## Lyrics

[Intro]

\*Phone rings\* Hello?

\*Phone rings\* Hello?

\*Phone rings\* Hello?

We're all made from the spawn of the devil!

[Verse 1]

In a place where they fail to inspire

I'm drinking the bleach so that I feel the fire

Inside is a riot but I'm in too deep

A mile in, a mile in

In a place where they think I'm a stranger

I'm shaving my face with a coke covered razor

I press hard so it goes in deep

A mile in, a mile in

[Chorus]

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

(Bang, bang, bang)

It's all bollocks

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

(Bang, bang, bang)

It's all bollocks

[Verse 2]

When I was younger I had a proper plan

Keep myself naive, take advice from the man

But I turned 17 and I saw in my head

He was blowing up the world with a ball point pen

Then, I met a person, I think I fell in love

A certain kind of love you can't find in drugs

But I fucked it up, needed alone time

It's like I killed myself, "I love you long time"

[Chorus]

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

(Bang, bang, bang)

It's all bollocks

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

(Bang, bang, bang)

It's all bollocks

[Bridge]

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century...

[Chorus]

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

(Bang, bang, bang)

It's all bollocks

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

I'm a 21st century liability

(Bang, bang, bang)

It's all bollocks

[Outro]

(I'm a 21st century liability)

(I'm a 21st century liability)

(I'm a 21st century liability)

(It's all bollocks)

We're all made from the spawn of the devil!

## Verified Annotations

On Genius YUNGBLUD annotated this song, verifying the meaning behind the lyrics.

* In a place where they fail to inspire / I'm drinking the bleach so that I feel the fire / Inside is a riot but I'm in too deep / A mile in, a mile in → *"I feel im being provided with no answers or inspiration, leading me to figure everything out by myself and thats confusing."*

* In a place where they think I'm a stranger / I'm shaving my face with a coke covered razor / I press hard so it goes in deep / A mile in, a mile in → *"Feeling misuderstood, neglected, having to take things to extreme levels and turning to drugs to provide answers to somehow feel accepted."*

* When I was younger I had a proper plan / Keep myself naive, take advice from the man / But I turned 17 and I saw in my head / He was blowing up the world with a ball point pen → *"This is about my naivety when i was young. The time before you take off the rose tinted glasses your parents give you and see the world from your own perspective. It is so much easier to remain ignorant about the world but i moved down to London at 16 and my whole perception of it changed."*

* Then, I met a person, I think I fell in love / A certain kind of love you can't find in drugs / But I fucked it up, needed alone time / It's like I killed myself, "I love you long time" → *"This is about the first person i ever loved, it didnt work out because i felt suffocated because i had too much going on in my head and got scared. I do regret ending it sometimes but ill love them forever and thats just part of life."*
