Independent
Wacky Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I don't have to think
because I have the feeling, and the right to choose
what I am inside
You have the ideas, I have the opinion and they don't
know what to do with their lives

Just like wacky kids looking for a hard love
Talking about girls waiting, for a hug

I thing that something still lacking
but it seems not to be,
I need no enemy
my brain and my nerves are contracting




I need your eyes to see
what's inside of me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wacky Kids' song "Independent" speak about individuality and the power of choice. The first verse asserts that the singer does not need to overthink their decisions because they trust their instincts and have the right to make their own choices. They contrast this with other people who may have ideas but lack the confidence or ability to act on them.


The chorus uses the metaphor of "wacky kids" searching for love to represent the struggles and uncertainties of young people trying to find their place in the world. The singer seems to empathize with these struggles, acknowledging that there may be something missing or incomplete in their own life even as they assert their independence.


The final verse suggests that the singer is introspective and self-aware, recognizing that their thoughts and emotions are complex and perhaps difficult to understand. They may rely on others ("I need your eyes to see") to help them see themselves more clearly and navigate the challenges of growing up.


Overall, "Independent" celebrates the unique journey of each individual and highlights the importance of trusting oneself and seeking out supportive relationships.
