Sometimes life feels like a chaotic rollercoaster, and this song captures that perfectly. It's about feeling overwhelmed and biting off more than you can chew, like being stuck in a bad trip you can't escape. The lyrics reflect on past mistakes, lost heroes, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that often feels bleak. Despite the darkness, there's a sense of camaraderie and loyalty—holding onto friendships as an anchor. The recurring theme is that while things might not be okay ("the kids aren't alright"), there's still hope in sticking together and facing life's storms head-on.
The Kids Aren't Alright
Lyrics
Stuck in the jet wash
Bad trip I couldn't get off
And maybe I bit off more than I could chew
And overhead of the aqua blue
Fall to your knees, bring on the rapture
Blessed be the boys time can't capture
On film or between the sheets
I always fall from your window
To the pitch black streets
And with the black banners raised as the crooked smiles fade
Former heroes who quit too late
Who just wanna fill up the trophy case again
And in the end
I'd do it all again
I think you're my best friend
Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright
I'll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright
I'm not passive but aggressive
Take note, it's not impressive
Empty your sadness like you're dumping your purse
On my bedroom floor
We put your curse in reverse
And it's our time now if you want it to be
Maul the world like the carnival bears set free
And your love is anemic and I can't believe
That you couldn't see it coming for me
And I still feel that rush in my veins
It twists my head just a bit to think
All those people in those old photographs I've seen are dead
And in the end
I'd do it all again
I think you're my best friend
Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright
I'll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright
Oh, and sometimes I just wanna sit around and gaze at my shoes, yeah
And let your dirty sadness fill me up just like a balloon
And in the end
I'll do it all again
I think you're my best friend
Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright
And I'll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright
