Cool Kids
Echosmith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Like the cool kids
The lyrics to Echosmith's song Cool Kids address the theme of feeling like an outsider, longing to fit into a certain crowd. The opening verses feature a protagonist who sees a group of people walking in a straight line, all with the same heartbeat, but she feels that she does not belong to that crowd. She realizes that these "cool kids" are invincible and that she's just in the background. The chorus reflects her desire to emulate them, to be one of the "cool kids" who fit in, who seem to have it all.
The subsequent verses feature a male protagonist who sees the same group of people talking with a big smile, seemingly living the good life, but he knows that they haven't got a clue about his struggles. They are driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going. He also wishes that he could fit in, be like the "cool kids."
The song's chorus repeats this longing, which brings to light the issue of conforming to societal norms, particularly for teenagers. The song portrays the desire to be popular, to fit in, to be accepted, and the emotional toll that it could take on teenagers who feel like they don't belong, like they don't fit in.
