But above all, Lacrosse is five boys and one girl making fantastic pop music. From a basement in Stockholm, Lacrosse brings you love and happiness in songs so catchy that you can't help singing along! With a lot of energy, two intense lead vocalists, incredibly sweet guitar melodies and blazing drum beats, Lacrosse is the musical equivalent of endless summer nights when the world is young and beautiful and everything seems possible. The band was formed in 2005 and they released their debut album This New Year Will Be For You And Me in 2007. Their second album Bandages for the Heart was released two years later, in 2009. Two songs of Lacrosse can be heard in Daniel Espinosa's feature film "Outside Love". Their song You Can’t Say No Forever is featured in Estrella Damm's 2012 summer ad. Estrella Damm is a locally well-known catalan brewery that has already catapulted independent bands in previous years.

We Are Kids
Lacrosse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you look the other way, you think all of it will disappear
But I'm sad to say that's not how it works

It's been cold since October, it's been dark all my life
Except for moments that I'm trying hard not to forget

Well, it happened overnight, no it happened little by little
I was surprised but I knew it all along

We need a recount, we need a recount
We need a second opinion and a judge

We need a recount, we need a recount
We need a second opinion and a judge

I read in a book somewhere, something like everyone can change
And I wish I could apply it on myself

Cause I've been trying to think twice, and be considerate and nice
Except for moments that I'm trying hard just to forget

Well, it happened overnight, it happened one step at the time
I was surprised, at the same time I was not

We need a recount, we need a recount
We need a second opinion and a judge

We need a recount, we need a recount
We need a second opinion and a judge

We are kids and we can't decide, no no no. We are kids and we can't decide
We are kids and we can't decide, no no no. We are kids and we can't decide

We are kids and we can't decide, no no no. We are kids and we can't decide
We are kids and we can't decide, no no no. We are kids and we can't decide

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lacrosse's song "We Are Kids" address the theme of growing up and becoming more accountable for one's actions. The opening lines discourage turning a blind eye to problems, suggesting that avoidance will not make issues disappear. The singer acknowledges the difficulties of life and the challenge of trying not to forget moments of happiness in the midst of darkness. The lyrics also touch on the idea of personal growth, admitting to the struggle to be more considerate and kind. The refrain of "We need a recount, we need a second opinion and a judge" feels almost like a plea for guidance, a desire for something or someone else to hold responsibility for decision-making.

The song highlights the complexity of navigating life transitions and taking on increased responsibility. It is a reminder that even as we grow and mature, we are still figuring things out and can benefit from seeking guidance from others. The repeated chant of "We are kids and we can't decide" feels like an acknowledgement of the challenges of entering adulthood and recognizing that even when we feel like we should be able to make decisions on our own, we may still need help and support.

If you look the other way, you think all of it will disappear
Ignoring problems won't make them go away

But I'm sad to say that's not how it works
Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that

It's been cold since October, it's been dark all my life
Life has been tough and unpleasant for a while

Except for moments that I'm trying hard not to forget
There are some good memories that are worth holding onto

Well, it happened overnight, no it happened little by little
Change can sneak up on you and happen gradually

I was surprised but I knew it all along
It was a surprise, but deep down they always knew it was coming

We need a recount, we need a recount
We need someone to take a closer look at the situation

We need a second opinion and a judge
We need an impartial authority to give their assessment

I read in a book somewhere, something like everyone can change
They believe people have the ability to change

And I wish I could apply it on myself
They want to be able to change and improve as well

Cause I've been trying to think twice, and be considerate and nice
They're making an effort to improve their behavior and personality

Except for moments that I'm trying hard just to forget
Even though they're trying to improve, there are still some regrets they wish to forget

Well, it happened overnight, it happened one step at the time
Change can happen suddenly, but it's usually a series of small steps that build up to it

I was surprised, at the same time I was not
They were shocked, but also had a feeling it was coming

We are kids and we can't decide, no no no. We are kids and we can't decide
They feel inexperienced and not capable of making big decisions

We are kids and we can't decide, no no no. We are kids and we can't decide
They reiterate that even though they may want to make decisions, they don't feel qualified to do so
