Haha I love how he said, "to have a band, to have a g-g-guiitar, god forbid to have a guitar, an electric guitar in top 40 radio." Which is true, it's sad that actual instruments are no longer being popularized. Don't get me wrong I love electronic music and learning how to use it is as difficult as playing an instrument, but I miss hearing the shrill of a guitar on the radio. I play guitar and I've tried to learn how to make music on programs. Trust me it's just as difficult

[@annarosales5707]

I love his voice, I love the way he explains things.

[@gloshi5593]

The meaning of the song is that a little boy finds his dads gun in the closet. The thing hes planning to himself (as it says in the lyrics) is that hes planing a school shooting. The reason why in the lyrics it say all the kids with pumped up kicks better run faster than my gun means, that when he starts the school shoot out he's targeting the kids with nice sneakers as nike. I hope this helps with the meaning

[@purplitooelfideo9732]

For anyone wondering, it's actually about a mall shooting which occurred back in 2007. The person who committed the shootings name is Robert Hawkins, who was known to have been in trouble with the police and struggled pretty much for all his life, he also even wrote a suicide note and can be found on the net. The most obvious clue though is literally the first lyric of the song "Roberts got a quick hand."

Melody in Pumped Up Kicks really matches the feeling of the school hall way in the afternoon. When you are still in your classroom finishing your late works, and most of the students already returned home. You finally finish your work and realize that your realible best friend was waiting for you the whole time. So you walk with him down the hallway with sun lights flashing down upon you.
