Molly
Youth Killed It Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But why am I covered in scratches?
You clawed apart my heart strings,
And pulled apart my mattress.
In the jungle you don't have many friends,
I guess I don't like humans,
So I hang out with a cat because,
Yeah, I got a mate called Molly,
We even eat together and sleep together,
And sometimes we watch TV together like.
She's been chewing on my microphones,
I hate it when I go work and she's all alone,
but she leaves me a mess for when I get home,
And a smell that takes a few hours to go.
In the jungle you don't have many friends,
I guess I don't like humans,
So I hang out with a cat because,
You don't get eaten in the zoo man.
Yeah, I got a mate called Molly,
We even eat together and sleep together,
And sometimes we watch TV together like.
I spend all my days hanging out,
With molly, never move out
Molly never move house,
Molly, Molly, Molly.
I travel for days when I'm out,
Molly I feel I miss out,
Molly I miss hanging out,
Molly, Molly, Molly.
They're saying who's that together,
Man and cat together,
Just me and Molly like.
The lyrics to "Molly" by Youth Killed It revolve around the theme of finding solace and companionship in unexpected places, particularly with a cat named Molly. The first verse introduces the idea that love can cause pain and leave scars, both emotional and physical. The scratches symbolize the damage inflicted by a past romantic relationship, parallel to the act of tearing apart heartstrings and mattresses. This suggests that the singer has been hurt by someone they once loved deeply.
The second and third verses metaphorically compare the singer's social experiences to that of a jungle. In this metaphorical jungle, they feel isolated and disconnected from other people, expressing their dislike for humans. As a result, they find comfort and kinship in the company of their cat, Molly. The image of not being eaten in the zoo signifies a sense of safety and security that Molly brings, contrasting with the uncertainties and dangers of human relationships.
The chorus repeats the introduction of Molly as a mate and emphasizes their close bond. They eat, sleep, and even watch TV together. Molly becomes a consistent companion in the singer's life, providing emotional support and companionship.
The bridge highlights the absence the singer feels when they are away from Molly. They describe their longing to be with Molly and their reluctance to move out or leave their current situation. Molly is portrayed as a constant source of comfort and stability in their life.
The final lines of the song highlight the curiosity and judgment from others regarding the singer's unique relationship with Molly. The phrase "Just me and Molly like" emphasizes their contentment with the companionship they share, disregarding any societal norms or expectations.
Overall, "Molly" explores the emotional wounds caused by past relationships, the sense of isolation and detachment from human connections, and the comfort and companionship found in the bond between the singer and their cat, Molly. It conveys a message about finding solace and love outside of conventional relationships and embracing the unconventional sources of companionship that bring happiness and fulfillment.

They say love hurts,
People often claim that love causes pain,
But why am I covered in scratches?
However, I am physically marked with wounds,
You clawed apart my heart strings,
You forcefully tore apart the emotional connection,
And pulled apart my mattress.
And destroyed the peacefulness of my bed.
In the jungle you don't have many friends,
In a challenging environment, friendships are scarce,
I guess I don't like humans,
Perhaps I have a dislike towards other people,
So I hang out with a cat because,
Hence, I choose to spend time with a cat since,
You don't get eaten in the zoo man.
I am not at risk of being consumed, my friend.
Yeah, I got a mate called Molly,
Yes, I have a companion named Molly,
We even eat together and sleep together,
We even share meals and rest side by side,
And sometimes we watch TV together like.
Occasionally, we spend time watching television together, just like any other company.
She's been chewing on my microphones,
However, she has been biting my audio recording devices,
I hate it when I go work and she's all alone,
I detest the idea of leaving her alone while I am away for work,
but she leaves me a mess for when I get home,
Yet, she leaves behind a disorderly state upon my return,
And a smell that takes a few hours to go.
Accompanied by an odor that lingers for several hours.
I spend all my days hanging out,
I invest all my time in socializing,
With Molly, never move out
With Molly, never considering leaving
Molly never move house,
Molly never changes her dwelling
Molly, Molly, Molly.
Molly, Molly, Molly.
I travel for days when I'm out,
When I am away, I journey for extended periods,
Molly I feel I miss out,
Molly, I sense that I am missing experiences,
Molly I miss hanging out,
Molly, I long for our companionship,
Molly, Molly, Molly.
Molly, Molly, Molly.
They're saying who's that together,
Observers inquire about the identities of the pair,
Man and cat together,
A man and a cat united,
Just me and Molly like.
Only Molly and I, just as it is.
