The Suburbs - Arcade Fire

I do not own the rights to this song. It belongs to the Arcade Fire and their record label.
The new album, The Suburbs, came out August 3rd 2010.
Lyrics:
In the suburbs, I
I learned to drive
And you told me I'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys, we're leaving
You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd fight in
In a suburban war
You put it down against mine
I saw you standing on the opposite shore
Nobody down, the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
The kids won't be so hard
In my dreams we're still screaming
Running through the yard
And all the walls that they built in the 70s finally fall
And all of the houses they built in the 70s finally fall
It meant nothing at all
It meant nothing at all
It meant nothing
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling into the night
I just can't understand
How I want a daughter while I'm still young
I want to hold her hand
Show her some beauty
Before this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask
If it's too much to ask
Send me a son
Under the overpass
In the parking lot we're still waiting
It's already passed
So move your feet from hot pavement
And into the grass
Cause it's already passed
It's already already passed
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
I'm moving past the feeling
I'm moving past the feeling
In my dreams we're still screaming
We're still screaming
We're still screaming

I could write a 10 page thesis on this album and very possibly on this song alone. A song about growing up that literally "grows up" as you listen to it. Subtlety adding in and taking away instruments as the song carries on representing the people that come into and leave your life. The lyrics becoming more mature towards the end. The haunting vibes of the background chorus. Hands down my favorite album of all time.

[@amdcaaa]

That's a pretty good analysis

[@kaylakincannon3774]

This is the saddest song. It's sad in a way that is universal....a desire to grasp a moment of the past and live in it. I think of lost days of smple beauty and joy.

[@gustavfechner4559]

Perfectly stated.

[@picoscar]

Yes, the saddest song. Anyone can find its own sadness.

The song and the entire album is absolutely drenched in the bittersweet drug that is nostalgia.

So nostalgic. My parents used to play this all the time when I was a kid. Life was so good. They are divorced and my dad passed away last year. God this song just transports me back to my car seat driving through the Suburbs with mom and dad when life was so perfect.

Does anyone else get an eery, mysterious, and almost supernatural vibe from this album? I love it and I can't get enough. It captures the feeling of living in the suburbs so well while also giving it this almost other-worldly quality.

[@liljuz1981]

Couldn't have described it any better than myself. It feels like a fever dream of hormone fueled suburban adventures. Almost like those days were better than now despite the ongoing "suburban war".

[@angelobeltran2540]

One of the best written songs ever! I don't just hear it, I'm transported! Anyone else?

[@TheAerosmith3]

It is one of the best songs ever written. Not the best always and no matter what song I call my "favorite" this song will always be my favorite. It was an eye opener for me and it servers as a box of memories.

[@B4balla]

DoULilacIt2 I thought I was the only one who felt this way, I know what you mean...the somber lyrics and happy beat contrast eachother to create this strong feeling I've never felt before for me when I listen.

[@drummer4916]

I was kind of underwhelmed at first, but over time I grew to love it. It has such subtle touches that make it great, like the beautiful background strings. The lyrics are incredibly meaningful and evoke strong emotions that I really can't explain. It reminds of me of growing up, but in a sad way.

Just _love_ how that piano playing, while the same through the song, somehow turns forboding, almost sinister, after "under the overpass."

This song is such an eerie and haunting yet an unexplainable satisfying song. Like would be at the end of a movie where the world is all happy but it’s slowly ripping apart and everyone is just unexpectedly horrified.

Your comment perfectly sums up my feelings towards this song. Thank you. Perfect, every word.

[@Arxzl]

@@Sporadicifre Glad we think alike :)

[@nanaki1990roblox]

Yes. I describe the song as forced optimism. It is upbeat, but there's a darker undertone, like a person trying to remain optimistic when faced with less optimistic circumstances and thought.

[@gxbrxxl9626]

It's like the beginning of Blue Velvet

[@Dylan-jf5tu]

this song almost chokes me up, it conjures up so much emotion of that time in 2010, I had just graduated highschool and was delivering pizzas around my local town for work. I was single, not much self esteem, but still had a whole lot of hope and positivity about the future. I look back now having graduated uni and working a 'professional' job how different is my life really. I have a great partner now but life is definitely not how I thought it would turn out. I've gone full circle and ended up back in the suburbs lol

Kanye West is actually a pehonomal musician when he wants to be. MBDTF has some of the best production on any hip-hop album...Ever. And conceptually, it was planned masterfully. Definitely check it out if you're even a slight hip-hop fan. Don't be thrown off just because it's Kanye West. I felt the same way about him too until I actually gave his music a shot. (Not his terrible collaborations with trap artists, but his actual albums. Specifically MBDTF and College Dropout.)

