The Kid
Adam Jensen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the room full of liers
nothing gets me any higher
trying to stay sober
try to stay clean
let me
like a bad dream
mamma doesn't call
no one's going to worry
notice when I am gone
I bewn nobody
I am a fig, a pretender
one more to the chest
there's no angels where I go
Adam Jensen's song "The Kid" captures the essence of a lonely and troubled individual who feels misunderstood and isolated from the world around them. The opening line "got a head full of spiders" is a metaphor for the singer's scattered thoughts and restless emotions that they cannot quite get a handle on. The following line "the room full of liers" suggests that the singer feels that the people around them are dishonest and that they cannot find anyone genuine enough to connect with.
The next line "nothing gets me any higher" is indicative of the singer's struggle with addiction and their difficulties in finding ways to cope with their internal struggles. The lines "trying to stay sober, trying to stay clean" point towards the singer's desire to stay away from their vices and to overcome their addiction. Despite their best efforts, however, the singer feels that their reality is akin to a "bad dream."
The lines "no one's going to worry, notice when I am gone, I've been nobody" showcases the singer's feelings of insignificance and loneliness, highlighting how they feel that no one cares about them despite their efforts to stay sane. The final lines "I am a fig, a pretender, one more to the chest, there's no angels where I go" reflect the singer's sense of resignation, their conviction that they are merely going through the motions of life without truly being able to find a sense of belonging or hope. It underscores their belief that they are on the path to self-destruct, with no redemption in sight.

The lyrics if you want
[Verse 1]
Growing up, black and blue, that shit eats away at you
Beat up when I go to school, beat up by my father too
Livin' life in a haze, dug myself a shallow grave
Probation on Saturday's, can't look in my mother's face
Sellin' drugs on the street, won't give no apologies
'Cause I am what the universe made me...
[Chorus]
Take a step back and put your hands up, don't do anything stupid
Gimme that cash, fill the bag up 'cause nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid
[Verse 2]
Drinkin' slow, dyin' fast, fill me up another glass
Gotta make it outta here, can't become my biggest fear
Spendin' nights in a cell, built my own version of hell
No one comes to bail me out, better shut your f**kin' mouth
Livin' low, gettin' high, watch my crooked soul die
I do what I gotta do to get by..
[Chorus]
Take a step back and put your hands in, don't do anything stupid
Gimme that cash, fill the bag up 'cause nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid
[Bridge]
How did I get to be... (so low)
How did I get to be... so low
Fallin' 'part at the seams, feelin' my ugly veins bleed
I am what this crooked world made me...
[Chorus]
Take a step back and put your hands up, don't do anything stupid
Gimme that cash, fill the bag up 'cause nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid
No nothin's gon' stop this kid, no nothin's gon' stop this kid

I love the way the voice falls on "Nothin's gonna stop this kid"! It gives it such a somber mood. Great music as always!
