Psychotic Kids
Yungblud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A world where the suffering's dead
And they can't fight or unjustly arrest
Anybody for the color of their body
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them
Shocks like that make me laugh
It's fun to laugh when you're sad
Be happy, come on let me be happy
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them
My mum thinks I'm on heroin
And my dad just thinks I'm gone
But they don't know fuckin' anything
Say, "Youth is wasted on the young"
My mum thinks I'm on heroin
And my dad just thinks I'm gone
But they don't know fuckin' anything
Say, "Youth is wasted on the young"
Wasted on the young
Wasted on the young
Wasted on the young
Wasted on the young
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want (what they want)
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them (control them)
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want (what they want)
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them (control them)
We've got to keep control of them
We've got to keep control of them
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
In "Psychotic Kids," Yungblud creates a vivid image of a world free of pain, where injustice is not tolerated, and all are treated equally. The singer wants to escape from reality and enter his own mind, which he describes as psychotic. However, he doesn't want to be alone in this world and invites the listener to come with him. The chorus highlights his desire for control in this world, as he urges to keep control of the "psychotic kids," who are misunderstood by society.
The second half of the song speaks of the singer's struggle with his parents' lack of understanding. They view him as a problem, with his mom believing he's on drugs and his dad thinking he's lost. The phrase "Youth is wasted on the young" suggests that the older generation doesn't appreciate the struggles of being young and that they aren't equipped to deal with the complexity of the modern world.
The song highlights the struggles of young people who feel misunderstood and marginalized by society. It encourages young people to embrace their uniqueness, to speak out against injustice, and to cope with their problems by entering their own world.

@Slaying 😋 well, you didn't understand me
It doesn't make this phrase deep, or great, unique, or unusual
It's as simple as it could be
It's just take popular problem and tell it in case, that we can only dream about it's dissappear
In can right here make something like that
"when I'm in bed, I see how people stop wars and care about each other"
"I can only imagine our planet safe and not killed by the people"
Continue?
Or it is me understood you wrong?
