Foster the People – Pumped Up Kicks Lyrics | 13 years ago |
Well... not to drag everyone a little deeper... but... The top layer analysis is relatively straightforward... The real interesting thing is that the first stanza is written in THIRD person... He's singing about _Robert_ coming for you... analysis as above... The second stanza is written in FIRST person... "I've waited for a long time. Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger," You could conclude that this song is really about teenage copycat killers and identifying with the psychosis that leads kids to do these types of acts. |
