"Dying Youth" as written by and Jesse/vodinh Hasek....
Deep under the surface I keep the love.
Older and aware of a hidden universe.
I pray to be young and pray to be inspired.
Words of your tongue blister like fire.
I can't let you go.
Slow down don't leave.
Dying days of my youth.
Over take me.
There is a glimpse of death in your eye's.
I'm not prepared to let out those cries.
I plead to stay young soon will be expired.
So lost in denial.
I can't let you go.
Slow down don't leave.
Dying days of my youth.
Over take me.
Reach in her womb shelter from strived.
Baring the gifts, burdens of life.
I pray to stay young but soon will be expired.
The age of innocence long sense gone.
I can't let you go.
Slow down don't leave.
Dying days of my youth.
Over take me.
Fools who for looking back word.
Chose to live as statues frozen fracture.
Youthful laughter.
Older and aware of a hidden universe.
I pray to be young and pray to be inspired.
Words of your tongue blister like fire.
I can't let you go.
Slow down don't leave.
Dying days of my youth.
Over take me.
There is a glimpse of death in your eye's.
I'm not prepared to let out those cries.
I plead to stay young soon will be expired.
So lost in denial.
I can't let you go.
Slow down don't leave.
Dying days of my youth.
Over take me.
Reach in her womb shelter from strived.
Baring the gifts, burdens of life.
I pray to stay young but soon will be expired.
The age of innocence long sense gone.
I can't let you go.
Slow down don't leave.
Dying days of my youth.
Over take me.
Fools who for looking back word.
Chose to live as statues frozen fracture.
Youthful laughter.

"The words of your tongue blister like fire."
The couple/people become separated and one person is in depression. He/she longs to be young again to experience the days they shared together. The "dying days of my youth" are memories that continuously fill the person's head.
This song is about a broken heart.
The person cannot let go of his past, and he doesn't wish to forget those things, hence the "slow down, don't leave."
"The days of innocence long since gone" shows that he misses those days, and he wants to keep those memories of innocence.
"Those who
Are looking backwards
Chose to
Live as statues
Frozen fractured
Youthful laughter
Fades"
The sick reality here is that there are people who cannot let go of their past, and they eventually become so fixated on it that they're are like "statues" since they cannot stop looking to their past. However, eventually everything does fade.
This is just what I've interpreted, however, and your interpretation also seems as though it could be right!
Only way to find out exactly what it means is to talk to the band! ;)
i like what you added
Great song though. Easily one of my favorites of theirs.
"Reach in her womb
Sheltered from strife
Bearing the gifts
And burdens of life"
And the father is looking back on his life years later and realizes
that he has been trying to hold on to his "age innocent," which
causes the couple to argue.
"I pray to be young
And pray to be inspired
But the words of your tongue
Blister like fire"
But together they realize that they have to grow up and take responsibility.
"Those who
Are looking backwards
Chose to
Live as statues
Frozen fractured
Youthful laughter
Fades
I can't let you go
Slow down
Don't leave
Dying days of my youth
Over take me"
That's just the way I took it.
