All The Other Kids Lyrics
All The Other Kids Lyrics :- The name of “Pumped Up Kicks”, the song that worked as a catapult into the world of stardom for the Los Angeles-originated Foster the People was dropped just ten years before, continues to shine the name of music worldwide. The catchy guitar riffs and the melodious singing of the singer Mark Foster of the trio Mark Pontius, Cubbie Fink created this infectious song which was released in 2010. The song catapulted the singer from the mass into worldwide fame over time.
The meaning of “Pumped Up Kicks.”
All The Other Kids Lyrics Although being a cheerful yet catchy alt-pop beat, it has an underlying dark story behind its light and funney spirit. Which was actually written by Foster, the piece tells about the psyche of a poorly man without a name riding the rails to the sea, whose name is alluded only once at the song’s beginning.
The story opens with Robert waking up after knowing that his mother is either dead or dying. His father is crying, and Robert stumbles upon the father’s firearm. It causes Robert to imagine himself wielding the gun while people run away from him in fear. The recurrent nag “You’d better run, run away from my gun” bluntly heightens that subconscious dreams which are unfathomable and dreadful. In fact, what is quite astonishing is that these fantasies are silly to the man himself and reside behind the boundary of his troubled mind.
In a ground-breaking interview with CNN Entertainment in 2012, Foster tapped directly on the genesis of his subsequent mental status fear over the skyrocketing teenage mental illness prevalence. The speaker seemed to be portraying a major fear that there might be a high incidence of such ”birth” among youth, which is thus the motivation for him to search the deep psychology behind it. “Pumped Up Kicks” thus presents a thoughtful and significant critique on the associated issues of not treating mental health when it comes to junior age group, by showing that a need for a change of attitudes and approaches towards solving such problems should arise.
Trauer Hit – Pumped Up Kicks (All the Other Kids) Lyrics
Robert’s got a quick hand.
He’ll look around the room,
he wont tell you his plan.
He’s got a rolled cigarette
hanging out his mouth.
He’s a cowboy kid.
Yeah! He found a six-shooter gun
in his dad’s closet, with the box of fun things.
I don’t even know what,
but he’s coming for you. Yeah, He’s coming for you!
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
Daddy works a long day.
He be coming home late, and he’s coming home late.
And he’s bringing me a surprise.
’cause dinner’s in the kitchen and it’s packed in ice
I’ve waited for a long time.
Yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger.
I reason with my cigarette,
Then say, “Your hair’s on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah?”
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
(Run, Run, Run, Run. Run, Run.
R-Run, Run, Run.
R-Run.
R-Run, Run, Run.
R-Run.
Run, Run.
Run, Run.
Run, Run, Run.)
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks,
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
THE BAND’S PERSPECTIVE
All The Other Kids Lyrics Mark Foster, the mastermind behind Foster The People’s music, has talked openly about the underlining story behind “Pumped Up Kicks.” And the fact that the sunny and up-beat song is a platform to address some of the very pressing issues surrounding mental health and youth violence show how deep the artists heed his music. In an illuminating CNN interview, Foster explains that he has penned the words from a “psychotic kid” for ‘purposedouble-entendremaking people talk about those important societal issues’.
One of the ways in which Foster achieved the much-needed awareness was by presenting the world through the eyes of an adolescent child who was mentally troubled and who had issues with gun violence. Via the hypnotic lyrics and the imagery filled rhymes, he knew he was going to provoke self-reflection and educate the world about the struggle that is of growing up today.
“Pumped Up Kicks” goes one step further beyond its simple, punky melodies and is a candid portrayal of both the pitfalls of the need for compassion, mindful of the implications of the need for compassion, and the mental health issues and eradication of youth violence in communities.
