Felony
Kilians Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We hide out, waiting for the blow out,
We wipe out until we live in comfort.

This is our life, this is our felony,
If you don't like it, why don't you just leave?

We hide out, wait until the night comes,
We turn into the things we used to run from.

This is our life, this is our felony,
If you don't like it, why don't you just leave?
This is out life, you should participate around
If you don't like it, why don't you just go, just go?

This is how life should be,
Making peace without felonies.
And this is how life should be like,
Making peace with the felonies tonight, tonight.

This is our felony, this is our felony,
This is our felony, this is our felony,




This is our felony, this is our felony,
This is our felony, this is our felony.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kilians's song "Felony" speak to a sense of resigned acceptance of a particular way of living. The opening lines - "We hide out, waiting for the blow out / We wipe out until we live in comfort" - suggest a sense of living on the margins, taking risks to get by and striving for a sense of security or stability. The repetition of "This is our life, this is our felony" drives home the idea that the subject of the song has come to terms with the fact that they are living outside of the law or accepted norms, and are okay with that. The line "If you don't like it, why don't you just leave?" underscores the defiant tone of the song, as if daring the listener to judge or condemn their way of life.


Later in the song, the idea of escape or running away appears again: "We turn into the things we used to run from." This line suggests a sense of circularity or inevitability - the subject of the song may be trying to get away from something, but ultimately ends up perpetuating the very behavior they were trying to avoid. The repeated refrain of "This is our felony" reinforces the idea that the song is about a way of life rather than a specific action or crime.


The chorus then takes a turn towards hopefulness, with the lines "This is how life should be / Making peace without felonies." While the subject of the song may have resigned themselves to a particular way of living, there is still a sense that they recognize it as being less than ideal. The repetition of "This is our felony" takes on a more wistful tone - it's still their way of life, but perhaps not the way they would have chosen if given other options.


Overall, the lyrics to Kilians's "Felony" explore themes of acceptance, defiance, and the struggle to find a sense of peace or security in a life lived outside of accepted norms.
