Kids
Mikky Ekko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, Imma let the future in, the future in
And take it all, make it all my own
Oh, into the fire we go again, we go again
We shake it off before we get too old

Sweet harmony, send as I know where to go
Sweet harmony, secret stop, what do I know?
Kids, kids, kids are gonna do what they want
Kids, kids, kids are gonna do what they want

Bottle and sun and an hourglass
Upside down but don't look back over and over
Taking on the wind 'cause we never learn
Start a fire just to watch it burn over and over

Kids, kids, kids are gonna do what they want
Kids, kids, kids are gonna do what they want

Sweet harmony, kids are gonna do what they want
Sweet harmony, kids are gonna do what they want

And all the words, but it's not enough, it's not enough
'Cause no one heard, remember each other

Kids they have the fire now
Kids the fire's burning out
Kids are gonna do what they want
Kids they have the fire now
Kids the fire's burning out
Kids are gonna do what they want





Kids, kids, kids are gonna do what they want
Kids, kids, kids are gonna do what they want

Overall Meaning

Mikky Ekko's song Kids touches on the common theme of youthfulness and the feeling of invincibility that comes with it. The lyrics suggest that the future is uncertain but rather than being fearful or unsure, he's optimistic and open. He's willing to take whatever the future has in store and make it his own. "Oh, Imma let the future in, the future in. And take it all, make it all my own." He's excited to venture into the unknown and explore the possibilities.


The chorus "Kids, kids, kids are gonna do what they want" emphasizes the carefree attitude that is often found in youth. Ekko is acknowledging that young people are going to follow their own path and do what feels right to them. It's a reminder that he too was once young and reckless and that he understands the desire to break free from societal norms and expectations.


The verses touch on the fleeting nature of youth and the idea that you have to live in the moment and seize every opportunity. The line "taking on the wind 'cause we never learn. Start a fire just to watch it burn" suggests that the singer is aware of the consequences of their actions but chooses to live in the now instead of worrying about what might happen in the future.

I love how the end of every season (yes I know 3B is coming) has that sense of optimism ya know? It's like the writers are saying "Things aren't perfect. We still have stuff that has to be resolved but it's cool. For now things are awesome. :) I'm just glad no one's dead"

@derroneverest4511

"It's like I'm looking into the heart of an immense darkness" "What do you do instead?" "I look for my friends"

@hermaanaandersen

i'm actually in love with deano. the composer for teen wolf, you know, the one who selects and creates some of the music for the show. he knows exactly what songs to put into specific places. with this song and the rest of the amazing pieces he's selected for scenes in the show, theyre amazing! he actually created the opening theme and the music for the really big fight sequences! he's just amazing!
