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.
My Mental Health
Youth Fountain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Assuming it would help me be a completely different person
Then I'm left with just myself, there's never any way out
I can't find a single thing to feel alright about
In the song "My Mental Health" by Youth Fountain, the lyrics are a reflection of the struggles of an individual who is battling with his own inner demons. The song talks about how the person has been trying to find solace in alcohol, hoping that by consuming it, he would become a completely different person. The lines "I poisoned all my drinks again and again, Assuming it would help me be a completely different person," shows how the person has been using alcohol as a means of escapism. However, no matter how much he drinks, there is no escaping from the reality of his situation. The line "Then I'm left with just myself, there's never any way out," highlights how the person is struggling to find a way out of his current state of mind.
The last line "I can't find a single thing to feel alright about" is a clear indication of how the person is grappling with his mental health struggles. He is unable to find any reason to feel good about himself or his life. The song portrays the desperation and helplessness that many people who suffer from mental health issues feel. It is a reminder that there are people around us who are struggling and need help.

I poisoned all my drinks again and again
I resorted to self-destructive behaviors, such as excessive drinking, in hopes of finding a solution to my problems.
Assuming it would help me be a completely different person
I falsely believed that altering my behavior would solve my problems and change who I am as a person.
Then I'm left with just myself, there's never any way out
However, once the temporary effects of these behaviors wear off, I am faced with the reality that I am still the same person, and my problems remain.
I can't find a single thing to feel alright about
As a result, I struggle to find any positivity or joy in my life, feeling stuck and overwhelmed by my mental health.
