| Silversun Pickups – Comeback Kid Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think this song is about school shootings, such as the one that took place at columbine. I might be wrong but for exemple the comeback kids, wins and wins and wins as he is shooting down peoples that yesterday were laughing at him / bullying him. By lacking respect toward him, they were building the pyre for themselve, while burning him. Attacking straight at his feeling, but it's all right, as long as he's not bleeding. Digging out his nerves, or rather destroying his childhood and leaving it bruised. This situation goes on and creates an environment of social pressure, that leads to those terrible tragedies. It might not even be about school shootings, but just about shootings in general, or even suicide from social pressure. This song is, in my opinion, about the anger/sadness that arise from rejection not from just one person but from everyone all at once. |
