New Jersey five-piece, Youth In Revolt are exactly what their name describes; a group of young men who weren't born to follow the trends, live the life stereotypical America laid out for them, or listen to anyone that tells them other than what they feel is right. As the band awaits the release of it's debut EP Love Is A Liar's Game, industry officials and a welcomed pre-release fan base are buzzing with excitement over what everyone knows will be the next staple of the music scene. Lead by front-man True Arahill, who has amassed an enormous YouTube and Twitter following on his own via top notch cover videos showcasing his angelic yet powerful voice, the band draws influence from musical entities such as Sleeping With Sirens and Of Mice and Men. With sinister riffs, heavy breakdowns, an array of catchy choruses, and the missing ingredient in today's scene of cleanly sung verses, Youth In Revolt's sound is nothing to be considered forgettable. With a mature and positive direction, the band and team are strapping in for a ground-breaking album which will pave their way to the top.
Dead Inside
Youth in Revolt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a tragedy
A deadly poison
Without a remedy
Intoxicated just a taste
To make it right
Look in the mirror
This monster you created
This war you have begun
Wasting away
In the shame of my mistakes
Crossing these bridges as they burn up into flames
This emptiness
That settled in
I feel it crawl beneath my skin
So dead inside
(So dead inside)
Nightmares infecting me
Making it hard to dream
It's getting harder just to breathe
Give me something to believe
Something to believe
Not sure how much I can endure
And death is knocking at my door
But I'm still swallowing the very thing
That's killing me
Watch my body hit the floor
And when your world comes crashing down
There won't be anyone around
To save you from yourself
Open your eyes
Cause this life is a suicide
Make up your mind
You know this isn't your time to die
You'll say
Where did it all go wrong?
When you wake up to find
That everything you love is gone
The lyrics of Youth in Revolt's song Dead Inside speak of a person who is struggling with addiction and its consequences. The song starts off by calling for help from a doctor, as the singer feels that they are in a toxic situation without any possible cure. The lines "Intoxicated just a taste, To make it right" suggest that the singer is turning to the substance that they are addicted to in order to feel better, despite knowing that it is harmful to them.
The next set of lyrics speaks of the consequences of the singer's actions, as they look in the mirror and see the monster that they have become. They are filled with shame for their mistakes and are crossing bridges that are burning behind them, suggesting that they are not able to fix the damage that has been done. The line "Wasting away, In the shame of my mistakes" highlights the guilt and helplessness that the singer is feeling.
The chorus of the song continues to highlight the singer's feelings of emptiness and hopelessness, as they are "dead inside" and are being haunted by nightmares. They are struggling to find any meaning or purpose in life and are desperate for something to believe in. The song ends with a warning to those who may be going through a similar situation, urging them to open their eyes and realize that they have the power to overcome their addiction and take control of their life.

There won't be anyone around
There's no one to turn to for support
To save you from yourself
To prevent oneself from making bad decisions
Open your eyes
Become aware of your surroundings
Cause this life is a suicide
Living recklessly is self-destructive
Make up your mind
Decide and commit to a course of action
You know this isn't your time to die
Believing that there's still a chance to live and change
You'll say
Looking back and reflecting on the past
Where did it all go wrong?
Questioning the direction and choices made in life
When you wake up to find
Realizing a negative outcome or loss
That everything you love is gone
Losing everything that is important to you

I'm a sucker for bands with a good sound and higher pitched lead singers in love with this band 😍
Emma Jacobs
Same XD. I'm guessing you like sleeping with sirens then?
Rahzia
Emma Jacobs yep!!! And Don't forget PTV and As it is lol
Rashotcake
I really dislike high pitched voices in bands
Emma Jacobs
Rashotcake I know a lot of people who don't like it either. I'm assuming you don't like Youth In Revolt then. What bands do you listen to?

+Awkward Em bring me the horizon, system of a down, blink-182, story so far, a day to remember, citizen, arctic monkeys. I know blink-182 has a high pitched voice singing in some songs but it's not high pitched the way pierce the veil, sleeping with sirens and youth in revolt is. I try to listen to bands people in my age group listen to so I'll be more likely to meet someone with the same preferences
TheEnlightenShadow
I literally can't wait to see them live on Warped. I'm definitely fucking shit up during that last breakdown. \../
