Cool Kids
Echo Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She sees them walking in a straight line,
That's not really her style
And they all got the same heartbeat
But hers is falling behind
Nothing in this world could
Ever bring them down
Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in the background
And she says

I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

He sees them talking with a big smile
But they haven't got a clue
Yeah, they're living the good life
Can't see what he is going through
They're driving fast cars
But they don't know where they're going
In the fast lane, living life without knowing
And he says

I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

And they said
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

I wish that I could be like the cool kids
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it




I wish that I could be like the cool kids
Like the cool kids

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Echo Smith's song "Cool Kids" tell the story of two individuals who feel like outsiders looking in on the "cool kids" who seem to have it all. The first verse describes a girl who sees the "cool kids" walking in a straight line, all with the same heartbeat, while hers is falling behind. She knows that nothing in the world could bring them down, yet she feels invisible in comparison. The chorus has her wishing to be like the "cool kids" who seem to fit in effortlessly. In the second verse, a boy is depicted as watching the "cool kids" smiling and living the good life but not comprehending the struggles that he is experiencing. The "cool kids" drive fast cars but do not know where they are going, living in the fast lane without awareness. The chorus repeats again as the boy wishes he could be like the "cool kids" and fit in as they do.


The song resonates with many people who felt like outsiders or didn't fit in while growing up or in their everyday lives. It speaks to the desire to belong, to be accepted and to have a place in a group. It says that sometimes, fitting in can feel like the ultimate achievement. Yet, the song also highlights the cracks in the surface of the "cool kids'" façade, suggesting that their lives might not be perfect or without struggles.
