Kids Again
Example Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll laugh in the face of teachers
We'll see wherever we wanna see
Run away from home they'll never reach us
I wanna feel oh so young today
I don't wanna do whatever they tell me
I wanna feel oh so young today
So let's behave like kids again
Let's behave like kids again
Kids again, kids again
Let's behave like kids again
We'll be whoever we wanna be
Behave like despicable creatures
We'll see wherever we wanna see
We don't need Nintendo's, or Adidas
I wanna feel oh so young today
I don't wanna do whatever they tell me
I wanna feel oh so young today
So let's behave like kids again
Kids again, kids again
Let's behave like kids again
Bring your friends, let's pretend
Let's behave like kids again
Let's behave like kids again
I'm happy with you, but I need the truth
And I miss my youth, it was oh so simple
I'm happy with you, but I need the truth
And I miss my youth, it was oh so simple
Kids again, kids again
Let's behave like kids again
Kids again, kids again
Let's behave like kids again
Let's behave like kids again
I'm happy with you, but I need the truth
And I miss my youth, it was oh so simple
I'm happy with you, but I need the truth
Let's behave like kids again
The main theme of Example's song "Kids Again" is about nostalgic memories of youth, and the desire to relive them. The song encourages listeners to forget their adult responsibilities and social norms, and reminisce about the careless and simple days of their childhood. The lyrics suggest a sense of freedom and rebellion, urging the listener to be whoever they want to be, to laugh in the face of authority figures, and to imagine a world beyond reality.
The first verse establishes the tone of the song, proposing escapism as a means of breaking free from the monotony of everyday life. The lyrics suggest the idea of running away from home as a way of evading the demands of society, and a call-to-arms for listeners to behave like kids once again. The chorus repeats the concept of immaturity, with the singer declaring a desire to feel young again.
The second verse is a further expansion of the idea of childhood freedom, this time suggesting unacceptable behavior and the rejection of consumer culture as a means of shaking off societal norms. The lyrics indicate that the singer needs to regain that feeling of simplicity and invokes the past as a guide for achieving that. Overall, the song's message is to remind people to let go of the worry and constraints of adulthood, and to re-embrace the innocence and joy of childhood.
