Anarchist
Yungblud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Locked me in a room since I was young
I've never seen a morning sun come up
I'm employee of the month at a Ritalin club
Yeah, why do you think I'm so messed up?

They don't know where I am, I don't know where I am
I don't know where I am
I don't know where I am, don't know where I am
Don't know where I am

They said I'm an ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
Ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids

'Cause they took my favourite old game set
And then they pawned my toys for a Percocet
And then they tied up a toaster to my head
And then they chucked me off a cliff but I'm still not dead

They don't know where I am, I don't know where I am
I don't know where I am
I don't know where I am, don't know where I am
Don't know where I am

They said I'm an ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
Ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
Ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
Ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids

La-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

They said I'm an ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
Ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
Ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
Ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
Ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids




Ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yungblud's song 'Anarchist' addresses issues related to mental health and teenage rebelliousness, emphasizing the impact of external factors on an individual's personality. The song is about a person who has been locked in a room since childhood and has never seen the morning sun. The singer's experience is extremely traumatic, as exemplified by his rant about being the employee of the month at a Ritalin club, suggesting he has been put on medication to suppress his energy levels and keep him docile. The singer is resentful and nihilistic, evidenced by the line "why do you think I'm so messed up?"


The verse continues with the singer describing what his abusers did to him. He talks about how they took his favourite toys and games, pawned them for drugs, tied a toaster to his head, and threw him off a cliff, but he still survived. The singer is evidently up against something quite formidable, and he thinks that no one knows where he is, which means he is completely alone in his struggles.


Overall, the lyrics suggest that the singer is suffering from the long-term consequences of being completely isolated, abused, and possibly medicated throughout his life. He has responded to his trauma with anger, and it manifests in his anarchic and rebellious attitude.


Line by Line Meaning

Locked me in a room since I was young
I have been isolated and confined from the world since I was a child


I've never seen a morning sun come up
I have never experienced the beauty of a sunrise


I'm employee of the month at a Ritalin club
I am given medication to keep me subdued and under control


Yeah, why do you think I'm so messed up?
My upbringing and circumstances have left me with psychological issues


They don't know where I am, I don't know where I am
I am lost and have no sense of direction, and nobody knows where I am anyway


Don't know where I am, don't know where I am
I am completely disoriented and have no clue where I am


They said I'm an ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
I have been labeled as an anarchist due to my rebellious actions


Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
I am different from other kids who conform to societal norms


Cause they took my favourite old game set
The authorities have taken away something that I hold dear


And then they pawned my toys for a Percocet
They sold my childhood belongings for their own gain


And then they tied up a toaster to my head
I have endured physical abuse and torture


And then they chucked me off a cliff but I'm still not dead
They have tried to kill me, but I have survived despite all odds


La-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Musical interlude


They said I'm an ana-ana-anarchist, I'm an anarchist
I am still labeled as an anarchist


Ana-ana-anarchist, not like the other kids
I still stand out from others due to my nonconformity

It’s almost as if he is showing his strength but then his fears come out the second time he says it.

@sunflowerhuman4212

I love when artists unexpectedly transition from their chest voice to their head voice. It just adds to the song somehow

@brunalaysa9408
