Latchkey Kids
Good Tiger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dont live with your ghost
He'll be running as we do it all
The hand you want
The hand you need
He'll never give it in to the sky
He filled our heads with moonlight
Gived in to the sky
He filled our heads with moonlight
Oh, no, stupid then to see where we were, what could have been
There is little time, don't waste it on god
Doesn't trust in your presence
The world you seek
The world you need
Never true
Gived in to the sky
He filled our heads with moonlight
Oh, no, stupid then to see where we were, what could have been
Gived in to the sky
He filled our heads with moonlight
Oh, no, stupid then to see where we were, what could have been
Speak for a reason
Sing in your apathy
The lyrics of the song Latchkey Kids by Good Tiger's are quite complex and open to interpretation. The first few lines may suggest that the singer is trying to help someone make a decision, but is warning them not to dwell on their past mistakes or regrets. The line "He'll be running as we do it all" could be an indication that the person is running away from their problems instead of facing them head-on. The next few lines are even more ambiguous, with the singer talking about a "hand" that makes an appearance throughout the song. This "hand" could represent anything from a guiding force to a personal demon.
The chorus seems to be addressing a higher power, telling it not to interfere in people's lives because it cannot be trusted. The line "The world you seek/The world you need/Never true" suggest that whatever people are searching for, they will never find it. This could be interpreted as a cynical view of life and human nature, or it could be a warning not to get too wrapped up in ideals and dreams that cannot be achieved.
The final lines of "Speak for a reason/Sing in your apathy" may suggest that people should only speak and sing when they have something worthwhile to say or express, rather than simply making noise for the sake of it. The song as a whole could be interpreted as a warning not to let negative influences or beliefs hold you back from achieving your goals, but to instead focus on what is truly important.

Let me help you choose
Don't live with your ghosts
You've been rolling dice for too long
The hand you want, the hand you need
You'll never get
Bit into the sky, we filled out heads with moonlight
Almost too vivid to see
Where we were what could've been
There is little time
Don't waste it on god
Dive in, trust in your presence
The worth you seek, the worth you need
You'll achieve
Bit into the sky, we filled out heads with moonlight
Almost too vivid to see
Where we were what could've been
Speak for a reason
Sink in your empathy

Nothing would fit better for the opening of this song than this deep breath. I can't imagine how they decided this, but I'm really glad they did.
