@Merlinmhc Mark Foster explained the song's meaning to Spinner UK: "Pumped Up Kicks' is about a kid that basically is losing his mind and is plotting revenge. He's an outcast". Mark also said "I feel like the youth in our culture are becoming more and more isolated"
If you haven't watched the movie "Bang Bang You're Dead", based on a play by the same name, I highly encourage you to watch it. This song is essentially the theme of the movie and it's all I can think about whenever I hear this song 🎵

Robert's got a quick hand He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid Yeah found a six shooter gun In his dad's closet hidden oh in a box of fun things, I don't even know what But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, out run my gun All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, out run my gun All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet Daddy works a long day He be coming home late, he's coming home late And he's bringing me a surprise 'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice I've waited for a long time Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger I reason with my cigarette And say your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, out run my gun All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, out run my gun All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, out run my gun All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, out run my gun All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, out run my gun All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet
This is an excellent song, really, catchy and deep, beautifully sung. The guys look kind and well-behaved, excellent. This SHOULD be a hit amoung teenagers in Afghanistan and Irak, who spend their mis lives dancing under the Drones of Korruption. Awesome.
Could you make guys more accoustic songs? Your band is so amazing that it doesn't need special sound effects, and the singer's voice is so beautiful, it's a pity you use too much electronic effects. I just love your pure music, guys.
Listen, ive had a hard past and i got ispired by this song to study the shooting... And i really wish i could speak to them somehow. It would make my life to meet them. Im not even kidding.
Oh sorry! I thought you were just being critical for no reason. I've got an acoustic bass and the sound can get completely drowned up, plus the bass he uses in this is so nice!

I seriously think this is one of Foster the People's best concerts. It gives them a whole new sound, and gives you a different look at their songs.
frl..
I love how Mark doesn't wear any shoes when he plays guitar.I don't know how,but its really adorable. :)
I believe its because he puts off the drummers timing when he taps his feet so he takes them off :)
Valorienicole omg that is so adorable 😄
I bet his feet stinks!
Get a room already
This acoustic version is 100% way better than the studio version!
Mark is the cutest band geek I've ever seen. No joke. My heart melts.
Best part of this song 02:33 - 02:49
Rizky Alvian I think he should whistle at that part :)
hard to keep whisteling at the same note unless you practice for months.
Best part is from 00:00 to 03:08
😂😂😂
@@MrKnisterable haha agreeee
that drum set lol so minimalist
totes bruh

The guy who plays the bass kept my attention...And I wonder why.
The bass line is very catchy and funky, bro

You know, when 3 guys can sit down and knock out sh*t like this, well somethings got to be right!!
What type of shoes does mark have? Great cover!
Mark wrote and played everything himself..the version on the CD is the demo version..

He's comin for you. All.
All the other kids with the pumped up socks...
I like this better than the studio version- i like hearing Marks real voice :3

What is the guy on the very left playing. Electric bass or just guitar sum one help plz
I love how he took off his shoes.
WATCH IN X FACTOR INDONESIA "FATIN" PUMPED UP KICKS...SHE'S AMAZING,,
anybody know what drum sticks this guy is using
How'd he make his snare so tight? Sweet vid
That's because he's an Ohioan, Ohioan's are good musicians ;) And it's because he's so perfect.
Porque no tiene zapatos? xd
Karla Calderón creo que el se siente mejor así 😍
Por que no tiene Reebok pump
