YUNGER began in Northern California in 2018 as a couple of guys passionate about creating rock music and playing shows. In 2020, Yunger entered the studio with Beau Burchell (Saosin, Senses Fail, Middle Class Rut, Hail The Sun) to create their second EP. With the upcoming EP, Yunger weaves grunge, shoegaze, emo, and dark pop elements into their songs, abandoning the expectations placed on modern rock music to forge their own path.
The Sacramento post-hardcore outfit aims to create organic and heartful music to present a message of hope through the lyrics, inspiring people to overcome their own struggles.
Released on January 21st, YUNGERโs latest single, My Way Out is influenced by their vocalistโs very personal battle with drug addiction; Jay notes: โMy Way Out is about finding your way out of the hell that is drug addiction. It was inspired by my personal experience of fighting through the darkest times in my life, only fueled by any essence of hope. I donโt wish this upon anyone, and I hope this song gives strength to people who need to overcome similar struggles.โ
YUNGER is preparing to hit the road in 2022, and fans should expect the release of more energetic stadium anthems from their upcoming EP at the beginning of 2022.
Gemini
Yunger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I tired of feeling doubt?
Call it forgotten
I don't wanna be left out
I let myself in
I tore the wall that
You put your all into believing
Thereโฒs no reason to leave
To go without seeing
I set the fire
To every liar that made you believe in
There's a feeling that you can't live without
Oh youโฒre a Gemini
Got a wild side
Why would you wanna be left here?
Youโฒre not foolin'
Anyone out here
All your colors seem to show
Youโฒre not letting go
If you stay here
Find somewhere else to call your home
Tell me how long I've been underwater with how you were feeling
Taking it out on everyone that you ever believed in
Your words carry all that you know
Find somewhere else to call your home
Oh youโฒre a Gemini
Got a wild side
Why would you wanna be left here?
Oh you're a Gemini
Got a wild side
Why would you wanna be left here?
Youโฒre not foolin'
Anyone out here
All your colors seem to show
You're not letting go
If you stay here
Find somewhere else to call your home
Cold with a breeze
Stare into my eyes
Hold onto me
Or would you set me on
Set me on fire
Light me up
Oh why wonโฒt you leave
Why wonโฒt you let it go
Just let it be
It's better left untold
Iโฒd rather be waiting
Waiting for nothing
Than being patient
For you to want me
Let me go
Or would you set me on
Set me on fire
Light me up
You're not foolinโฒ
Anyone out here
All your colors seem to show
You're not letting go
If you stay here
Find somewhere else to call your home
Oh youโฒre a Gemini
Got a wild side
Why would you wanna be left here?
The lyrics of "Gemini" by Yunger address a person's inner turmoil and conflicting nature, represented by the symbolism of being a Gemini. The song explores the struggle between wanting to be seen and understood while also hiding certain aspects of oneself. The singer expresses their desire to break free from doubt and be included in the experiences of life. They admit to tearing down the emotional barriers that the listener had put up, believing that there is no reason to leave or refrain from fully experiencing life's ups and downs. The singer also takes responsibility for setting fire to the lies that misled the listener into believing in them.
The chorus emphasizes the dual nature of being a Gemini, with a wild side that may potentially lead to feeling left out. The singer questions why the listener would want to remain in a place where they are not truly fooling anyone and their true colors are showing. They encourage the listener to find somewhere else to call home if they choose to stay.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges the listener's emotional struggles and the impact it has on those around them. They express a desire for the listener to find another place to call home, freeing themselves from the pain they have inflicted on others. The lyrics also convey a sense of longing and a willingness to wait, even if it means waiting for nothing.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been dying to know
I've been longing to find out
Am I tired of feeling doubt?
Am I exhausted from constantly doubting?
Call it forgotten
Consider it as something that has been left behind
I don't wanna be left out
I don't want to be excluded
I let myself in
I allowed myself to become involved
I tore the wall that
I broke down the barrier that
You put your all into believing
You invested your complete trust in
There's no reason to leave
There is no justification for departing
To breathe, to drown and
To take in air, to suffocate and
To go without seeing
To endure without witnessing
I set the fire
I ignited the flame
To every liar that made you believe in
To every deceitful person who made you have faith in
There's a feeling that you can't live without
There is an emotion that you cannot exist without
Oh you're a Gemini
Oh, you possess the traits of a Gemini zodiac sign
Got a wild side
Have a tendency for spontaneous and adventurous behavior
Why would you wanna be left here?
Why would you desire to be abandoned in this place?
You're not foolin' anyone out here
You are not deceiving anyone here
All your colors seem to show
All your true characteristics appear to be evident
You're not letting go
You are not releasing your grip
If you stay here
If you remain in this location
Find somewhere else to call your home
Discover another place to consider your abode
Tell me how long I've been underwater with how you were feeling
Inform me of the duration I have been submerged in your emotions
Taking it out on everyone that you ever believed in
Expressing your frustration towards everyone you once had faith in
Your words carry all that you know
Your words convey everything that you are aware of
Cold with a breeze
Chilly with a gentle wind
Stare into my eyes
Gaze deeply into my eyes
Hold onto me
Grasp onto me tightly
Or would you set me on
Or would you ignite me on
Set me on fire
Ignite me
Light me up
Illuminate me
Oh why won't you leave
Oh, why won't you depart
Why won't you let it go
Why won't you release it
Just let it be
Simply allow it to exist
It's better left untold
It is preferable to remain unspoken
I'd rather be waiting
I would prefer to endure a period of waiting
Waiting for nothing
Waiting with no expectation
Than being patient
Rather than being patient
For you to want me
For you to desire me
Let me go
Allow me to depart
You're not foolin'
You are not deceiving
All your colors seem to show
All your true characteristics appear to be evident
If you stay here
If you remain in this location
Find somewhere else to call your home
Discover another place to consider your abode
Oh you're a Gemini
Oh, you possess the traits of a Gemini zodiac sign
Got a wild side
Have a tendency for spontaneous and adventurous behavior
Why would you wanna be left here?
Why would you desire to be abandoned in this place?
You're not foolin' anyone out here
You are not deceiving anyone here
All your colors seem to show
All your true characteristics appear to be evident
You're not letting go
You are not releasing your grip
If you stay here
If you remain in this location
Find somewhere else to call your home
Discover another place to consider your abode

Singer has a nice pleasant voice, with lots of range and emotion, and the band moves around a lot, which just goes to show you that with the exception of a very few bands, or artists, music really is a young persons game. If this band opened up for a band I was seeing, I would not arrive late (which I do a lot more the older I get) and I would be happy sitting having a beer while the band rocked out behind me.
