Let's Be Kids
Rediscover Simplicity: Embracing the Childlike Dream in Howling Bells' 'Let's Be Kids'
Lyrics
Let's be kids again
Expressing a desire to return to a childlike state
Life was so simple then
Nostalgia for the simplicity of life in childhood
Let's be kids again, again
Reiteration of the longing to be kids again
We don't wanna know about this currency
Rejecting interest in contemporary concerns like money
We don't wanna know about this 9 to 5
Disinterest in conventional work hours and routines
Just a simple life, can you picture this, yeah
Imagining a straightforward and uncomplicated life
We don't wanna hear about your policies
Refusing to engage with political or governing principles
We don't wanna live up to these expectations
Resisting societal expectations and norms
A child like dream, yeah, you know what I mean, yeah
Desiring a return to the innocence of childlike dreams
Let's be kids again
Restating the wish to revert to a childlike state
Life was so simple then
Reflecting on the simplicity of life in the past
Let's be kids again, again
Reiterating the desire to be kids again
Everyone's gotta reason to be free
Emphasizing the universal need for freedom
Everybody wants a lifetime just to be
Expressing a shared aspiration for a fulfilling life
A child like dream, yeah, you know what I mean, yeah
Connecting freedom with childlike dreams
Let's be kids again
Repeating the call to return to a childlike state
Life was so simple then
Recalling the straightforwardness of childhood
Let's be kids again, again
Reiterating the longing to be kids again
Somebody told me, don't ever look back
Advising against dwelling on the past
Just look to the future, well, I can do that
Encouraging a focus on the future, but with hesitation
But just for a moment I wanna be free
Expressing a temporary desire for freedom and nostalgia
To dream how I used to dream we could be
Yearning for the freedom to dream as in the past
Let's be kids again
Reiterating the wish to be kids again
Life was so simple then
Reflecting on the simplicity of life in childhood
Let's be kids again, again
Reiterating the desire to be kids again
Let's be kids again
Final call to return to a childlike state
Life was so simple then
Recalling the simplicity of life in the past
Let's be kids again, again
Reiterating the longing to be kids again
