Cool Kids
Embracing Individuality: Decoding Snow Bones' Cool Kids Message
Lyrics
Cool kids never look
Cool kids avoid looking
With their tired eyes and their perfect luck
They appear energetic and fortunate
They take to the streets with their self-made grain
They hit the streets with their unique style
What you get is what you see
What you see is what you get
There’s no sense in trying to get underneath
No point in trying to understand them deeply
All the color drained from you face
Your face loses color
All the stiches in place
All wounds are healed
It’ll be ok
Reassurance that everything will be fine
It’s too shallow to hold your breath
Superficial, not worth holding your breath
But it’s deep enough that you gotta swim
Yet deep enough to require effort
Ok
Okay
I found you painting the window shut
Discovering you closing off from the world
With your bleeding heart and your broken love
With a bleeding heart and shattered love
It’ll be ok
Reiteration of reassurance
I learned to walk so I could get in the way
Learning to interfere and make a difference
I hope the cool kids watching us now got nothing to say
Hoping the cool kids observe without criticism
Cool kids shoving you
Cool kids pushing you around
With their I don’t care hair and their teeth like glue
With an indifferent attitude and perfect smiles
Every morning and every night, looking outta sight
Oblivious every morning and night
We’ll show ‘em we’re better than this
Determined to prove superiority
I can’t explain it but we don’t need words to say
Communication without the need for words
We can learn to walk to get in the way
Continuing to interfere for a cause
It’ll be ok
Reassurance repeated
It’s too shallow to hold your breath
Shallow situations not worth stressing over
But it’s deep enough that you gotta swim
Still deep enough to require effort
Ok
Okay
I found you painting the window shut
Discovering you closing off again
With your bleeding heart and your broken love
With emotional pain and broken love
It’ll be ok
Reiteration of reassurance
I’ve been remembering all my dreams
Recalling dreams but unable to make sense of everything
But you can’t make sense of everything
Okay
Ok
Shallow situations not worth stressing over
It’s too shallow to hold your breath
Still deep enough to require effort
But it’s deep enough that you gotta swim
Reassurance repeated
It’ll be ok
Continuing to interfere for a cause
I learned to walk so I could get in the way
Hoping the cool kids observe without criticism
I hope the cool kids watching us now got nothing to say
