Lyrics for "Youth" by Daughter

Shadows settle on the place, that you left
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time
From the perfect start to the finish line

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong

We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone
We're setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this home

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette,
I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
My eyes are damp from the words you left,
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I'm forever missing him.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it

“And if you’re still bleeding, you’re the lucky ones” “cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone” That one hits hard.

[maddie]

Dear person whoever reads this,
Hey, you, yes, I am talking right to you. I hope you will see yourself with the eyes I see you one day, because I can tell you have some awesome music taste :) You’re such a beautiful human being and worth and enough. I hope you know that you do only need yourself to be happy, I know society build up the standard that whenever you’re alone you’re not living a happy live. But in fact that is not true, if you start to realize that you actually deserve all the good things happening to you, you will treat yourself a lot nicer. I hope you let yourself rest, don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes, over regret, and over everything your mind wants to destroy you. I wish I could remove all those demons inside of your head because you deserve to feel happy. If you ever feel lonely then watch the sky, because you know, someone, at the same time is watching the sky too, maybe feeling the same way..I am glad you exist and I hope you won’t ever remove your own spot in this world, maybe you don’t feel like you belong here but, Angel, then build your home here. I don’t want you to leave this world unhappy. I want you to live every little second, I want you to feel alive, I don’t want you to see yourself just existing. You deserve it. Whatever happened, it’s not your fault, the demons in your head recognize that you have a beautiful heart, they want to take it because they have never seen such beautiful heart as yours, so why let them win over you? . You’re not selfish for isolating yourself, but you deserve to talk to someone. If you’re reading this than please never forget to breath and smile.

Don’t live up to other standards! It’s your story and not theirs.


Life for those who couldn’t, smile for those who forgot what a genuine smile is, love like there’s no other, hug like its your last one.

I love you and send you hugs.
You’re so strong, you’re still here, and I am proud of you.


YOU ARE NOT USELESS. READ THAT AGAIN.
YOU ARE WORTH IT. READ THAT AGAIN.
YOU ARE LOVED. READ THAT AGAIN.
I AM GLAD YOU EXIST. READ THAT AGAIN.
YOU ARE NOT A PROBLEM. YOU ARE HUMAN AND YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID. READ THAT AGAIN.

You’re not a burden to anyone, don’t be afraid to talk, to use your voice.

You’re beautiful inside out.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. READ THAT AGAIN.

I WISH I COULD HUGH YOU RIGHT NOW, SO A VIRTUAL HUG WILL DO.


It hurts me to see you’re in pain :( you deserve so much man, don’t let your emotions control you. Don’t let them get the best of you.

I love u I love u I love u I love u I love u please don’t go.

I am sorry that no one is hearing you, I am sorry no one is noticing that you have lost yourself. I wish I could take your pain away, it hurts me to see the pain in your eyes. I love you trough my words and I mean it. I just want you to stay, hold on a little longer okay? Please? For me.??

I hope you have an awesome day/ morning/ evening/ night.

If it’s night for you, go to sleep, I know it’s hard to fall asleep right now but you deserve a good sleep. If you have nightmares, please, don’t let them fight you.

If it’s day for you, don’t start it by such sad music, I know it’s impossible to have a good day with such mindset but take baby steps, start by drinking two cups of water in the morning and so on.. You will start building little healthy habits.

If it’s evening for you, you’re probably overwhelmed and stressed, I want you to know it’s okay to feel the way you feel. You don’t need to be scared, of course you’re overwhelmed or stressed, I mean who wouldn’t? But it’s important to know that when you feel that way you should do a little self care, such as taking a bath for example? You deserve to feel at ease and relaxed.


And if you are somewhere in between I hope you know that you’re stronger than you think, I know you will make it :)

All I want for you is to stay and feel alive.

Now wipe those tears away and smile for me, you really don’t know much a smile can brighten someone’s day, do you? I hope one day yours will become a genuine one where you don’t need to fake it anymore, because I can’t say this enough, you deserve a good smile and to feel alive. You’re worth more than every fucking cent in this world.

I need you here with me :).

Remember crying is not weakness, let it out as much as you can but don’t let the emotion control you by giving up. It’s okay, you’re here, you’re safe, you can let it out.

Did anyone asked you, how you are feeling today? If not, how are you really? I don’t think you’re doing good, but you will feel good at one point. Don’t give yourself up.

And anyone who gets to be with you, doesn’t know how fucking lucky he/ she/ they is :).

Enough with beating up yourself for today, okay?!

- The stranger that cares about you more than anything.

I hope this is enough for you to stay today, tomorrow will be a new day, a new start, let go now. I hope you can stay.

I hope you will remember my words- becho :)

Until tomorrow, my friend :)

[kodywidows]

the lyrics "i'm just a silhouette, i'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget."" my eyes are damp from the words you left, ringing in my head, when you broke my chest." really hit hard and are relatable to losing a friend or bf/gf

[deadchi]

I really hate how depression is becoming normalized for gen-z. Guys, wake the fuck up. Depression is serious and if your having suicidal thoughts, sh thoughts, sudden mood changes, etc. please either go get help from a therapist or get checked out by a pediatrician. i love you and never forget. you will make it. one day you'll get to say "i survived". 2020-2021 has been really hard for a lot of people, not just you. were all in this together, its okay.

[prokurbah]

REPEAT TO YOURSELF EVERYDAY
I Am Not My Past.
I Am Not My Mistakes.
I Am Not My Failures.
I Am Who I Decide To Become.
I Am Who I COMMIT To Become.
I Commit To Become The Best I Can Be.
I Forgive.
I Move On.
I Look Forward To A New Me.
My Best Is Yet To Come.

"the lovers that went wrong."

this part hurts me everytime

[UNICORNHOLIO_]

My brother passed away 2 years ago and we finally got his phone back and this is one of the last songs he searched on Spotify :/

[Real.t.o.]

I feel as if she’s singing to all those that are mentally stable and telling them that all of us mentally unstable are dealing with a lot and explaining our feelings to them

[irisrodriguez]

who else should be doing work but instead of doing that, you are reading comments.

[mayayaron]

Oh my god, she’s a genius, her lyrics, melody, voice, so much emotion, you can hear that she means everything she’s saying in this song. It’s hard to find people like that today. That was an amazing experience, thank you🥺

[yakasitamercy]

"And if you're in love, then you're the lucky one
'cause most of us are bitter over someone
Setting fire to our insides for fun
To distract ourselves hearts from ever missing them
But I'm forever missing him."

[veni.natavi.vici.]

This song is the only thing keeping me sane at the moment

[leahfetty]

My daughter was a stillborn. And this reminds me of what I felt after. I still cry listening to this

[gracedalgliesh]

Me and my best friend listened to this blasting on our headphones on New Year’s Eve either the fireworks in the background that was the moment I had the realisation that life is what you make it, I felt so free and I’m the moment I thanked the universe for letting me be on this amazing planet

Lyrics for "Youth" by Daughter
• Vocals Performed by: Daughter

Shadows settle on the place, that you left.
Our minds are troubled by the emptiness.
Destroy the middle, it's a waste of time.
From the perfect start to the finish line.

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong
The lovers that went wrong.

We are the reckless,
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there.

And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone.
We're setting fire to our insides for fun.
Collecting pictures from a flood that wrecked our home,
It was a flood that wrecked this home.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it

Well I've lost it all, I'm just a silhouette,
I'm a lifeless face that you'll soon forget,
My eyes are damp from the words you left,
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.
Ringing in my head, when you broke my chest.

And if you're in love, then you are the lucky one,
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I'm forever missing him.

And you caused it,
And you caused it,
And you caused it
