The Kids
Reckless Nights: The Unfiltered Journey of Youth
Lyrics
Smoking gun, the life of a sinner
Reflecting on a life of wrongdoing or mistakes, comparing it to a "smoking gun."
From dusk till dawn, I use my trigger finger
Engaging in potentially harmful activities throughout the night, using a trigger finger metaphorically.
Yeah all the girls, rolling without friction
Observing carefree behavior of girls without concerns or hindrances.
I'm in my own world, my mind won't even listen
Being absorbed in one's thoughts, detached from reality.
Yeah kids just being kids, got me in some trouble
Acknowledging that youthful actions have led to trouble.
cll theses substances, got me seeing double
Experiencing altered perceptions due to substances.
Yeah kids will be kids, hanging on the corner
Recognizing typical adolescent behavior, like hanging out on street corners.
It is what it is, don't say I didn't warn you
Accepting the reality of the situation and warning others.
Live for the night, we'll feel it in the morning
Embracing the night with the understanding that consequences may be felt the next day.
There's no end in sight, we just keep em' pouring
Indicating a continuous, unending cycle of indulgence.
Yesterday, is somewhere out there stranded
Reflecting on the past as distant and separate.
Yeah lesson learned, I'm leaving empty handed
Expressing the realization of a lesson learned but with no tangible gains.
Yeah kids just being kids, got me in some trouble
Reiterating the idea that youthful actions lead to trouble.
cll these substances, got me seeing double
Reinforcing the impact of substances on perception.
Yeah kids will be kids, hanging on the corner
Emphasizing the inevitability of youthful behavior, such as hanging out on corners.
It is what is, don't say I didn't warn you
Repeating the acceptance of reality and a prior warning.
c product of our environment, in a place not meant for us
Describing the impact of the environment on individuals, feeling out of place.
They say home is where the heart is but the heart is hard to trust
Suggesting that trust is difficult to find, even in a place considered home.
Words of wisdom for ammunition, but please don't kill the messenger
Using wisdom as a weapon, cautioning against blaming the messenger for uncomfortable truths.
Can't trust the system it wont listen, on our back like creditors
Expressing distrust in the system, comparing it to relentless creditors.
Yeah kids just being kids, Kids just being kids
Repeating the idea that youthful behavior is inherent and expected.
Oh kids just being kids, kids just being kids
Reinforcing the repetition of youthful behavior, emphasizing its inevitability.
Kids just being kids
Summarizing the overarching theme that the depicted actions are simply a result of being young.
