Bring Me The Horizon "mother tongue" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified 

I’m so happy that people who don’t know about Oli are commenting things like ‘he seems nice’ and ‘Wow, this is a *real* artist’, because he is both of those things and he is very sound.

Finally the lyrics that actually need the explanaitons.

He’s healed and grown healthy in miles and leaps and bounds since I’ve been watching him over the years. A long way from Suicide Season.

Oli: It comes in waves My emo ass: ... Oli: Me: I CLOSE MY EYES, HOLD MY BREATH AND LET IT BURY ME

“It’s a vibe innit”

i was so sad when he and hannah broke up, just because i saw how heartbroken he was. but he’s so in love now and it’s so beautiful to see, so happy for him

“ Bein soppeh or musheh” he’s amazing

He’s so underrated honestly. He writes great music and is a great person who has come such a long way.

Finally oli Sykes this is way better than backpack kid

Ya know I've been listening to bring me the horizon since I was 8 and I always wondered when they would be recognized more. 11 years later here they are. I'm very happy for them.

the part where they both started crying is goals its like they both just got each other it sounds really emotional

I've loved this man since i was in middle school😍😍😍😍

This is the dude who all the modern rappers get their style from. Don’t get it twisted.

Finally a real artist that has a brain on this channel

i know you know meh you don´t have to show meh (its a joke, chill. I love them. and olis accent is amazing lol ))

He's genuinely happy and inlove and it shows tbh.

No one: Oli in every interview: like you know

I wish it was medicine instead or heavy metal. they have tons of great lyrics on this amo album

finally a *GOOD* artist with *REAL* music

Shout out too all the fanfics i wrote about him 2010-2015

Lmaoo i remember these dudes had me telling people "there is a hell, believe me ive seen it". Idk what happened to BMTH, but i guess its cool.

Y’all finally started doing good people again🥵

I feel like a lot of people aren’t gonna know who this is unless they actually listen to the band. I don’t know that many people in my personal life who know of them so that’s why I say that.^

I know you know MEH You don’t ave ta show MEH

The way he says “soppy” and “mushy” is the cutest thing 🖤

I remember listening to this man back when he rocked pink high shorts on stage and tickets were $5 a person.. It's crazy how much BMTH has evolved. Zero complaints I've been a fan for 11 years

this was the best genius interview ever. he is literally such a sweetheart oh my god

IM FUXKING CRYING BRING ME THE HORIZON IS MY NUMBER ONE FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME I RECENTLY SAW THEM AND IT WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE 😭😭😭😭😭

First artist that actually explains the lyrics

This is the cutest thing I've ever seen

Thank you for this song. The first time my fiance and I listened to it we looked at each other and immediately teared up. Mother tongue is going to be our first dance as a married couple and I know we will both be crying.

Finally bmth made it to genius 😭😂😂💯❤️❤️🖤

Oli: 2:56 Me: I CLOSE MY EYES, HOLD MY BREATH AND LET IT BURY ME

This song never fails to make me BAWL MY EYES OUT

He has changed so much and I am very proud of him. He seems happier. Even though I loved BMTH's earlier music I don't find their current genre bad. It's good to see Oli thrive.

this is the first video from genius that actually got me REALLY hooked with the explanation. the lyrics got a whole backstory and some deep feelings in it. simply beautiful.

Mumble rapper fans be like : wtf is this new rapper? You'll know him when you open their stuff back in 2006's.

I'm so happy this happened. I really feel blessed, this man right there has got some CRAZY talent. Even tho there should be a genius video where they interview the rest of the band and let them explain the instrumental part thooo ahahahaha

I’m so happy to see fans supporting the band after all these years and transformations! I’ve been listening to BMTH since 2011! They’ve been through so much shit and I’m so interested to learn about and know the struggles they’ve faced in each album.

My heart is sw0llen this is so precious I'm so happy for him

Am I weird if I would never get tired of hearing him talk?

its weird cause he looks like he could be an emo rapper lol

Huge step up from "backpack kid"

WHATT BMTH??? Nice

YAAS BMTH

Please get Alex Turner on here it would be so funny and iconic

Why does he look so attractive sitting like that-

Oli’s lyrics have always bee-well are mostly very good (as in not really the first EPs and album) but hey they have never been terrible, what I’m trying to say is: if you want too see the songs about that struggle, those ‘left turns’, then listen to something like ‘it never ends’ and/or ‘hospital for souls’ and/or ‘blessed with a curse’. :)

Seeing him so deeply happy and in love gives me much hope 💕

This is so good genius really upping their game

4:48 I still don’t know what “being wet” means, thanks for the explanation

Never thought I’d see bmth on genius but I’m happy

honestly, I love you guys so much, you really don't have to push yourself that hard. We(old fans & new fans alike) would rather see you healthy and singing new songs than being damaged and singing old songs. Please take care of yourself.

he's so genuine, i love everything about this. i love everything about him and i hope him and alissa r gonna b happy and in love for a rly long time.

The only Good artist In this Show

OMG OLIIII I LOVE HIM SO MUCH 😭😭😭 bmth is such a good band, all of them are amazingggg

Man it feels so weird to see this band I've been listening to since I was 13 finally become mainstream after 15 years of existing. Now people who don't really listen to metalcore and even rock will know about the band. Pretty wild. Even though they sound different I'm glad they're still around.

HOW DARE YOU GENIUS. HOW FRICKIN DARE. THIS SHOULD BE THE ONLY VIDEO ON YOUR CHANNEL

I've been a fan of bmth since I was little and Oliver always gave me happy puppy feels, idk how to explain it better. He just seems like that sweet guy who you'd love to chat and hang around with, I hope to have a chance to say hi to him soon, he's my favourite artist

he’s such a down to earth person, wow

Watching him explain mother tongue is honestly somewhat relatable,they’ve been making music which is relatable so there’s a reason y I still really mF love them😔😔😔😔😔😢😢😢😢😢

Omg that was BEAUTIFUL 😭 absolutely one of my favorite songs. Thank you, Ollie and Alissa and BMTH. AND THANK YOU GENUIS FOR THIS ❤️

I’ve been listening to Bring Me the Horizon for 7 years and I love each new thing they’ve done

so glad you guys brought oli on! he’s a great lyricist

I love how everyone is saying finally a real artist. I love BMTH, but they have such powerful and meaningful songs that talk about religion, depression, addiction, etc. and they have such good lyrics, but the song that Genius chooses to ask about is the pop song about love. How about you ask Oliver - or the whole band- to talk about songs from Sempiternal or -if that's not mainstream enough for you- That's the spirit? I like the cute and heartwarming story behind the song, and I am happy for Oliver. However, I can't connect as much to this music, so it bothers me that the media are making a big deal out of it. Their old songs were fucking amazing, and no one gave them the recognition they are getting now that they sound more poppy.

I was never a fan of this kind of music (mostly bc I only heard mainstream pop) but in the last months I started getting really into it and bmth is one of my favorites

Just saw bmth last night at the forum and it was absolutely one of the best nights of my life. They are an incredible band and Oli has so much stage presence and was dancing and even crowd surfed on top of us. Can't wait to see them again!

I ll never get over this accent, it s cute and weird.

Saw him live... Was totally worth the 6 hours standing outside. The experience was insane

he's so shy and adorable , my baby

This is why I decided to get a Fala amo tattoo; saying you love someone & showing it your way are entirely different, & he said it perfectly.

Oliver looks alright now. The last time I heard or listened to BMTW oli barley had a voice left. He’s doing so well now :)

Got an add for a cover of nihilist blues on this video lol. Pretty cool. Nihilist blues was my fav off the new album.

eu amo tanto esse homem que eu nao consigo explicar, de verdade

this was the love song dedicated to someone more beautiful than I have ever seen 💜💜

My dude looks so healthy im so happy

I've been a fan of BMTH since their death core days so this is really cool to see. Glad they're finally getting noticed!

*PURE QUALITY*

2:55 It comes in waves, i close my eyes, hold my breath and let it bury me

If only “Genius” was around when sleepwalking came out

I haven't checked on Oli in a long time and I'm so glad he's found love

I haven’t listened to them since Sempiternal...Still one of my favorite albums of all time. ♥️

"...I'm trying my best to describe how it feels when you first fall in love and how mentaly is two people from different sides of the planet can feel so connected..." never thought i could feel like this and this is why i love mother tongue, beacuse i never thought i could find my love so far away from home

I got to see him in November and i managed to get front row at their concert and honestly it was one of my best experiences ever. No matter how many people bash on that album it's an artwork and oli is amazing.

The concert was honestly amazing!! 030

wow never thought this would happen

Loved Oli when I was in middle school and I still love him now. I’ll always love bmth

These guys made it so far. I'm proud of them

Favorite band sences 2004 they've come a long way 😭😭😭

i literally watched this about a thousand times.. and i never get tired of it i love Oli and bmth 🖤

Im so happy they did this cause this is my favorite song right now😭❤️

I’ve been a fan for 4 years now, i’ve seen them 3 times. I have so much love and respect for this band and they have helped me , and are still helping me trough stuff.

Y'all finally got my father on Genius

BMTH and Oli have matured so much. This album is hands down the best thing they’ve ever written.

The way he talks about Alissa makes my heart happy 😊 💓

Hearing Oli really go in depth about the sing, really brings tear to my eye. It’s like you get to feel their emotions, be in their shoes. I think it’s absolutely amazing. So much meaning in a 3 1/2 minute song.

Hell fucking yeah I love BMTH and I love this song

Some of you don't even know the old bmth and it really shows.

Mother tongue is one of my favorite songs from amo
