Living For Kicks
Living for Kicks: Unveiling Life's Thrilling Pursuits
Lyrics
Stood on the corner of Nelson Street
Standing on Nelson Street, possibly in a contemplative or observant state.
Like cats on a hot tin roof
Feeling restless or anxious, like cats on a hot tin roof.
Looking for trouble, waiting not so patiently
Actively seeking trouble and impatiently waiting for it.
One pack of fags
Possession of a pack of cigarettes.
Two left
Two cigarettes remaining in the pack.
Three people that think that they're the best
Three individuals with a sense of superiority.
Sat on a wall, four young men have been drinking
Four young men on a wall, possibly intoxicated.
Poor mum and dad are none the wiser
Parents unaware of the situation.
But the entire road know what they were thinking
The neighborhood is aware of their activities.
And they don't take kindly to criticism
Resistance to criticism.
But they can tell you their cousin went to prison
Willingness to share family history, even if involving imprisonment.
Living for kicks
Life is pursued for the thrill or excitement.
Isn't that what it's always been about?
Questioning if the pursuit of thrill defines life.
Living for kicks
Reiteration of living for excitement and pleasure.
The subconscious idea that's in everyone
The subconscious desire for excitement exists in everyone.
A boy and a girl walk down by the river
Describing a romantic moment by the river.
As the world seemingly circles just for the two of them
Feeling isolated and focused on each other in the world.
Had enough of the small talk and nervous laughter
Disinterest in trivial conversation, seeking genuine connection.
As they intertwine hands and confess their love
A moment of intimacy and love confession.
She prays it ain't cheap so they can get along
Hoping the love isn't superficial for a lasting relationship.
Living for kicks
Reiteration of life's pursuit for excitement.
Isn't that what it's always been about?
Questioning if thrill-seeking is the essence of life.
Living for kicks
Re-emphasis on living for excitement subconsciously.
The subconscious idea that's in everyone
Asserting that everyone harbors a desire for excitement.
And it's that something that we all know
Referring to an indefinable quality that influences life's direction.
That has the potential to sway which way life goes
The ambiguous force that shapes our life paths.
Different kinds do it different ways
Diverse approaches to seeking excitement but a shared goal.
But when it comes down to it we're just looking for the same old thing
Commonality in the pursuit of a specific experience.
And from the day that we are born
From birth, the existential question of life's purpose.
There's the question of "What do we live for?"
The eternal question of what gives life meaning.
Living for kicks
Reiteration of living for the thrill or excitement.
Isn't that what it's always been about?
Pondering if the pursuit of excitement defines life.
Living for kicks
Emphasizing the subconscious desire for excitement in everyone.
The subconscious idea that's in everyone
Living for the thrill is ingrained in the human psyche.
Living for kicks
Reiteration of life being driven by the pursuit of excitement.
Isn't that what it's always been about?
Questioning if the essence of life is the pursuit of thrill.
Living for kicks
Emphasizing the deeper meaning behind human actions.
The finer meaning of what we do
Highlighting the profound significance of our actions.