This song does exactly what the title says. It feels so much like living in the suburbs. I lived in the suburbs for the first twelve years of my life, and in the same neighborhood for eleven of those years. I'll never forget it. When my family moved out to the country... I still cry about it.

[@KB-sg7tv]

In February 2020 I did my first international solo trip to Colombia. I was sitting on the rooftop of my hostel in Medellin when this song came on. I was instantly hit with feelings. Indescribable feelings. That moment, sitting there in a new country, by myself, happy, was like a turning point in my life. Now when I hear this song, it brings me back to that sheer happiness that I felt in Colombia when I heard this song. This has to be one of my favorite songs ever in history.

I'm sorry that you're experiencing vision problems, but if you read what's in the brackets it tells you what secondary school is and that's probably because you live in America and 95% of Americans are not very educated when it comes to other countries.

I've been hearing these guys late at night on the radio and had no idea what the band was until now. Thanks for posting. Good stuff!

[@IndigoRays]

This song is absolutely sublime!

[@DRIVAH]

[@maxitaify]

This song is everything

[@marshallgarrett7855]

The nostalgia is overwhelming, so fucking bitter sweet.

[@keonikun_7609]

I aspire to be all the members of arcade fire. They are honestly so amazing.

[@sophiet5641]

this is the most remarkable song for my 16s, will i ever get over it?

[@mrlingshaun6269]

Have you?

[@ryanmoran011]

Revisiting this album as the decade comes to a close to enjoy the best concept album of the last 10 years. A truly great crossover of indie and mainstream appeal

[@danij9593]

For many of us, this was the album of our generation. The modes and intergenerational span of music on this album was powerful enough to move our consciousness to a better medium. I am forever thankful for this album.

[@MegaFlyingScotsman]

Love this. Makes me regret all the wasted time I've spent in a chemical coma. Time is running out need to make more of life.

[@stormography1]

I absolutely love this song!

[@ghostwitharms]

My family moved to the suburbs from a more rural area during the summer portion of the covid-19 pandemic. It was so surreal to leave my childhood during what felt like the end of the world. This song feels so close to the disjointed reality I was processing.

[@hunterkonopasek2]

I love the vibe of this song so much. So melancholy it's perfect

[@charlescarranzainactiveacc3499]

So can you understand why I want a daughter while I’m still young? I want to hold her hand, and show her some beauty Before all this damage is done.

[@mightybison15]

c carranza that lyric has always stuck with me and it never fails to move me whenever I hear it.

[@merinfraser8957]

what did you to wish her a job?

[@SebAnders]

And if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask...then send me a son.

[@Stringsloth]

Best sentence from the entire song, touching, deep, moving, true ♥

[@rryan4134]

c carranza some of the most beautiful and profound lyrics I've heard.

[@RunningMan797]

Much good very suburb

[@theredruin8750]

I used to listen to this song with my family, it makes me so happy to listen to it again, reminds me of my childhood

[@basslayer000]

The nostalgia this gives me now as a 25 yr old young man 🥲 simple times But fuck it, let's make the future Great🙏🏾

[@paolocastillo7171]

Bout to become a teen and this song will make me savor my childhood so much more than I should.

[@FeeblePenguin]

So can you understand? Why I want a daughter while I'm still young I wanna hold her hand And show her some beauty Before this damage is done But if it's too much to ask, it's too much to ask Then send me a son. :( I think these are the saddest lyrics I've ever heard.

[@jsecurity1887]

+FeeblePenguin amen

[@JazzyJ96771]

Before it's damage is done*.

[@Satan-Is-a-Lawyer]

This song feels like a cool relaxing summer night I’ve bet had

[@bobble_the_wobble]

This song somehow makes me nostalgic for a childhood I never had.

[@topaz1558]

this song brings out emo 15yo me omgggg 😭❤ so many feelings when i hear this.

[@rossmanIVXX]

I want my brothers back. I want to go back to when we was children and innocent. Before the miserable pain, the frustrating confusion and betrayal. I wanted them back even then. Before the fugitive that eventually birthed apathy. Before the death and grief, griefing pain and lost that I can't seem to overcome. I just want my brothers back.

[@jillians8475]

This song will forever haunt my soul. This song is the epitome of clinging on to everything with all you got.

[@adolfosuazo96]

I always come back to this song everytime I feel empty and hopeless. Somehow it makes me feel alive.

[@Psychoclaw]

Listening to this in late 2020 is uh...it's a feeling.
