LYRICS
And so I’ve arrived
With gold in my eyes
Are you paying attention?
I was searching for something
As I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone?
As I watched you go
I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for
I’ve been looking for so long
In Amerika
Throw my hands in the air!
Flash faded
Say you care but you don’t
You know I hate it!
It’s a rich kid game didn’t grow up with a throne
It’s all it really is
I was searching for something
As I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone?
As I watched you go
I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for
Always talkin’ ‘bout one day
In Amerika
It’s the same story
You want glory son
I’ve been looking for so long
But you cut me out!
Throw my hands in the air cuz I…
Your palace
All the friends you own
So jealous
Felt that rich kid pain what it is to be alone
It’s all it really is
I was searching for something
As I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone?
As I watched you go
I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for
Always talking about one day in Amerika
It’s the same story
You want glory son
In Amerika! In Amerika! In Amerika!

This band is too underrated
+CFCninja omg me too
I AGREEEEEEE
yasss bitches
What I love about underrated alternative bands is that no one has no idea who you are talking about
the clique is everywhere :')
"Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for?"
That line gets to me. God damn it, I love Young the Giant.
Jake Northrup Yeah but I don't get it
MrValienty
It also reflects with his frustration with the the American dream, using him for profit without supporting him.
Jake Northrup it’s “I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for”. He’s not asking a question he’s saying that he’s mad for being used. 😁
Fuck yea!
* I am mad because I don't know what you used me for
The song speaks to a feeling of abandonment in a harsh foreign world (Amerika). The singer knows he was merely a pawn in someone else's game, but he's too naive to understand how he was even played. He was manipulated at a time and place where he truly needed companionship :(
I found this band by accident but I don't regret it.
Do you mean by accident
OdysseyZZGaming Yea autocorrect
me too....moved from L.A. to alaska.....heard them in an indie station here......damm big radio stations they don't play good music and suppress great indie bands..
Yeah!! Me too
Yeah me too
I’m 50, having grown up with classic rock, new wave, and alternative music, and this is one of my favorite modern bands. Definitely the highlight of Firefly 2019.
You are an year older than me.😁 And i grown up with the same music. And i have a lot of music list on YT. Have you heard of the band Madrugada? It's my music on this moment. Gr K. Vos The Netherlands.
I am not okay, this is beautiful
Same
As the daughter of two immigrants I can relate to this so much. This sense of culture and community in a place that is foreign to you. This is amazing.
Is it me or do Fueled By Ramen always sign the best bands?
I know! I was also thinking that!
twenty one pilots, P!atd, Fall Out Boy, Jimmy Eat World, Paramore, and YTG. So,,,, definitely yes!
+Ryan B Vinyl theatre dude
not all of them. Foster the people
yes, they do. 👍
crap. I've only listened to two songs so far and I already feel an obsession forming
That's YTG for ya! Welcome to the dark side!
Vanice Icarus i saw them at el rey teather.in L.A....im impresed.
Vanice Icarus same thing happened to me. I recorded Artists Den (PBS), just out of routine, and here was this group that I had never heard of. They were performing at... El Rey. That's all it took. I was strangely and obsessively hooked.
I caught them in Atlanta a few weeks back (drove a few hundred miles for that). They were awesome.
Same here!
Just you wait...
One of the best song i ever heard. Masterpiece. No words
Young the giant is my favorite band of all time
Same
Same here!!!!!
I can't stop playing the song over and over.
I have yet to hear a song by these guys that I haven't liked, they hit the mark every fuckin time! Stoked for this new album, such a kick ass band!
do u still feel the same way?
This song is so Beautiful, almost cried the first time hearing it.
This song just rips my heated heart out ,chills the fuck out of it and puts it back
That makes no sense
I immediately liked it, but when the drums came in I really liked it! Cool!
indeed
I saw them last night. It was definitely the best concert I have ever been to. It was 100x more amazing than I thought it was already going to be. So amazing.
I've seen them twice now, they only get better every time or else I just fall in love with them more every time, lol! I will see them EVERY chance I get!
They make me feel like Coldplay did in the the early 2000s. Beautiful imagery
This band is better than Coldplay imho
@@cza79 Yeah have to agree on that
Coldplay are a great band, but ytg are better.
I'm seeing them on my birthday!!!!!
Lucky 😩
+MsRaconteur they were great! 😊
I'm seeing you on my birthday!!
Chuck Norris ha 😐
AJ Javia Lol 😂 ha 😐
Holy smokes. Just listened to the song for the first time while reading the lyrics. How can it be this good? How can the story, the lyrics, and the melody all align this well when so many "songs" out there are meaningless gibberish? This is the definition of music. It's perfection.
How do you create something all of sudden that feels like your life was missing? is this love? I think I'm in love with this song. “Its all it really is.."
They've been one of my favorite bands for a while now (at least two years) and they still get me with their music every time. So amazing!!
I can not wait for the in the open session of this
Can't get enough of this sound. Addicting.
lissen to børns he's kinda the same
Everything this band puts out is gold, saw them live in Hawaii and Sameer makes me melt
One of the best songs.
