The first is a punk rock band from Denmark/Aarhus.
Founded by Jan Jet 1978 after a trip to Britain. Danish cover versions of 1st generation punk songs were frequent in the early repertoire, which were revitalized by Jan Jets fresh word-games.
Heavy drug problems took its toll of the band through the 80's and numerous lineup changes followed.
Concerts played around 2000 contained full solosets from other members too.
Jan Jet is still today occasionally playing and releasing material as Lost Kids.
Background story:
Under a concert with the American rock/punk band The Tubes at the concert hall “Daddys Dancehall" in Copenhagen Jan Jet ran into the women's toilet, where he accidently meets a journalist who was very interested in his “punk-outfit” he told the journalist, that Jan Jet was in a punk band in Aarhus, even knowing that he didn’t have any band and made a date with a interview next week with the punk band in Arhus.
Jan Jet was now in hurry to getting home to Arhus to gather some friends for a band and making music, before the journalist would show up.

Overdose
Lost Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
E sassi trasformarsi nei miei soli amici
E ho camminato con i piedi scalzi passi più lunghi delle mie radici
Ho visto lacrime diventare passi solo dopo aver bagnato le radici
(Ed ora)
Vedo foglie arrugginite dall'autunno che passa
E già mi treman le mani non è l'inverno che bussa
Ma L'ho scritto nei miei sguardi sotto polvere e calce e le palpebre pesanti
Hai pesato le parole sul piatto del bilancia e me ne hai data una dose sperando fosse abbastanza a darmi quell'overdose quella che ti ho sempre chiesto
Io che (dia)farmi del male forse non ho mai smesso
Non ho mai smesso
Incubi fusi a
momenti cupi mi perdo ah
come in un libro di Lu in ma
vedo i mostri di Burton ya
Farò la fine di Kubrick morto nel sonno di infarto fra una botta sopra l'iPhone e una bottiglia di bourbon
Notti passate ad occhi spalancati mani fra i capelli come fossero le redini dei miei pensieri come a tirare i freni come a tirare fuori gli incubi dalla testa e ogni fantasma che
Dietro la maschera il mascara ti cola come sul foglio l'inchiostro non trovo risposta nelle due macchie di Rorschach
Hai pesato le parole sul piatto del bilancia e me ne hai data una dose sperando fosse abbastanza a darmi quell'overdose quella che ti ho sempre chiesto
Io che (dia)farmi del male forse non ho mai smesso
Non ho mai smesso
The lyrics of Lost Kids' song "Overdose" explore themes of transformation, struggle, and self-destruction. The first verse talks about witnessing friends turn into "stones" and stones become the only friends, symbolizing how relationships can become distant and cold. The singer mentions walking barefoot, taking long steps longer than their roots, suggesting a sense of displacement and searching for something beyond their current situation. Tears are described as turning into steps, implying that pain and hardships can lead to personal growth and forward progress.
The second verse continues with an imagery of decay and anticipation. The singer sees rusty leaves signaling the passing of autumn, and their hands trembling, not because winter is knocking, but due to their own inner turmoil. They admit to never asking for help directly but have written their distress in their eyes, hidden beneath dust and lime, emphasizing the heaviness and weariness they carry.
The chorus depicts a desperate plea for an overdose, a metaphorical desire for a release from the pain. The singer acknowledges that they may have never truly stopped hurting themselves, suggesting a pattern of self-destruction. The lyrics express a complex internal struggle, one that oscillates between seeking solace and succumbing to the darkness.

Ho visto amici trasformarsi in sassi
I have witnessed friends turning into stones
E sassi trasformarsi nei miei soli amici
And stones becoming my only friends
E ho camminato con i piedi scalzi passi più lunghi delle mie radici
And I have walked barefoot steps longer than my roots
Ho visto lacrime diventare passi solo dopo aver bagnato le radici
I have seen tears turning into steps only after wetting the roots

(And now)
Vedo foglie arrugginite dall'autunno che passa
I see rusted leaves as autumn passes by
E già mi treman le mani non è l'inverno che bussa
And my hands are already trembling, it is not winter knocking
E non ho mai chiesto aiuto
And I have never asked for help
Ma L'ho scritto nei miei sguardi sotto polvere e calce e le palpebre pesanti
But I have written it in my eyes under dust and lime and heavy eyelids
Hai pesato le parole sul piatto del bilancia e me ne hai data una dose sperando fosse abbastanza a darmi quell'overdose quella che ti ho sempre chiesto
You weighed the words on the scale plate and gave me a dose hoping it would be enough to give me that overdose that I have always asked for
Io che (dia)farmi del male forse non ho mai smesso
Me, who never stopped hurting myself
Non ho mai smesso
I never stopped

Nightmares fused with dark moments, I lose myself, ah

Nights spent wide-eyed, hands through hair as if they were the reins of my thoughts, pulling the brakes, pulling out nightmares from my head and every ghost that
Dietro la maschera il mascara ti cola come sul foglio l'inchiostro non trovo risposta nelle due macchie di Rorschach
Behind the mask, mascara runs like ink on paper, I find no answer in the two Rorschach blots

You weighed the words on the scale plate and gave me a dose hoping it would be enough to give me that overdose that I have always asked for

If losing your big brother to drugs isn't enough of a lesson, what is?
Sorry for everyone.

I agree, there is personal responsibility there.

As a mother who lost her 21 y/o son to fentanyl, thank you for being so aware of a problem that is killing a generation…there needs to be mandatory education with fentanyl in every school. But there is not. This poor family loss is horrible. You can tell the remaining sibling is trying to hold it together for her parents,but I guarantee she is pained to her core
myhorsemyheart
I tried to talk about fentanyl with my niece...she's in her early 20s. Her parents got angry at me. They have "not MY child syndrome"! I don't care how angry parents get... it could save their kids life to hear about the dangers of fentanyl!!!!
I hate that this happened to your family. It definitely should be discussed in school at an elementary level. Kids as young as 12 are dying.
