I honestly thought after listening to this song that it was about the Holocaust and I think I’m right. “O Children” is a song that could be debated to tell the story of Jewish people during the Holocaust. It follows those at the camp as they watch their friends get sent off to the gas chambers and in the end, the narrator does too. This disgusting time is portrayed in an elaborate but simple way because the lyricist never explicitly explains that this is what this song is about, you must dive into the lyrics to best understand the premise of the song
I googled what the song is about and it’s about how adults leave “the keys to the world” to teenagers and kids who don’t really understand the responsibilities for it.
Pass me that lovely little gun My dear, my darling one The cleaners are coming, one by one You don't even want to let them start They're knocking now upon your door They measure the room, they know the score They're mopping up the butcher's floor Of your broken little hearts Forgive us now for what we've done It started out as a bit of fun Here, take these before we run away The keys to the gulag Come on Come on Come on Come on Here comes Frank and poor old Jim They're gathering round with all my friends We're older now, and the light is dim And you are only just beginning Oh, children We have the answer to all your fears It's short, it's simple, it's crystal-clear It's roundabout and it's somewhere here Lost amongst our winnings The cleaners have done their job on you They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove They've hosed you down, you're good as new And they're lining up to inspect you Oh children Poor old Jim's white as a ghost He's found the answer that we lost We're all weeping now, weeping because There ain't nothing we can do to protect you We're happy, Ma, we're having fun And the train ain't even left the station And have you left a seat for me? Is that such a stretch of the imagination? I'm hanging in there, don't you see? In this process of elimination We're happy, Ma, we're having fun (children) It's beyond my wildest expectation (oh, children) We're happy, Ma, we're having fun The train ain't even left the station (oh, children) (Hey, little train, wait for me) (I once was blind but now I see)
@@_madxxvv don’t claim a song for ‘harry potter’ because i do love the movies myself and am addicted to that whole world but a song that’s been so distinctively written about a tragic event in history that has scared many jews and their families should not be named as a ‘potter head song’ or ‘harry potter song’ because it had such a bigger meaning than that and it’s disrespectful for such a powerful song which tells the story of jewish children (who the majority were killed) during the holocaust. it pains me for this song to be now claimed as a ‘song about hogwarts’ ‘song for potterheads and they’re dreams to go to hogwarts’ as once again it is really disrespectful
someone needs to educate themselves, how embarrassing. whilst this song does go in tune with that terrible event, this song also has NOTHING to do with the jews, the whole point of it is that it doesn't have one and can be put with ANYTHING so pipe down and shut the fuck up @@emilyrose827

@@setayesh356 don't think it was ever confirmed but the most popular thought is that it's about children during WW2 taking the train to concentration camps while being blissfully unaware of where they're going
For all who don't get it. It's a song about the children in WW2, that were sent into 'camps' by trains not knowing where they were really going.
4:29
In the train leg cabs on the way to the island waiting for take us to the castle
The sped up makes them sound like children. Its breaking my heart.

Quoting that on a song like this so bad tastingly funny since you don’t know this songs meaning
i dont even know why but every time someone says dumbledore's full name i die laughing
its about love not the holocaust shut the fuck up@@jessemccracken9907
Reast in peace Mr. Dumbledore🕊🕊
could anybody explain the meaning of this song
it’s from the ww2 and all the dead people
It's about the Shoah
@@_-Simp__ that’s not true it’s about kids not knowing they’re on a train to concentration camps
its abt the childrens that was sent to camps during ww2
The children who fell victim to the holocaust:/
Love is the greatest magic of them all because it’s something that wizards and muggles can share together.
this song is not about love
