Kids
The Features Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was born screaming
And then I hit the ground.
Like a wild demon,
I never settled down.
Then I got mine
Just like my old man got his.
K-I-D-S: Kids
They were born screaming.
They had fire in their eyes
Just like wild demons.
Lord, it came as no surprise
So now I've found
Just how sweet that mischief is.
Oh, K-I-D-S: Kids

I was born screaming.
I was born screaming,




And we were born screaming.
You know we were born screaming.

Overall Meaning

The Features' song "Kids" delivers a raw and energetic anthem that speaks about the wild and rebellious spirit of youth. The first verse talks from the perspective of the singer and how he was born with a fierce and unyielding nature that never allowed him to settle down peacefully. The lyrics "I was born screaming, and then I hit the ground. Like a wild demon, I never settled down" portray an image of a restless soul who refuses to conform to the societal norms and expectations of a well-behaved individual.


The second verse shifts the narrative to the people around the singer, particularly the youth who share the same spark of rebellion as him. The lyrics "They were born screaming. They had fire in their eyes just like wild demons" reflects the passion and intensity of the next generation who are unafraid to make noise and create chaos in their pursuit of living life on their own terms.


Towards the end, the song seems to celebrate the thrill and excitement of being young and free. The repetition of "K-I-D-S: Kids" in the chorus acts as a call to arms for those who refuse to be tamed by the system and want to embrace the wildness that comes with being a youth.