This song makes me so happy. I rode through a bus with 17 other teens in Costa Rica listening to this. It was only the 2nd day that we had all known each other, and I SWEAR this song is what brought some of us closer together. Thank you Young the Giant!!!!!!
I already loved fueled by ramen bc of Twenty øne pilots and P!ATD but NOW that i’ve found this well... i’m obsessed
If only Two Door Cinema Club would take a page from Young the Giant and M83's book, and just release something instead of teasing us.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR FOR A NEW ALBUM I AM SO EXCITED
Soooooo frikin underated i love this song
I am dying. CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUMM!!!
This is a deeply touching song. My brothers favorite and he is in Korea and I miss him so it reminds me of him.
Amerika is the best song of the entire album. God damn it, I just love it so badly.
M. Brieff second best behind something to believe in
M. Brieff it was a good album opener too.
First time I heard these guys was on the MTV acoustic set they played 6-7 years ago. I remember asking my wife to come and listen to the the amazingly crystal clear vocals (fast forward and no deterioration on the front). My wife's favorite band. Saw them live in CT a couple of years ago and have tickets to the D.C. show this coming November. Very good band indeed.
It's my first to listen Young The Giant and I LOVE IT
You're in for a treat then. Start with the first album and work your way forward. Also, check out in the open sessions by them. You'll see how talented they really are
+cmathew86 thank u
i'll search!
+Selen Nope You're welcome. The song that got me into them was “I Got” from In the Open sessions. Enjoy!
listen to something to believe in by them
Lyvia Migliaccio first song I heard by them was apartment
I didn't expect this video, but it's pretty cool :3
+Maria99Maria99 Got the same Feeling
+Gabriel Ahuatzi ^^
+Gabriel Ahuatzi .😆😆😆😆😆😆👮👮👮
Pp
Ok, well that was way too beautiful...
holy FUCK this came out of nowhere!! love this band to death
This song hits all the aspects of perfection.
The video makes it that much better.
I've had this on repeat for days now, and this is the best I could do in deciphering the lyrics. Can't wait till they publish them!
And so I've arrived
With gold in my eyes
Are you paying attention?
I was searching for something as I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone as I watched you go?
Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for?
I've been looking for so long in America
Throw my hands in the air
Flash, fade in
Say you care, but you don't
You know I hate it
It’s a rich kid game and they grow up with the throne
It's all it really is
I was searching for something as I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone as I watched you go?
Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for?
Always talking about one day in America
Same old story oh, you want glory son
I've been looking for so long
But you cut me out
Throw my hands in the air cause I...
Your parents
All the friends, you, oh (owe?)
So jealous
But that rich kid pain, what it is to be alone
It’s all it really is
I was searching for something as I watched you run
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
Were you looking for someone as I watched you go?
Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for?
Always talking about one day in America
Same old story oh, you want glory son
In America, in America
In America, in America
In America, in America
+sampaguitax : I KNEW it was "It's a rich kid game, and they grow up with the throne. That's all it really is." I thought that was a particularly poignant line. Thanks for hearing the same thing as I did! Ha ha. The video and song are both so moving and poignant. Gives me chills literally every time I hear / watch it.
i love it
Breathtaking.
That's all that it really is.
2018 still listening to
Young the giants
Thank you all
This song is so chill. Love these vibes!
Sameers voice is so beautiful
Literally heard this two days ago on a date while I was driving home from watching Star Wars, one of the best nights of my life
Just saw them in concert. They are brilliant in concert!
already played this song like 50 times since its released , can't stop listening. what have you guys done!!!
Same. Over and over.
I've missed you, Young the Giant ❤️ Love this song, on repeat
Super, super excited. Never disappointed by anything you guys make.
I work in immigration and this song is one of those that keeps me going on the hard days. I don't know how you did it, but you somehow captured a slice of the lives and stories we see in a song. We see a lot of happiness and a lot of sadness. Thanks for making it feel less lonely.
I love this. I want more of this
This like the 100000 time I’m replaying this for weeks and it’s still not old to me
This is the song that bought me to ytg. Very catchy and the message is so good.
Met these great guys at ROTR in Jax FL 2 yrs ago nicest guys ever and they JAM!
This is the first song I've seen/heard by this band. I think I like them ❤️
Same here!
+David Andrade listen to mind over matter! It's amazing!!
Same this is why I love Fueled By Ramen, they have P!ATD, 21 pilots, this and vinyl theatre
Listen to island both recorded and the live version at 101.1 station. Oh and listen to mirrorball and firelight and camera. Oh oh and all their In The Open Sessions where they play all their songs in cool locations. Just listen to everything, you won't regret it.
Huge fan going to see their LA concert for this new album release.i have to say I'm extremely pumped up for This album.
I love this song. I just hate that I wanna sing along but, can't settle on the lyrics to it

There are two lead vocalists, and the quality of Francois' voice as the ambiance really kills it on this track!!!!
Agreed.
