"mars" lyrics
"mars"
And she was only 17
Had the saddest pair of eyes that you ever seen
Wore them lips in the cold, it was matching green
But she can't be herself when she's somebody else
In the morning, she would take her mother's wedding ring
But school got pretty tough when they see it gleam
So she hid herself under the mezzanine, reenacting scenes, yeah
She dreams she'd go to California
There, everyone would adore her
And all her mates will call her
Till 4 in the morning
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Yeah, yeah
Every morning, she would wake up with another plan
Yeah, her mum and dad, they couldn't understand
Why she couldn't turn it off, become a better man
All this therapy eats away gently
And the side of her mind that she never had
Yeah, this story told too many times, it makes me sad
I bet her author made a fortune on her autograph
Give her her money back 'cause
She dreams she'd go to California
There, everyone would adore her
And all her mates will call her
Till 4 in the morning
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Yeah, yeah
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Yeah, yeah
Do you feel like you're irrelevant?
Do you feel like you're irrelevant?
Do you feel like you're just scared as fuck?
Do you feel like you're irrelevant?
Do you feel like you're irrelevant?
Do you feel like you're just scared as fuck?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Yeah, yeah
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Yeah, yeah
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?
Is there any life on Mars?

YUNGBLUD told the following about the inspiration behind "Mars" during an interview at Paaspop Festival, "I remember on Vans Warped Tour, it was kinda crazy, I remember this one girl came up to me and she said that she had a sex change, she was formerly a boy and that my music helped her get through that and feel that her identity—it was okay to be herself. And that was fucking crazy for me, and I can tell you that there's a song on the new album, about her, and how inspiring it was to kind of help someone like that."
Sharing the cover art of this song on Twitter on the 25th of November 2020, YUNGBLUD commented, "the most important thing we've ever made is out tomorrow. MARS. 12am midnight (local time) 9pm (for pacific). video friday 5pm (gmt). is there any life on mars?"
Dominic Harrison, the real name of YUNGBLUD, told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column about this track,
"There's a song called Mars which is important to me 'cause I had a trans man come up to me and say my track 'Kill Somebody' last year helped his parents with the community he wanted to be in. He told me about his story, about how nobody understood him, and it clicked with me because it reminded me of 'Life On Mars' by David Bowie – so I'm paying homage to that."
