Kids
MGMTᄀ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crawling on your knees toward him
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
The song "Kids" by MGMT is a reflective piece about childhood and growing up. The first verse speaks to the innocence of children, crawling on their knees and making their mother proud, but also highlights the fact that children can be loud and impulsive with no thought for consequences. The chorus then tells the listener to "control yourself" and take only what is needed from life, with the metaphor of a "family of trees wanting to be haunted" representing a desire for something more in life.
The second verse switches to the perspective of the singer as an adult, with the line "The water is warm but it's sending me shivers" suggesting that they have reached a point in life where they are uncomfortable with the status quo. The final two lines of the verse speak to the ephemeral nature of memories and decisions, with decisions being made but not necessarily being the right ones.
The chorus is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the central message of taking only what is needed and being in control. The final line, "A family of trees wanting to be haunted," serves as a haunting reminder that life is not just about material possessions or superficial experiences, but also about the deeper connections and experiences we have with others and the world around us.
