The Suburbs Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ytmnd 

Cover art for The Suburbs lyrics by Arcade Fire

The dreams you had as a kid in the suburbs with your friends are so quickly forced through the meat grinder of life that that they began to fade, even back then you were "already bored". And today while only a remnant of those feelings exist you find yourself "moving past" them again, and you only realize it when you look introspectively and it baffles you cause you know before long those feelings and dreams will be gone.

Hopefully I can have a daughter too while I'm young, before I'm lost to the mediocrity of the real world.

My Interpretation
