Arcade Fire - Suburban War (Official Lyric Video)

[@thekingofkeith5711]

I think this song is the absolute peak of this album. Easily one of the saddest songs they’ve ever written.

[@bmidtschalint3904]

I agree. Reminds me of the times I used to go out and stand under the stars, smoking, thinking...

[@iiiian7]

When I was 25 I had a huge falling out with my middle/high school friends over who I was in love with. All 7 of us were inseparable. We were at each other's houses everyday, I lived with 2 of them for years and never thought we would be apart. This album came out the same year the huge fight happened.... and I used to drive in the middle of the night weeping to this song at full volume. This hurts to this day. 💔

[@ethanride3203]

Damn dude, I never thought I'd see a comment so relative to my life. I had a huge falling out with my 7 best friends too when I was 25, lived with two of them(they were brothers) for a couple years, never thought we wouldn't be friends anymore. The fight happened over a girl one of the brothers stole from another best friend, I told him what was going on behind his back and everything fell apart. I don't see any of them anymore, and I listen to this song and cry about it sometimes. That shit gave me like PTSD and it's still hard to this day.

[@replacement77]

I can relate 100%, also they cut their hair and I never saw them again. The town I live in really is strange, they certainly built it to change because I don't recognize it any more, not without my old friends. Never think that you are alone in this not for a second!

Esta canción me recuerda a los días en que íbamos de visita a una ciudad visita, acompañado de alguien a quien perdí hace casi un año. Eran días de preparatoria. Las largas e carreteras de California eran lo que veía constantemente y ahora lo extraño mucho. Que bien que estén subiendo las lyrics de estas canciones ❤️ me ha servido a recordar años pasados.

“they keep erasing all the streets we grew up in”, that line always gets to me ;;; growing up my, family moved a lot, every other year pretty much. every ‘home’ became a ‘house’, we buried our housecat that was older than me at the time behind another house we left behind. i used to always cry when i had to throw away my toys and old things in order to conserve space to move again,, now i hoard what’s left of my old things, i never in my life had any real friends because ever since i was seven, i knew id never see those people ever again. i was born into that life, not my mother, not even my sister; now, neither of them believe my trauma because it was only a piece of their lives when it was my entire reality

i just came here to make sure i wasnt the only grown up wanting to cry when hearing this song. It reminds me of all those friends, from my childhood, those i tought would last forever, but somehow we grew apart. And how about those friends we lost not so many years ago? I was raised in the suburbs so part of my heart is there....and i used to have a soul sister there....but a couple of years ago we grew apart, i suppose we stopped having things in common? she decided to vanish and i respected her decision....and i tough I was over it....but this song comes to teach me everytime than i am so wrong. It makes want to cry and I promise its not the red wine talking.

[@rockthebestmusic]

Demos una vuelta, y veamos la ciudad esta noche. No hay nada que hacer, pero no me importa cuando estoy contigo. Esta ciudad es tan peculiar, la construyeron para evolucionar, y mientras dormimos, sabemos que las calles se reorganizan. Con mis viejos amigos, era tan diferente entonces, antes de que comenzara la guerra de los suburbios, antes de que empezase. Ahora la música nos divide en tribus. Te dejaste crecer el pelo, así que me dejaré crecer el mío. Dijiste que el pasado no descansará hasta que saltemos la valla, y la dejemos atrás con mis viejos amigos. Recuerdo cuando te cortaste el pelo. Nunca volví a verte. Ahora las ciudades en las que vivimos podrían ser estrellas distantes. Te busco en cada coche que pasa. La noche es tan larga. Sí, la noche es tan larga. He estado viviendo a la sombra de tu canción. Viviendo a la sombra de tu canción. En los suburbios yo aprendí a conducir. También me dijiste que nunca sobreviviríamos, así que coge las llaves de tu madre, nos iremos esta noche. Aunque comenzaste una guerra que no podemos ganar. Ellos siguen borrando todas las calles en las que crecimos. Ahora la música, nos divide en tribus. Tú eliges tu lado, yo elegiré el mío. Ninguno de mis viejos amigos me conoce ya. Todos mis viejos amigos, miran dentro de mí ahora. Ninguno de mis viejos amigos me conoce ya. Ninguno de mis viejos amigos me conoce ya. Ellos ya no me conocen. Viejos amigos todos, esperad.

Yeah, the night's so long I've been living in the shadows of your song Been living in the shadows of your song In the suburbs I I learned to drive And you told me we'd would never survive So grab your mother's keys we leave tonight But you started a war That we can't win They keep erasing all the streets we grew up in Now the music divides us into tribes You choose your side I'll choose my side All my old friends They don't know me now All my old friends Are staring through me now All my old friends They don't know me now All my old friends They don't know me now All my old friends wait

To the person who disliked this lyric video: Why?

[@Uncle_Neil]

Hi, lived through this era in Houston, not far from Will. We reached a point if you didn't cut your hair you lost friends you'd known for years. I kept my hair, it got long, ended up pretty much alone and never really trusted people much after that. The lyrics are history for some of us, many people everywhere I suppose. We lost our innocence and quite honestly it still hurts. Maybe that is why people dislike the lyrics. Peace.
