MGMT Lyrics

(Five, four, three, two, one, ah)

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making mama so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
You pick the insects off plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees

“Kids” is a song that teaches empathy and moderation. As the track begins, it is meant to induce feelings of nostalgia, to bring the listener back to much simpler times… as a kid… innocent. As the melody progresses, so does the next stage of life. As you grow older, you begin to lose your innocence and fall into society’s ways. The artists warn of the impending struggle between good and bad and remind the listener to take in the world around them in moderation. As one grows older, they must try to maintain the happy-go-lucky attitude and love for the life they had as a kid.
The song is perfect for recognizing that the entirety of your youth is the glory days (especially your collegiate years), remembering to live in the moment and creating fond memories you will reminisce about in the future whenever you hear the familiar melody.
In an interview with Time Out London, Wyngarden describes the band’s mentality when writing the song: “We were just happy-go-lucky, going crazy on campus. But at the same time, we were nostalgic for childhood and there was the threat of post-college life coming.”
The “threat” of “post-college life” is surely a reference to impending adulthood. With that in mind, it makes a lot of sense that almost all of the adults in the official music video are portrayed as threatening monsters. In the end, it seems like MGMT is constantly inspired by this fear of growing up. Like Nietzsche and Twain (also referenced in the official music video) they express a cynicism for the adult world. Many of their songs are drenched with a nostalgia for the lost innocence of childhood that the adult world tends to steal away. “Kids” is a great example of all this. Sure, the song is upbeat, a bit random, and super catchy, but its meaning seems to be grounded in these universal emotions of fear and longing.

Mothers of this world, be there for your child. It needs unconditional love. This song awakes the feelings in me that not all mothers are as loving enough and that their children are thrown into this world without feedback. Without showing them validation, without reacting when they cry, without listening, without praise when they did something wrong.
It reminds me of my own mom...

I love the way this video portrays how the child sees things and his perspective of the harsh, ugly world around him, & his mom just sees "normal" life because its what she's grown used to seeing her whole life. She is desensitized & blind to what it really is that has him terrified..

Went to a festival type show with my 9or ten year old son 14 or 15 years ago. FM 949 independence jam, knew who these guys were but didn’t know this song. Saw the band members in the audience before their set talking to the fans, one girl made an mgmt needlepoint headband and one of the guys wore it. There were technical problems during their set and it took forever for it to start, but I’ll never forget sitting on a blanket with my kid and this song starting. Such an iconic moment me and my so talk about til this day.

When I saw this video, the kid reminded me of a friend's kid, about the same look and age, tho I doubt he would have been scared of those things. He was a very bold, precocious child and today he is six and a half feet tall at sixteen years of age.

Hey for everyone concerned about this kids wellbeing! There was a behind the scenes video posted and it showed the kid mostly being happy and playing with the sets. Anytime the kid was actually scared or distressed his mom usually came and comforted him till he was all better. The kid is probably doing just fine now :)

I never thought about the kid becuz I was jammin’ out but good to know!

@Frog Rana Dude... Take a break from the internet. You're making some pretty wild claims while substantiating absolutely nothing, and even if you linked to "evidence", it'd end up being from an overhyped blog masquerading as an "outlet" that's no better than any other op-ed dumping ground like Salon or Vice. The only thing you were even close to being correct on is that the FBI lists a few pedophile symbols like the swirly triangle... Which doesn't exist in this video.

This song brings me close to tears because of the memories it brings of my childhood. I was always playing Little Big Planet, and if you did too, you'll know where this is going. This song was EVERYWHERE. Knowing I won't be able to experience those times ever again because of the recent DDoS attacks bringing down the servers hurts. Not physically, but it's just sad. Nostalgia is powerful.

I went into my account on ps3 the other day, It kills my soul reading all the messages 2017-2019 from all these names I still recognize, That was like the peak of my memories as a kid going through into teen years, and all I have now of it hurts, and its scary to think it’s over, There’ll never be anything like lbp again with the way it had it’s own everything such in depth community pieces to take in, It hurts even more when it felt like it was my only place where I could be relevant, Me and my friend did so much on there and got a lot of plays and hearts, So many level ideas that wouldn’t make sense and only work on lbp and could be appreciated all abandoned now, All those songs I’ve made all those sackboy sticker panel statues I’ve made, wacky gadgets. And all these popular songs that were remixed on lbp hit me so hard like a train flying into a concrete wall 😔 Atleast I made my best friend on there, It was like stars aligning I wonder where I would have been today if had never accepted that dive in request from him, So many memories and growing up together, Messaging every single day even up till now, It’s been 5 years. Sorry for the essay of a comment I just really wanted to go off cause it weighs so much the feelings from all the things lbp has given me including this song

For the ones who care about the toddler:
The video has been criticized for its treatment of the toddler who appears to be truly frightened throughout the video, although it is stated on the MGMT website, "No children were harmed in the making of this video." Stereogum noted that the video "essentially polarized everyone old enough (but not too old) to know what the internet is." While MTV noted that "They really don’t make videos like this any more … mostly for legal reasons", The band later released a "behind the scenes" video through their official YouTube channel that shows the toddler laughing while interacting with the puppets and actors in monster costumes. ~Wiki

even though there IS a hidden intent behind this video, to me it just hurts to watch a toddler being in fear for this long time. i know i know the message blah blah and so on, it just doest feel right to me using the true fright of this young boy

@Supersonic Diesel The animated end says it all. The kid turns to hot dogs (a symbol for sick adults), the school of fish (plenty of fish), the mermaid (a symbol for a little girl who has been abused)

@Katharine Forsyth they admitted they were family and friends in costume and that he was "normalized" around the costumes so no it's not editing. That is what I heard and him being normalized doesn't mean he wasn't scared. This was not editing and doesn't show any earmarks of editing.
