Kids
Stefy De Cicco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making mama 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
The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions to 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
The song "Kids" by Stefy De Cicco talks about the joys of childhood naivety and the simplicity of enjoying little things. The starting of the song talks about a child crawling on their knees and making their mother proud, but their voice is too loud. The following lyrics describe how people like to watch the child laughing and picking insects of plants without any thoughts of consequences. As the song moves forward, the lyrics advise the child to control themselves and only take what they need from life, as if in a warning to not lose themselves in consumerist society. The chorus of the song refers to a family of trees wanting to be haunted, which may refer to the idea of becoming a part of something bigger, a community or a family, but which also has darker connotations such as death or destruction.
The second verse of the song uses two contrasting images, that of warm water sending shivers, and a baby crying for attention, which represent the complexities of life's emotions. The line "decisions to decisions are made and not bought" suggests that personal choices are essential and should be made with care, as our actions result in consequences that are hard to bear. The concluding line "I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot, I guess not" represents the naivety of childhood, where we believe that life is easy, and we know everything, but it is only when we grow up that we understand the harsh realities of life.
