Like much of YUNGBLUD’s discography, “Weird!” aims to make listeners feel less alone in their struggles. In early December 2019, he shared that he was taking a break from social media to work on his second record, then teased the lyrics to the song just days later.

weird! Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 lying
[Pre-Chorus]
Only those who are asleep don't make mistakes, get no critique
Seems everybody's worried 'bout the things that we are thinking
And when the remedy's the enemy
Hide self-deprecation up your sleeve
And self-serving friends who leave when you are sinking
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Only those who are awake will make mistakes, then learn to face
Everybody worried about the things that we are thinking
And the enemy's the remedy
Take the self-deprecation up your sleeve
And say fuck the friends who leave when you are sinking
[Chorus]
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

ridwemeitfofeil
If you unscramble the letters, you get “weird time of life,” one of the main lyrics of the chorus.
Where was this song written?
Matt Schwartz, YUNGBLUD’s producer and co-writer, shared a screenshot from YUNGBLUD’s Instagram of the cover art with the caption
We wrote it in Spain about 5 months ago and it’s so relevant to what’s going on. Can’t wait for you to hear it!
What artists inspired the song's sound?
YUNGBLUD told NME in April 2020:
I was going for an LCD Soundsystem and Depeche Mode thing. I wanted a naivety to the song because this is a coming of age record.
What else has the artist said about the song?
Almost everything I’ve said here, in one song. It’s about trying to catch smoke and feeling like the floor’s going to move under you. And it has one of the most emotional lines on the album—‘I want luck. I want love. Sharing earphones on the bus, and wake up next to you in Glasgow.’ I just saw me in...
