Yungblud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And she was only seventeen
Had the saddest pair of eyes that you ever seen
Wore them lips in the cold, it was matching green
But she can't be herself when she's somebody else

In the morning, she would take her mother's wedding ring
But school got pretty tough when they see it gleam
So she hid herself under the mezzanine, reenacting scenes, yeah

She dreams she'd go to California
There, everyone would adore her
And all her mates will call her
'Til four in the morning

Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Yeah, yeah

Every morning, she would wake up with another plan
Yeah, her mum and dad, they couldn't understand
Why she couldn't turn it off, become a better man
All this therapy eats away gently

And the side of her mind that she never had
Yeah, this story told too many times, it makes me sad
I bet her author made a fortune on her autograph
Give her her money back 'cause

She dreams she'd go to California
There, everyone would adore her
And all her mates will call her
'Til four in the morning

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Yungblud's song "Mars" tell the story of a 17-year-old girl who is struggling to find her place in the world. The opening lines describe her as having sad eyes and feeling like she cannot be herself when she's around other people. She wears green lipstick in the cold, but it is clear that she is not happy with herself. The girl takes her mother's wedding ring in the morning, but she hides it when she goes to school because it makes her stand out. She spends her time reenacting scenes under the mezzanine, dreaming of going to California where she will be adored by everyone.


The song speaks to the theme of feeling isolated and struggling with authenticity. The girl in the lyrics cannot be herself when she's around other people, and it is implied that this is due to social pressure. She dreams of going to California where she believes that she will be accepted, but it is not clear whether this dream will come true. The chorus asks the question, "Is there any life on Mars?" which can be interpreted as a metaphor for searching for a place where one belongs.


The song speaks to the universal experience of feeling like an outsider and struggling with self-identity. Though the lyrics are specific in their details, they could be applied to anyone who has ever felt like they don't belong. "Mars" is a powerful and poignant song that speaks to the struggles that many young people face.

Reasons why YOU should stay ALIVE:

- “Suicide doesn’t take your pain away, it gives it to someone else”
- “You’ll one day experience joy that matches the pain”
- “Suicide doesn’t end the chances of life getting worse, it eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better”

• you’ll be missed
• you’re loved, even if you don’t want to realise that
• there’s SO much more to experience
• it’s worth it to stay alive
• your death will last for eternity, why earlier..
• you’re able to reach your goals and aims
• you’re able to recover and be stronger than anyone has ever been. they didn’t experience what you did
• it’s your story someday, and you’ll be proud that you didn’t end it..
• You are the only constant in your life, and as long as you do not give up on yourself, life won’t give up on you either.
• there’re endless books and movies you haven’t watched yet.. and trust me they can be life changing
• you have the chance to make your dreams come true
• you haven’t fully explored yourself and your skills. there’s SO much potential in you
• you can be passionate about something, whether it’s drawing, writing or reading.. and it’ll give you a feeling of happiness, a feeling that calms you down and lets you relax, it’s a safe place
• you’re going to miss out on so many opportunities
• you’re trying not to harm anyone, but by ending your life you do the exact opposite of what you wanted. don’t do it
(• i love you, you’re valid and don’t let others judge you or tell you anything)

• you can listen to music, to your fav playlist, your fav song
• you might see your favourite artist soon, you never know..
• reading books, they’ll let u forget about the problems you have
• fictional characters.
• staying up to see the sunset, the moment the colours change and the sun slowly disappears
• star gazing with your future love
• midnight drives with your favourite people, just vibing in a car together
• you want to warn and save others, stay strong, keep going, and you might be able to tell YOUR story someday that’s going to save others
• eating your all time favourite food
• you are yet to find your purpose of life. you’re not just staying alive, you’ll end up finding something to live for <3
• all the sleepovers that could happen, they’re unforgettable.. and you’re never too old
• chase your goals, there’s nothing holding you

• you haven’t traveled across the world
• you haven’t danced in the rain yet
• you haven’t tried to do art yet
• you haven’t tried to play an instrument
• you haven’t given your brightest and biggest smile yet
• you haven’t given yourself the chance to improve
• you haven’t overcome your fears yet
• you haven’t captured the perfect picture on a camera

remember
• your wish-list
• there are people out there who love you
• you have friends
• you have family
• you might have a pet
• the long way you already went down
• you’re capable of being your OWN anchor
• your future lies in your hands.
• you’re strong, I believe in you, you can change it, you can do it!! no matter what other people say or think!!

• you can build snowmans
• you can get a tattoo, a piercing
• you’re yet to discover you’re style and outward appearance, you might be able to love yourself soon
• the smell of clean laundry..
• the feeling when you wear warm socks
• to help others
• to save lifes

- it’s time for you to make your inner child proud.

She was only seventeen
Had the saddest pair of eyes that you ever seen
Wore them lips in the cold, it was matching green

@rosiepenguin

This song somehow expresses the anger and hurt of being partially closeted and too scared to be yourself in such a beautiful way

@thatchafella2824

Hey just know that your loved and cared about,I know sometimes it's hard to see that but you are.Also good look on coming out fully,I hope you enjoy yourself and live life to the fullest

@asterthepaster6288

I feel this, my mom Knows that I’m pansexual but I feel to awkward to talk about it cuz she passively doesn’t support me. Like she says things now and again but doesn’t get too close cuz she think imma try to rape her or something. It hurts and it’s nice knowing that other people have felt this before. Thank you for posting ur comment, it’s made my day 💜

The story behind this song... I love you so much.

@CinnamonGirl0

@drama llama it's about a trans girl, and just being accepted for who you are

@brookedunn9160

@drama llama trans girl wasn’t accepted by her parents and she brought them to a yungblud show and then they went for food after and they accepted her as their daughter.

@brookedunn9160

@drama llama but in my opinion this song can be interpreted in many ways but that’s the story behind it x
