Letters to Our Former Selves
Youth Fountain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where the fuck did you go? The day you left me for dead again. But did you ever think I could be different? You never gave me a chance.

Wake up. I still feel like I'm sleeping, sleeping so heavy in my own thoughts. They contain words I once said to her, so overdramatic, so over-the-top. And now I can't stop reminiscing on times that I wish I could just go re-live. Because a whole year without you my dear, completely cut from my life from some stupid fight I caused.

So where the fuck did I go? That day you left me for good. I guess I tried to grow stronger as our love just got weaker. I still remember the promise I made for you that day. ""You've got to be more happy in your life"" but things just aren't alright without you.

Well i guess it's my turn to share my story and how this song helped me a lot to get out of my fuckin depression.

I have matched with this girl in the beginning of july. After days of chatting, i proposed a drink. She was here... Waiting for me. I was hesitant and shy. After a two minutes of breathing , i went to her encounter . After the date, she told me "It was a magnificent night" then i hugged her so much. Two days after, i kissed her on "Hail to the king" by Avenged Sevenfold and we were officially a couple 25th of July . I will always remember those sleepless night with her, playing at Uncharted on my PS3. After the game, we were in my garden, looking all the stars talking about our couple and our future. It was the first night i said to her "I love you".
Five month of fun love and happiness.... I introduced her to my parents , she did the same, even with her band of friends, even to her ex boyfriend who is really not a bad guy.

But there was this guy at her university .... who texted her so much.... even when she was with me . I was under pills so i was almost knockout and did'nt noticed this enough quickly. At university her other "friends" arranged meets and date between her and him, just the two of them. After weeks, he kissed her. She told me the truth in crying.... Told me she want to stay alone and not to be in couple...

But after this... She posted a photo on her instagram story where she kiss the guy. i was ready to star the fight in this song but after reflexion it was better for me to leave

It was a fuckin depression for me : pills, loss of weight, crying and sleepless night......

and after i found this song : each day i jump everywhere in my bedroom, picturing me in front of her , screaming the lyrics of this song in a theater with a big crowd ..... I hope one day she will remember me and how bad she have been with me and how selfish she was in tolding me " i'm good without you, so i see no reason to bring you back to my life ".

Thank you for this song guys Thank you for your attention. I hope to see this guys in france to thank them for this album for get me out of my depression. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you all.
