, I seek help from others to rediscover who I am.

All those moments we'll miss when we're knocked back into the abyss.
It's a constant struggle to confront this world repeatedly, knowing that life is fleeting, and mine feels wasted. Is this the only reality? Am I missing out on something more? All the joys of life we'll miss when we fall back into the darkness.

This sadness just won't stop defining me,
I lost my chance to leave to a promised land, to feel whole again.
I crave a reason to exist because my past cannot provide fulfillment. This misery continues to shape me, and I missed out on the opportunity to escape to a place where I feel complete.
Well there's nothing left to see but an empty, worthless shell of a man.
And that's nothing to be proud of, I'll never know who I am.
And with all those late night thoughts knowing in the back of my head, I'll never see you again.
And the older that I get,
the more surprised I'll be I haven't ended it all yet.
I feel like a hollow and insignificant human being. It's nothing to take pride in because I'll never discover my true identity. Late at night, I realize that I'll never see you again, and the older I get, the more amazed I'll be that I haven't committed suicide.

Even the cover art is pretty artistic
The background: blank, yellow, color of optimism, right now there's nothing special but they're hoping for better end. In the foreground we can see a well with an obvious symbol suicide - hangman's noose instead of a hanging bucket, the children that are running around the well seem okay with the noose, like it's something common and this exactly is today's problem. Suicide is so common right now, people get used to it, the sad part is that kids got used to it too.
There's also a black dot, probably the sun. If you invert the colors you see a yellow sun but blackness all around, as if the glimpse of happiness is not able to make a major difference, the darkness is too powerful. You could also think that the sun is society's view on suicide - not big enough, you can't see the bigger picture through such a tiny hole, not enough people are aware of the problem that's why the darkness is so big...
Maybe i'm overthinking but that's what i see.
@0PercentBenjamin
A picture really does speak a thousand words
@Immolator772
or maybe he misses his childhood where he was free to do everything and he was happy. While the well with the noose represents him growing up and looking down into nothingless, the noose being the suicide at the end. But yes, you got a point!
@freddoesvox9033
I see bedroom talk changed their name. Im glad that these guys are still active. I have been waiting ages for their full length. I hope they release one soon
@freddoesvox9033
Sean their old stuff is all on the full length. I like the album but there arent many new songs on it
@tvit182
One of my favorite songs of all time.
@Immolator772
Damn, the emotion they put into this, the spoken word, the raspy voice and aggressive instrumentals this is pretty much what i'm looking for in music nowadays and it truly helps with depression. Also the cover art speaks so much, the kids playing carelessly and having fun, just so eventually they start to face the problems in life, while the well with the noose represents, looking down into the darkness and the noose being the only way to escape, at least it's how i see it.
@LMERobbie
Super stoked for these guys! People need to hear this dudes voice!
@mikeynonutz

@KevinMichael
