Song Released: 2018

Surrender my everything 'cause you made me believe you’re mine
Yeah, you used to call me baby, now you're calling me by name
Takes one to know one, yeah, you beat me at my own damn...

#1 top rated interpretation:When I first read the lyrics I immediately assumed this song was about a dysfunctional relationship where they break up and get back together and see other people in between, or at least one of the two is seeing another person, and the other has done so in the past to another person at some point. Both have once called their lover “baby” and then by their first name, and he recognizes this as a sign of her love fading or going somewhere else when she isn’t calling him baby anymore.
Then when I saw the music video it shows the couple in their later years. This is exciting because maybe love, even within dysfunctional relatiaonhips, can heal and survive time. The first scene reflects the Matrix movie but doesn’t show the couple making a choice necessarily, but rather they happily take the same pill that flashes then back to their younger years when they fell in love. Their love survives the test of time possibly, and although they were once immature, their love endured.
The second music video reminds me of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116: Let me not to the marriage of true minds (pasted below). This sonnet, or poem, is about how love is not about the marriage of the minds of two people but about the soul connection two people share that goes much deeper. “Love’s Not Time’s fool”, or it doesn’t alter after hours or weeks or years, it “bears it out even to the edge of doom”. Here is the poem:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd. -

#2 top rated interpretation:I think that the term “Youngblood” refers to a girl that the author is in love with. But he being older, the girl wants to experience love with someone of the same age as her that’s why she has been calling someone else. He loves the girl very much but tries to run away from her to protect the girl from himself. He also wants her to be happy, but he is not strong enough to let her go definitively. Their conversations end like it's the last goodbye, it seems like they keep in touch with each other, try to seem cold but their relationship burns like fire. They can’t forget each other, they need each other.

#3 top rated interpretation:It could be about this couple... Torn to bits and yet still trying to be together... Not even being called baby, but by name now, pushing away and pulling away seem as the only options left... The past days are gone now and it's just a dead man,meaning a person who really doesn't give a shit, walking alone at night as soon as the person says they want them out of their lives... Truly a love struggle in their life..

This definitely means narcissism to me. The narcissist needs it all from the target. Even the soul. Dead man walking.
Takes one to know one, yeah. You beat me at my own damn game. That is the projection and blaming from the psychopath. Causes the target to go insane and start self doubt. It then causes more insanity and more effort. More give and take.
Nobody can take my place. The building up of the first stage of the relationship then total tear down, the triangulation of the new target.
The addiction for this love. Push and pull. The abuse, the insanity, the gas lighting.
The song writer is healing now but feels empty. They are still addicted to the narcissist, but breaking free. A codependent still in the narcissist control wouldn't be able to internalize this.
I love this song, it speaks to me. Thank you. -

I had an ex send this video to me. We were VERY much madly in Love for 11yrs! We even snuck sex in public we were So crazy for each other! Tght we wud grow old together. Then he started cheating & denying of course. I shut him off & out. I am now living a very successful full bzy life. We jst aren’t the same he irritates me with his immaturity used to be a turn on cuz he wud try ANYTHING!
I have MANY successful male friends (beat me at my own damn game).
It resonated w/me and obviously him hence he sent it. All I responded w/was “Wow prophetic “ .
I Love it but it is sad. Its about a time lost. A life no longer. The End. If you will; not as you tght it would be. -
I think the pills are a last chance pill go out with a bang a 24 hour pill that let's them go back to when they first fell inlove and the good times they had when they were youngbloods all at a cost end life there and then or live out what little time they have left trying to remember their golden years
-
I think klyoungblood is about someone who Was in an unhealthy relationship and didn't know how to get out. They were trapped and every time they tried to leave they would come crawling back.
-
I think it is about the desensitising of the masses of blood rituals and the consumption of actual blood from young victims. The pills refer to the choice the characters had in the Matrix to become aware of the system they are deceived and so held captive in by their choices and willing blindness to truth.

I think the blue pill is a suicide pill and before the pill sets in they both remember the time they spent together. So after the pill sets in the both “falls asleep”. For the meaning part of youngblood, I think that their relationship was a bit broken back then but they’ve settled it and now they wanna die together since he’s older than her (even by a bit).
-
well... i thought it was about them taking a suicide pill (the blue they take in the start) and they remember when they where young together after they take it and like fall asleep or die

Ha Ha. Youre all wrong. Have you never heard of the name "young blood?"
It refers to any young man having a relationship with an older woman -
the blue pill they take is a time resetter and they go back in time and do all the fun stuff again but at the same time the girl I think is cheating on him when in the song it says "when your looking at all those strangers hope to god you see my face" it means like he is looking at with his eyes saying with his eyes please don't cheat on me that was my interpretation.
