KIDS
Current Joys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never use my brain
I only use my heart
And my imagination
I am just a kid
I always make mistakes
And I never say I'm sorry
I am just a kid
I've never seen the world
And I haven't quite decided
If I'm a boy or a girl
Oh I am just a kid
I'm afraid of the dark
But I'm obsessed with ideas
One day I'll go far
Oh I'm no longer a kid
And everything has changed
There's nothing in my heart
And lightning in my brain
So listen up you kids
And here what I say
Don't listen to your brain
And follow your dreams
"Kids" by Current Joys is a nostalgic reflection on the naïveté and creativity of childhood. The song begins with the assertion that the singer is just a kid, someone who prioritizes their heart and imagination over rationality. They freely admit to making mistakes and refusing to apologize for them because they consider them to be an integral part of their learning process. They also reveal that they haven't fully explored the world nor have they figured out their gender identity.
As the song progresses, the singer grows into an adult and seems to have lost their childlike wonder. They mention lightning in their brain, perhaps indicating a newfound awareness of the harsh realities of life, and lament the lack of warmth in their heart. However, they end the song by advising young listeners to prioritize their dreams over their rational thought processes.
The song is an ode to the innocence of childhood and offers advice to listeners of all ages. It encourages people to take risks and be unapologetically themselves.

I am just a kid
I am young and inexperienced
I never use my brain
I am not very intellectual
I only use my heart
I make decisions based on my feelings
And my imagination
My creativity guides me
I always make mistakes
I am not perfect
And I never say I'm sorry
I don't always take responsibility for my actions
Cause there mistakes that I made
My mistakes are part of my learning experience
I've never seen the world
I have limited experience and knowledge
And I haven't quite decided
I am still figuring out
If I'm a boy or a girl
My gender identity is not defined yet
I'm afraid of the dark
I have fears and insecurities
But I'm obsessed with ideas
I am passionate about my thoughts and beliefs
One day I'll go far
I have aspirations to achieve more
And everything has changed
As I grow up, my perspective has altered
There's nothing in my heart
I have lost my sense of innocence
And lightning in my brain
I am now more intellectual and quick-thinking
So listen up you kids
Take my advice
And here what I say
Pay attention to my message
Don't listen to your brain
Don't limit yourself to rational thinking
And follow your dreams
Pursue your passions and aspirations

It's truly terrifying growing up, but there's a way for us to stay kids forever:
- Be carefree
- Be curious
- Be active
- Have fun
- Play games with others
- Dress up in costumes
- Do weird things
- Feel free and joyful
Childhood is too short, so make the most out of it.

Oh, I am just a kid
I never use my brain
I only use my heart
And my imagination
Oh, I am just a kid
I always make mistakes
And I never say I'm sorry
'Cause there mistakes that I made
Oh, I am just a kid
I've never seen the world
And I haven't quite decided
If I'm a boy or a girl
Oh, I am just a kid
I'm afraid of the dark
But I'm obsessed with ideas
One day I'll go far
Oh, I'm no longer a kid
And everything has changed
There's nothing in my heart
And lightning in my brain
So listen up you kids
And hear what I say
Don't listen to your brain
And follow your dreams (I say)
@Mrkaru79
I wanna go back im still a kid but their so much need to do
I wanna be a new born i wanna re-live my life again
Everything is so hard
I want to give up so badly
Everyone makes fun of the games I play
My tics
Everything
Everything
Everything
I can't do anything without being monitored even just alittle
I remember sayinb"i wanna grow up to be you mommy"
Know I realize how hard it is I hate middle school
I hate IT
