About

“Youthless” is the fifth track off of Beck’s 2008 album “Modern Guilt”. The title is a lisped play on “useless”, but the meaning is reshaped into “lack of childhood”. The song is stuffed with Beck-like metaphors, and a dreary tone.

Youthless Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a bottomless pit that we've been climbing from
Just to get on level ground
Shake your seasick legs around
Dead of winter in a logo town
Signs of life are soft and flickering
Need a bed to lay my body down
Dead weight to carry down
Some static is lulling me to sleep
Hang your clothes on a chain link fence
In a junkyard say Amen
Your mouth is full of wordless hymns
And run-on sentences

[Chorus 1]
And they're helpless and forgetting
In the background holding nothing
And they're youthless and pretending
With their bare hands holding nothing

[Verse 2]
There's a million horses dragging down a monolith
With these trademarks so bereaved
Tied my leg to a barricade
With a plastic hand grenade
They tried to turn emotion into noise
Need a teleprompter for my life
Need a pipeline to the night
My body can't get no relief
And this life it goes by fast
You're treading water in the past
Trying to re-animate something that you can't understand

[Chorus 2]
And they're helpless and forgetting
In the background saying nothing
And he's youthless and forgetting
With their bare hands touching nothing

[Chorus 3]
And he's helpless and forgetting
In the background playing nothing
And he's youthless and pretending
With his bare hands holding nothing
