Young And Menace Lyrics

Cover art for Young And Menace lyrics by Fall Out Boy

Has Fall Out Boy gone way too fast for way too long? Okay, the basis of this song has a very evident meaning.

"We’ve gone way too fast for way too long." "Oh, I only wrote this down to make you press rewind, and send a message that I was young and a menace." "And I lived so much life, lived so much life"

Whoever the writer of this song may be, they are very metaphorically trying to communicate that their life has been crazy and they are now reflecting on it. This is evident by the "press rewind" lyric. What they are pressing rewind on is a life that was fast, bad, and fun. They considered themselves a menace when they were younger but it was what they considered the ideal romanticized living.

I don't know who the primary song-writer of this song was but it was most likely Pete. These seem like his lyrics.
