5 6 Kids
Bear v.s Shark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 killers and hips are for running...
When the cities have the same names that ring out in your head
Pictures are the poison darts and this is not a plea
A thousand mile pitchfork and another one got caught
Upwards to the heavens where another one gets off
What we got here and what we didn't know here now
We're high school sweethearts tied by light and sound
Disconnected party song, dragons on the boulevard high
Every light on the street has a story
Every street and their story the same
You were born, they put roses in windows
You were born, holding windows as eyes
It's about burning questions
Holding books, holding questions as spines
And its been a mighty long time since the business left town
A burning question that can filter through our eyes
We're high school sweethearts tied by light and sound
Disconnected party song, dragons on the boulevard high.
Dog eats the man, man eats the dog
These are the facts, live in your chicken shit house
'Cause I was there, and I looked for you
But these are the ways I react clawing out of a:
But these are the ways I react clawing out of a:
What we got here and what we didn't know here now
A burning question that can filter through our eyes
We're high school sweethearts tied by light and sound
Disconnected party song, dragons on the boulevard high
I never had any courage, outrageous faith without asking...
The lyrics of Bear v.s Shark's song "5 6 Kids" are one of those enigmatic and metaphorical musings that refuse easy interpretation. That said, the song seems to be using violent imagery to describe something much less tangible — an internal feeling of unrest or dissonance. The repeated line "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 killers with lightning in their guns" evokes images of a group of dangerous outlaws. The phrase "and hips are for running" suggests that people are trying to escape something terrible, possibly danger or fear. The lyrics suggest being trapped in a world where everything is the same, and the only escape is through transformative art.
The line "pictures are the poison darts, and this is not a plea" is open to interpretation - it could mean that images are powerful and persuasive or suggest that the images we see are meant to deceive us. The "thousand-mile pitchfork" is a particularly vivid image. It could be a call to action or an allusion to an irretrievable past. The song's structure is circular, and its complexity and depth defy any straightforward interpretation. The lyrics remain suggestively evocative, imparting a sense of turmoil, confusion, and a need for change.
