Years & Years - Foundation Lyrics






There's a scratch on your shoulder
Crushes me like, crushes me like lead
And I wanna get older
All the things I want, I really shouldn't get

If I triumph, are you watching?
Can you separate everything for me?
You used to work me out
But you never worked it out for me

There's a scratch on your shoulder
Crushes me like, crushes me like lead
And I wanna get older
All the things I want, I really shouldn't get

If I triumph, are you watching?
Can you separate everything for me?
You used to work me out
But you never worked it out for me

And your head looks good
I wanna love it so much
I wanna be the one
I wanna do what you love

And I was lying
I don't really wanna be fine
It's all over

And there's a scratch on your shoulder
It crushes me like, it crushes me like lead
And I wanna get older
And all the things I want, I really shouldn't get

    I loooove the vibe of this one! So dark and exciting...

  26. n.... b....

    i can't believe its been 2 years already

  27. R.... D....

    olly is someone really important to them, like a religious leader or something like that, and then he died. people went to his funeral, and you can see that there's a guy with his hands raised and totally white eyes (maybe "praying" or conjuring something or even olly to come back to his body), there's a girl whose nose was bleeding which may means she was using some "power", there's a bug over the flowers near his body which could be "him" just waiting to be resurrected (???), there's a woman wearing a kinda weird outfit which puts what seems a tarot card (death card i guess), there's a man who enters the place looking up, maybe, seeing something? there's someone with a book (bible or spell book idk), there's a lot of candles, and finally there's an hourglass, and, when the hourglass time finishes he finally wakes up. when he wakes up, every single person put their arms on the person ahead, meaning they are together for olly, meaning they're together thankful for olly's presence and resurrection.

    R.... D....

    I agree '-'

  28. s.... ....

    My God, I just got chills. And it is perfect.

    There's a scratch on your shoulder
    Crushes me like, crushes me like lead
    And I wanna get older
    All the things I want I really shouldn't get

    If I triumph, are you watching?
    Can you separate everything for me?
    You used to work me out
    But you never worked it out for me

    There's a scratch on your shoulder
    Crushes me like, crushes me like lead
    And I wanna get older
    All the things I want, I really shouldn't get

    If I triumph, are you watching?
    Can you separate everything for me?
    You used to work me out
    But you never worked it out for me

    And your head looks good
    I wanna love it so much
    I wanna be the one
    I wanna do what you love

    And I was lying
    I don't really wanna be fine
    It's all over

    And there's a scratch on your shoulder
    It crushes me like, it crushes me like lead
    And I wanna get older
    And all the things I want I really shouldn't get

  69. p.... w....

    de repente un comentario en español :*

  70. L.... ....

    Apparently something really dark brought me here. And for some equally dark reason, this song and the video and the lyrics and even at times the singing style are VERY reminiscent of FKA twigs. No doubt though, this song is quite engulfing in a dark, dark, way.

    M.... M....

    M.... M....

  92. L.... B....

    olly alexander is my idol #kingofpop #gaygod

  93. A.... S....

    Olly Alexander's voice and his eyes are hypnotising. Damn. He'll be the death of me. Oh and for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about 'Helena' by MCR after watching this video. Anyone else? Just me?

    A.... S....

    YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

    A.... S....

    Anisha Srikar B.

  94. A.... G....

    The singer certainly is wearing a LOT of foundation 😉

  95. E.... ....

    this will forever be my favorite music video of them! Followed by Take Shelter!

  96. I.... K....

    Nie rozumiem?

  97. X.... P....

    What a powerfull voice.

  98. A.... !....

    I'm very attracted to Olly's head twitches.

  99. a.... j....

    at 1:48 they show a certain sign on the boys head, this sign is also painted on a tree at 1:50 in the official video clip of years and years - take shelter. Does anyone know what this sign means? I can't find it anywhere..

    a.... j....

    I've been searching for the meaning as well! I've only heard people tell it stands for Take Shelter (the T and S) and the triangle is for the three main members of the group. But this explanation isn't confirmed or anything.

    a.... j....

    hmm.. it does make sence for the other video so thank you :) but it doesn't for this one does it? :p but this is closer answer than what i have found so far! i did find a sign similar to this one on the internet and that says that it means a spiritual cleanse..:)

    a.... j....

    Late reply I know but I have also been wondering what it means and today when I was watching the video for Eyes shut, I saw the sign again :o So it's in more videos too!

    a.... j....

    I guess it just really means Take Shetler. If you think about it, it does make sense to be in the take shelter video, 'cause it's the name of the song, but in the other videos, like in eyes shut and in this one, it can actually be like an advice

    a.... j....

    But to me this video doesn't make sense, anyway. I just don't understand the concept of the lyrics plus the video, neither one or another seperated from each other, find it beautiful though.
