Children
EMF (Epsom Mad Funkers) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold on to each reality
They seem so far from you
But really they're close to you
You've got to break each precious dream
Until it breaks you heart in two
Build your life until you find
What's right for you
Children, I know
You deserve, more than this world could ever give
Don't let them take it all
'Cause you know, they're going to take it all
They seem so far from you
But really they're close to you
You've got to break each precious dream
Until it breaks your heart in two
Build your life, until you find
What's right for you
Children, I know
You deserve more than this world could ever give
Long live the new flesh!
The EMF song "Children" is a powerful message to young people to hold onto their hopes and dreams despite the challenges they may face. The lyrics urge listeners to hold onto their lives and each reality, to break their precious dreams until they find what's right for them. The song acknowledges that the world may not always be fair or offer the opportunities that young people deserve, but that they need to keep fighting to achieve their goals. The final line of the song, "Long live the new flesh!" is a nod to the David Cronenberg film "Videodrome" and serves as a call to action to fight for change.
The lyrics of the song are open to interpretation, but they can be read as a message of hope, urging young people to keep pushing forward despite the obstacles they may face. The repetition of the phrase "They seem so far from you, but really they're close to you" is a reminder that although dreams may feel out of reach, they are still attainable with hard work and perseverance. The line "Don't let them take it all, 'cause you know, they're going to take it all" is a warning against giving up or compromising on what one truly wants.
