[quote=Anonymous]Maybe this is irrelevant but Pumped Up Kicks is actually about a mall shooting in Omaha in 2008. I agree with the PP that I don't think this song is meant to glorify violence at all. To me, as disturbing as it is to hear these lyrics paired with such chipper, upbeat music, it reminds me that we do live in a violent society where people do awful things to each other for no reason, and to always be mindful of what it takes to keep civil society together. Granted, teenagers probably don't hear it in the same way. I have to admit, after playing it in the car a few times, my kids fell in love with it and begged me to download it so they could hear it at home. And I did. And they request it on a regular basis. I sing over the chorus so they don't hear the true lyrics. [/quote]
