Die Young
Embracing the Midnight: Blacklist Royals' Anthem to Living Fast
Lyrics
Take on the midnight hour in those bitchin' black leather soles
Setting the scene of rebellion and defiance, facing challenges with confidence and style.
Where time don't reach us, comb my hair back before I go
Embracing a moment outside the constraints of time, preparing for a departure with personal grooming.
Feel the dull blade in your hand
Sensing danger or risk through the metaphor of a dull blade in hand.
My sworn blood brother, my only friend
Expressing a strong bond with a sworn blood brother who is the narrator's sole companion.
We'll meet again somewhere
Anticipating a future meeting with the blood brother, but uncertain about the timing.
But man, I don't know when
Expressing uncertainty and doubt about the timing of the reunion.
And we could die young
Reflecting on the idea of a life lived to the fullest, potentially ending prematurely.
Don't you really wanna die young
Prompting a rhetorical question, asking if the listener desires to live a short, intense life.
No soft farewells, sweet partings over rested bones
Rejecting traditional farewells and expressing a sense of abandonment by friends.
Just empty cards, empty friends who never show
Describing a lack of meaningful connections, surrounded by empty relationships that don't endure.
Stained white walls radiate the long black shadows
Depicting a gloomy environment with white walls and long black shadows, symbolizing wasted time.
Of wasted days
Emphasizing the concept of time wasted through the imagery of stained white walls.
Soft sunken eyes grown dim inside a stranger's face
Highlighting the impact of wasted time on the narrator, leading to a sense of detachment and unfamiliarity.
I dreamed I was running the hospital halls
Describing a dream where the narrator is running through hospital halls, breaking free.
I was blowing off the doors
Continuation of the dream, suggesting a desire to overcome obstacles and barriers.
So tear those needles from my arm
Rejecting the need for medical intervention, indicating a desire to be free from pain.
You know that I don't hurt no more
Expressing relief from pain and a sense of liberation.
But then I woke up alone, bathed in florescent light
Transitioning from the dream to reality, waking up alone in a sterile environment.
Like a love unknown
Comparing waking up to an unknown love and feeling like a ghost in the night, conveying a sense of isolation.
Like a ghost in the night
Concluding with a vivid image of loneliness and the mysterious nature of the narrator's existence.
