I heard this kindof catchy pop song yesterday, but I couldn't really hear all the lyrics, so when I got home I looked them up..
OMG
the song.. Pumped Up Kicks
wow the whole things is apparently about some kid who is about to kill all the rich kids at school and then go home and off his dad!
good grief.
Look up “Crazy B!tch” by Buckcherry from a couple years back. Top 100 in heavy rotation.
That song is infectious....and yes, the lyrics are very disturbing given the cheery sound of the backing music.
What is ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ about?
‘Pumped Up Kicks’ is about a kid that basically is losing his mind and is plotting revenge. He’s an outcast. I feel like the youth in our culture are becoming more and more isolated. It’s kind of an epidemic. Instead of writing about victims and some tragedy, I wanted to get into the killer’s mind, like Truman Capote did in ‘In Cold Blood.’ I love to write about characters. That’s my style. I really like to get inside the heads of other people and try to walk in their shoes.’
