KIDS
Adrian and the Spadilles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to get really bad thoughts inside my head
My mom used to worry that she would find me dead
I’m on one bad trip, my friends are eating bread
All fucked up and they threw up on the bed
I used to party hardy and stay up past the dawn
Now I hardly party, and all my friends are gone
I’ve been getting lonely I’ve been feeling withdrawals
I’ve been getting stoney, smoking weed until I’m gone
I’ve been getting Stoney, smoking weed until I’m gone
I used to always disappoint my parents
Since I was a youngin’ I would never eat my carrots
I’m used to always being transparent
I was the quiet kid, kept my music blaring
I used to keep some really bad bitches in my contacts
Might’ve fucked them all, now we all lost contact
It all makes sense when I put it into context
One fun night, it was all just bad sex
One nights stands, lead to one man bands
When the girls are gone and you’re on your own




And you’re all fucked up, and you need some help
And you look around, but you’re by yourself
