If you're bored of Suburbia
If you're bored of Suburbia
Burn down your house, let's dance in the color of fire
If you're bored of Suburbia
If you're bored of Suburbia
If you're bored of Suburbia
If you're bored of Suburbia
If you're bored of Suburbia
If you're bored of Suburbia
Watch the go when start, you might get more than you asked for.
If you're bored of Suburbia
If you're bored of Suburbia
If you're bored of Suburbia
Go crash your car, make some friends in the hospital bar.
Life gets harder so you.
Keep swimming though ocean of youth.
There's nothing I would rather do than spend years growing with you.
But I'm bored of Suburbia
But I'm bored of Suburbia
But I'm bored of Suburbia
I'm bored of there can which go for miles and miles and miles.
I'm so bored of Suburbia
I'm so bored of Suburbia
I'm so bored of Suburbia
Bored of dead districts which the next to swings and real lives.
Life gets harder so you
Keep swimming though ocean of youth.
There's nothing I would rather do than spend years growing with you
There's nothing I would rather do than spend years growing with you
Sometimes I think you were right, I wasted my life by waiting so long.
I see the couples around town and faces in playground and wish you were wrong.
Sometimes I think you were right, I wasted my life by waiting so long.
There's miles between me and playgrounds.
And dream of a quiet life and a happy home.
The song "Suburbia" by I Heart Sharks is about feeling bored and disenchanted with suburban life. The repeated chorus of "If you're bored of Suburbia/Burn down your house, let's dance in the color of fire" expresses a desire to break free from the mundane and find more excitement and passion. The verses offer different options for shaking things up, including crashing a car and making friends in the hospital bar. However, the bridge reveals that the singer is also struggling with the idea of settling down and starting a family, feeling like they may have wasted their youth waiting for that kind of life.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but overall, the song seems to be about the tension between wanting to escape the monotony of suburban life and the fear of missing out on the stability and comfort it can provide. The repeated refrain of burning down the house and dancing in the fire could be seen as a metaphor for embracing chaos and risk-taking, while the bridge reflects a more introspective and conflicted perspective.
