Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be, pretty brain dead!
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be, pretty brain dead!

You lock me out, you lock me in
You smoke my soul and I can't win
It's over now, before it begins
Just suck this salt to cleanse your sins
If I can't speak about the things
That make me sad, then I am weak
But I'm not strong either
I'm just a kid with a cold pretendin' it's a fever

I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be, pretty brain dead!

The mystery is not that hard
When you can read between the bars
Tongue trip's over, your fickle cheek
With the lies you tell and the shit you speak
I think you should clean your teeth
With guilty truths and liar's bleach
Adjusting the lighting
So I can't see the scars on your face fucking hiding

They find it hard to love you, no matter what they say
They're tryna get above you while laughing in your face
They find it hard to love you, no matter what they say
They're tryna get above you while laughing in your face

I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be, pretty brain dead!
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be pretty brain-dead




I just wanna be pretty brain-dead
I just wanna be, pretty brain dead!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to YŪNGBLŪD's song "braindead!" convey a sense of frustration and desire for escape from the pressures and expectations of the world. The repetition of the lines "I just wanna be pretty brain-dead" emphasizes the desire for simplicity and detachment from the complexities of life. The repeated use of the word "pretty" suggests a longing for a state of peaceful ignorance, where appearance takes precedence over deeper emotional turmoil and vulnerability.


The first verse speaks to feeling trapped and manipulated by others, represented by the lines "You lock me out, you lock me in / You smoke my soul and I can't win." The singer feels powerless and defeated, as if their true self is being stifled. The reference to sucking salt to cleanse sins may be symbolic of trying to cleanse oneself of the pain and negativity inflicted by others. The line "If I can't speak about the things that make me sad, then I am weak" highlights the importance of expressing emotions and the impact of suppressing them. However, the singer acknowledges feeling both weak and not strong, implying a struggle between vulnerability and strength.


The second verse alludes to the realization of deception and manipulative behavior from others. The line "The mystery is not that hard when you can read between the bars" suggests seeing through the facade and understanding the true intentions of the person being addressed. The mention of cleaning teeth with guilty truths and liar's bleach implies a desire for honesty and authenticity. The lighting metaphor indicates an intentional concealment of emotional scars and flaws, emphasizing the superficiality of the relationship with the deceitful individual.


Overall, "braindead!" expresses a desire for simplicity, detachment, and freedom from the negative influences and expectations of others. It explores themes of vulnerability, manipulation, and the struggle to find authenticity in a world filled with superficiality.
