The Kids Are Sinning
Beautiful Catastrophe: Unraveling the Depths of Emotion in 'The Kids Are Sinning'
Lyrics
Spent it on a bag, when I could have had my rent paid
Regretting spending money on non-essential items instead of paying rent.
Looking for somebody that will hold me when I fall away
Seeking emotional support from someone during difficult times.
People come, people go, I'm alone, you would know
Feeling lonely and isolated, with a sense that others may not understand.
Don't care what your friends say, I don't need em' anyways
Disregarding others' opinions and not relying on friends for validation.
I don't understand it, it's the topic of depression
Expressing confusion about the nature of depression.
All these people always asking, what's the point of being sad
Questioning the purpose of being sad when there are positive aspects to focus on.
When you can look up in the heavens and can't ask him for forgiveness
Reflecting on the inability to seek forgiveness or guidance from a higher power.
My bad I must have missed him, my bad I must have missed him
Acknowledging a missed opportunity for divine intervention.
Taking it back, everything I said, I'm one step, two step, close to the edge
Retracting previous statements, feeling on the edge and close to a breaking point.
Dare you to test me, I swear I'll jump, maybe when I fall, then I'll find love
Challenging others to test the speaker's limits, contemplating the search for love.
I've been gone for way too long
Expressing a sense of prolonged absence.
It's not like anyone would even notice when I'm gone
Believing that no one would notice the speaker's absence.
Tell me what's the point of being happy
Raising the question of the purpose of happiness.
Summer nights and all the kids are sinning
Describing summer nights when youth engages in sinful activities.
Threw a molotov inside this broken family
Using a molotov metaphorically to describe the destruction of a family.
Just a product of your beautiful catastrophe, yeah
Acknowledging being a result of a chaotic but beautiful situation.
Tell me what's the point of being happy
Reiterating the question about the purpose of happiness.
Summer nights and all the kids are sinning
Repeating the description of summer nights and sinful behavior.
Threw a molotov inside this broken family
Reiterating the molotov metaphor for family disruption.
Just a product of your beautiful catastrophe, yeah
Reaffirming being a product of a beautiful catastrophe.
I have something to say to you about all of the pain that you put me through
Addressing pain caused by someone and expressing resilience.
It's a miracle that I'm still standing here and you'll never ever get another one of my tears
Highlighting the speaker's strength and refusal to shed more tears.
I was struck down, struck down
Referencing a personal downfall or hardship.
Prolly think that you are tough now, tough now
Suggesting a perceived toughness in the face of adversity.
I'm just getting in my head now, head now
Entering a contemplative state.
But it's easy when the only thing you know is writing songs and being let down
Describing the ease of resorting to songwriting amid disappointments.
Taking it back, everything I said, I'm one step, two step, close to the edge
Repeating the theme of retracting statements and feeling on the edge.
Dare you to test me, I swear I'll jump, maybe when I fall, then I'll find love
Challenging others again, contemplating jumping and finding love in the process.
I've been gone for way too long
Reiterating a prolonged absence.
It's not like anyone would even notice when I'm gone
Repeating the belief that no one would notice the speaker's absence.
Tell me what's the point of being happy
Posing the question again about the purpose of happiness.
Summer nights and all the kids are sinning
Repeating the description of summer nights and sinful behavior.
Threw a molotov inside this broken family
Reiterating the molotov metaphor for family disruption.
Just a product of your beautiful catastrophe, yeah
Reaffirming being a product of a beautiful catastrophe.
Tell me what's the point of being happy
Once again posing the question about the purpose of happiness.
Summer nights and all the kids are sinning
