Crystal Castles - Violent Youth Lyrics






Show up in your lace
Drink up little girl
And they will always let you down
Hold your mother’s pearl
Show up in your lace
Up to your cheekbones
Prevention is the only cure
Kiss them through windows
Throw up in your plate
Look angelical
If you sleep before I arrive
I’ll pray for you my girl
A flower on fire
And I will always let you down

  25. J.... Q....

    As someone going through a violent youth, I would say if it were put into a song it would sound kinda like this...

    J.... Q....

    shame the band split up so they can't make more stuff like this

  26. C.... C....

    Shit, I thought my right speaker was broken.

  27. J.... A....

    Currently going through a violent youth

  28. J.... Q....

  53. J.... C....

    i feel strange 💔💜

  54. t.... ....

    All these comments reading that cc have gone somewhere? Unless i've missed something, i'm glad they are still around.

    t.... ....

    +mathias de potter Ye you're correct. I guess i'm happy that Ethan and the new girl are still producing good stuff.

    t.... ....

    @timmm85
    so true, hope they'll release some new tracks soon...

    t.... ....

    +mathias de potter couldn't agree more.

    t.... ....

    +timmm85 alice isn't on this track. it's ethan's voice sped up. search "violent youth pitch decreased" to hear this song slowed down to reveal ethan's natural vocal.

    t.... ....

    +timmm85 They're still around but Alice Glass left.

  55. G.... T....

    makes me almost piss myself idk makes me feel strange

    G.... T....

    +Purple Purple that's prob sadness you are feeling...

    G.... T....

    +mathias de potter kek i was high prob dont remember i wrote that

    G.... T....

    @Purple Purple
    high on sadness, wow dude. never tried that before

    G.... T....

    +mathias de potter possibly

    G.... T....

    +Marfu Dela Moana me estoy cagando

  56. S.... M....

    I don't know what it is about CC but their songs wake real emotions in me. Fear, Sadness, Happiness, etc.
    One minute I'm calm the next moment my heart starts to race. I've never experienced something like this through music.

    S.... M....

    +Supervillain listen to death grips.

    S.... M....

    gregory fukwig. death grips? tell me about that

    S.... M....

    josue grajeda Just listen to them and you'll know about all you need to know😂

    S.... M....

    death grips is garbage

    S.... M....

    Emoji Music.

  57. �.... ....

    this song feels like leaving something behind on purpose, and obviously disappointment

    �.... ....

    +RottenMars Damn you nailed it. I had to withdraw from a semester in college and go home due to personal reasons (I'm returning next year), and I listened to this song on my sound system in my dorm room, as well as various other CC songs, while I was packing up all of my belongings. Had to leave all my friends behind and the entire college atmosphere that I loved in general. Listening to this struck all sorts of deep notes emotionally and left me feeling very empty on the inside yet excited and content all at the same time. CC songs always seem to elicit such bizarre emotions for me, it's fucking surreal.

    �.... ....

    Ouch! gut-feels... life hurts sometimes!

    �.... ....

    @Kira Reincarnated the art of melanchony.

    �.... ....

    Oh wow...

  58. M.... L....

    Kath: "Frail" was recorded recently and released as a message that we are in studio writing and recording a new album. The vocals are not my pitched voice (as on "Violent Youth" or the album version of "Not in Love"). A girl named Edith is singing.

  59. K.... t....

    May I use this song for a storyboard video of a robot version of cinderella? Will be sure to give credit.

  60. S.... K....

    Song makes me sad.. Hopeless is a better word I guess.. 

  61. t.... ....

    well they'r both alive & well, right?........gr8 new collabs to come........

  62. �.... ....

    Where i'm ?  ♥♥

  63. _.... ....

    omg 😭😭😭😭 im soo sad i love Ethan & Alice 😭😭😭 cc forever 💕💕💕💕 lol i will continue on supporting them both! 😊😊

  64. c.... H....

    ok man this is dope

  65. G.... P....

    I don't feel anything with this. i'm not normal?

    G.... P....

    I use to feel like a different person to this song.

    G.... P....

    @Lars Von Richtor Maybe that's because this is Ethan's voice and not Alice's

    G.... P....

    No its not the voice. I started to feel like a completely different person after a while. I'm back.

  66. M.... ....

    this isn't alice's vocals, it's ethan singing...

    M.... ....

    David Badiola It's actually Ethan's vocals pitched up.

    M.... ....

    And whats he saying?

    M.... ....

    Dan Gómez extremely wicked shit. He’s talking to his child bride.

  67. K.... L....

    RIP crystal castles :'(

  68. F.... T....

    CC forever

  69. S.... L....

    Bye bye CC, I love you.

    S.... L....

    wait 2020

  70. H.... A....

    CRYSTAL CASTLES BROKE UP AND I AM FUCKING DEVASTATED.

    H.... A....

    not the end of the world lol

    H.... A....

    @frozen8864 YES IT IS

  71. j.... a....

    Goodbye cc

  72. D.... ....

    40 people had a peaceful youth

    D.... ....

    Demoans 97 now

    D.... ....

    Your comment made me feel like I'm not alone.. Thanks

    D.... ....

    I always hate meeting people who don't realize their success relied on the emotional support of a peaceful household.

    D.... ....

    Lucky them

  73. A.... G....

    Oww Cool! I love it this song <3

  74. K.... P....

    i am so inspired by this

  75. C.... ....

    This is my favorite iii song:D

  76. M.... S....

    And I will always let you down

  77. L.... B....

    Crystal Castles has a meaning in every song, the meaning is nothing

    L.... B....

    The song talks about pedophilia and CHILDREN sexual abuse. But this is deep poetry, not everyone can ser it.

  78. P.... L....

    I like this =O

  79. L.... ....

    BEST SONG OF THEM !! ♡♡♡

  80. P.... 3....

    Apenas aguardando por vídeo novo

  81. L.... K....

     I think it talks about the feeling to be apart and forgetfulness.The lyrics are a metaphor about fragile of individuals and the violence of the masses, especially in young ages. Whatever, cristal castles point its on the lenguage of music and lyrics are open and suggestive.

  82. s.... y....

    and i will always let you down... :(

  83. Y.... M....

    Minha predileta. :'3

  84. K.... M....

    Lauren Alanna

  85. R.... P....

    Melhor música vey

  86. d.... ....

    This song gives me goosebumps. Every time.

  87. C.... M....

    i will always let you downnnn :((

  88. k.... ....

    Crystal Castles is not about a meaning or a message, it's about creating a feeling. 

    k.... ....

    @lumberjum555 Exactly

    k.... ....

    go back to skinny puppy you nerds

    k.... ....

    That‘s the only way I‘m able to think

    k.... ....

    @Matt Green yes my friend

    k.... ....

    How are you?

  89. V.... V....

    Best way to enjoy this song is getting X'ed Up and listening to it a max volume

  90. L.... M....

    sounds quite like Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs

  91. a.... ....

    I dont think this is a song about rape I think it's about mass manipulation am I wrong to think that ? :/
