11 Minutes
Yungblud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm 11 minutes away and I have missed you all day
I'm 11 minutes away, so why aren't you here?

I think I missed you callin' on the other line
I'm just thinkin' all these thoughts up in my mind
Talkin' love but I can't even read the signs
I would sell my soul for a bit more time
You stain all on my body like you're red wine
You're the fuckin' acid to my alkaline
You run your middle finger up and down my spine
I'm sorry there was no one to apologize

I'm so fuckin' sorry, I'm so fuckin' sorry
I've been playing somebody and it's helping nobody
And her lipstick arithmetic didn't stick
And now I'm sick, throwing fits
And yeah, I've seen you in my head every fuckin' day since I left
You on the floor with your hands 'round your head
And I'm down and depressed
All I want is your head on my chest
Touchin' feet, I'm 11

I'm 11 minutes away and I have missed you all day
I'm 11 minutes away, so why aren't you here?
You're 11 minutes away and I have missed you all day
You're 11 minutes away, so why aren't you here?

Tell me what you need, I can make you more than what you are
Come and lay the roses on the floor, every single Sunday, don't get bored
I just want to freeze, I can give you more than what you are
Now I see you standing all alone, I never thought the world would turn to stone

So call me stupid, call me sad
You're the best I've ever had
You're the worst I've ever had
And that keeps fuckin' with my head
Call me stupid, call me sad
You're the best I've ever had
You're the worst I've ever had
And that keeps fuckin' with my head

I'm 11 minutes away and I have missed you all day
I'm 11 minutes away, so why aren't you here? (Why aren't you here?)
You're 11 minutes away and I have missed you all day
You're 11 minutes away, so why aren't you here? (Why aren't you here?)

So call me stupid, call me sad
You're the best I've ever had
You're the worst I've ever had
And that keeps fuckin' with my head
Call me stupid, call me sad
You're the best I've ever had
You're the worst I've ever had
And that keeps fuckin' with my head

You're 11 minutes away and I have missed you all day
So why aren't you here?
Why aren't you here?
Why aren't you here?




Why aren't you here?
Why aren't you here?

Overall Meaning

Yungblud’s song "11 Minutes" is a melodic, emotive track that deals with missing someone intensely. The song is a collaboration with American singer-songwriter Halsey and Travis Barker of Blink-182. The song starts with Yungblud expressing his physical distance from his lover - "I'm 11 minutes away and I have missed you all day". He is conveying that he has been thinking about them the whole day but is still not physically present with them.


In the chorus, Yungblud repeats the same phrase, but this time, he's questioning why his lover isn't there with him despite being just 11 minutes away. He's frustrated and confused as to why they still haven't come to meet him. Meanwhile, Yungblud is trying to read the signs and decipher his lover's feelings towards him, but it seems like he's unable to do so.


Yungblud expresses his regrets and feelings of guilt towards his lover in the second verse. The lines "I'm so fuckin' sorry, I'm so fuckin' sorry, I've been playing somebody, and it's helping nobody" highlight his remorse for past actions. He desires to be with his lover and make it up to them. But throughout the song, it's evident that Yungblud is also going through an emotional turmoil that is messing with his head.


Overall, "11 Minutes" is a song about the intense pain of missing someone, the confusion that comes when we can't read someone's signals, and the remorse we feel when we hurt those we love. The lyrics and the melody of the song perfectly blend to deliver a powerful and relatable narrative.

@danedavies7988

This is stupid. Dom is doing good and if anything, this shows his versatility because he's showing he can adapt his ideas to more than one style of music. Doesn't that make a musician better than sticking to the same genre and being boring? He hasn't even changed his sound, it's just a collaboration between artists and they've created a collaborative sound they all agree on, doesn't mean his whole sound is different.
