► Yungblud’s song “Weird!” was written before the coronavirus pandemic forced many people to self-isolate, but the rising star decided it was an appropriate time to release the track in April 2020.
“I wrote the song about the weirdest time in my life ever imagined,” Yungblud says in a statement. “I felt like the ground beneath me was a maze that was shapeshifting and I felt like I was going to fall down the cracks and, in my opinion, the world feels exactly like that right now. I wanted this song to make everyone feel that everything was going to be alright no matter how weird things get.”
► Weird! – YUNGBLUD – Lyrics:
I can’t sleep at this time
I got Jesus on my mind
And everybody seems to like him
I can’t think, I can’t lie
I feel anxious all the time
If I smiled I would be lyin’
Only those who are asleep
Don’t make mistakes, get no critique
Seems everybody’s worried ’bout things that we are thinkin’
And when the remedy’s the enemy
You hide self deprecation up your sleeve
And self-serving friends who leave when you are sinkin’
Come hold my hand
Hold it tight
We’re in a weird time of life
Don’t wreck your brain
It’ll be alright
We’re in a weird time of life
I want luck, I want love
Sharing earphones on the bus
And wake up next to you in Glasgow
Some days I’ll laugh, one day I’ll cry
See my mum and father die
But the sun will shine tomorrow
Only those who are awake
Will make mistakes and learn to face
Everybody worried ’bout things that we are thinkin’
And the enemy’s the remedy
Take the self deprecation from up your sleeve
And say fuck the friends who leave when you are sinkin’
Come hold my hand
Hold it tight
We’re in a weird time of life
Don’t wreck your brain
It’ll be alright
We’re in a weird time of life
Weird time of life
Weird time of life
