    You could say its ironic that we listened to this song and didn't actually here the lyrics, kinda like how before a shooting nobody really notices the signs of a shooter. Still a great song to vibe to lmao

    But this was a time of what was happening in our society when kids were killing people think of Columbine in the 90s. Sounds like these are good history markers and it is amazing how people don't really listen to lyrics most of the time they just listen to the bop. There are a lot of dark songs out there he just got to listen.

That narrative is a popular opinion that the writer himself doesn't share.is it the word kids that did it? Because you talk to any 60 yr old they call everyone younger then them kids.is it the term pumped up kicks?had to be a kid to talk like that.its a reference to reebok pumps from the early 80s wich would make people 30 something yrs old when this song came out.the kids wouldn't even know what that is.
