Wayward Kids
Old Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All of my friends have their futures planned; I'm not a part of any of them.
I wish the clouds would move away but my best friend moved instead.
The lyrics to Old Gray's song Wayward Kids portray a sense of loss and isolation felt by the singer who feels left behind by their friends and the world around them. The first line "My dear I do fear that nothing will ever be the same and all these broken homes and broken bones will share the blame," suggests a deep-seated sadness and a feeling of hopelessness. The singer feels weighed down by the collective troubles of those around them, and everything feels like it's falling apart.
The second line, "All of my friends have their futures planned; I'm not a part of any of them," emphasizes the sense of isolation felt by the singer. They feel left behind while their peers have moved on with their lives, and it's left them feeling disconnected and alone. The final line, "I wish the clouds would move away but my best friend moved instead," adds to the melancholic tone of the song. The singer has lost their best friend, and it's like the clouds have gathered over their life, obscuring any sense of hope or joy.
Overall, the song deals with themes of loss, isolation, and feeling left behind. It paints a poignant picture of the pain felt by those who struggle to find their place in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
My dear I do fear that nothing will ever be the same and all these broken homes and broken bones will share the blame.
I am afraid that things will never be as they were before. The shattered relationships and physical injuries will be collectively held responsible.
All of my friends have their futures planned; I'm not a part of any of them.
All my acquaintances have their future objectives figured out, but I don't fit into any of those plans.
I wish the clouds would move away but my best friend moved instead.
I long for a change in my life, but instead of the skies clearing up, my closest companion left instead.

This is a real music. This is what makes music seem fun to be involved with when they’re small. I love this and I wish I knew of this band years ago.
