I think of it more like wild high school/college kids. Maybe because I am one, but you know "running around like clowns on purpose," "young and wanting some," not "giving a damn" about anything, trying to find happiness and love but maybe being a little too crazy! and then when people look at you like, "wow look at that crazy idiot dancing around," it's like.... shut up. We're Golden.

 

that sounds like me in a way :aah:

Oh my god, Mari, good find!!! :wub2:

 

Let's see (I may be wrong, but I'll have a go):

 

"Running, running around

Sick of acting the clown

Leaves me nothing to do

But have to think of you

 

So much left to go wrong

Didn't knew I belonged

If I had words for hate

Would I have lived this way?

 

Oh, I'm sitting alone

And I'm looking for help

Left here on my own

I'm gonna hurt myself

Many years have gone by

I'm still wonderin' why

I ever let the world,

let it bleed me dry".

 

This is just... fantastic. Wow, I'm speechless. :blush-anim-cl:

 

Girls (Mari, Nono and Mana), thanks so much!:flowers2:

 

What an amazing version of the song!:kachinga:

 

The added verses are brilliant and make the song that much more poignant. :tears:

 

BRAVO MIKA! :clap:

I love this! Thanks for the link, and also thanks to Lollipop Monkey for the lyrics, they're fantastic. :thumb_yello:

 

Whenever I hear this, I feel like it's telling two stories. You know, the misunderstood teens, but the parents too. After

 

Oh, I'm sitting alone

And I'm looking for help

Left here on my own

I'm gonna hurt myself

Many years have gone by

I'm still wonderin' why

I ever let the world,

let it bleed me dry".

 

There's the whispered "We are not what you think we are" bit, and I feel like that's the parents swooping in, letting the teens know that they're misunderstood too. And then the final "we are golden"s and choruses is everyone singing together, reunited!

 

:biggrin2:

 

Yes. I had to share my two cents. Hope that's okay.

 

Hey bitter.icarus! :bye:

I love your interpretation of the lyrics! :wink2:

I hadn't looked at it this way until I read you post, but what you are putting forth makes so much sense.

You are right, it isn't just teenagers who are misunderstood, parents are misunderstood too.

Very perceptive indeed! :thumb_yello:

Yay, thank you! :teehee:

 

So I was puttering around iTunes, and on Mika's page thingy, there was the We Are Golden, track, but it was listed as "Clean". Excuse me, but what? When was it ever explicit?

I always hear;

 

'now i'm singing along, now i look in the mirror

left here on my own, i'm gonna hurt myself

maybe losing my mind, i'm still wondering why

heaven left the world, let it bleed me dry'

Lyrics according to the Japanese printed lyrics:

 

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus

Running around like a clown on purpose

Who gives a damn about the family you come from?

No giving up when you’re young and you want some

 

Running around again

Running from running

 

Waking up

In the midday sun

What’s to live for?

When you could see what I’d done

I stay out of motion

In the light of day

I was hiding

From the things that you’d say

 

We are not what you think we are

We are golden, we are golden.

We are not what you think we are

We are golden, we are golden.

 

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus

Running around like a clown on purpose

Who gives a damn about the family you come from?

No giving up when you’re young and you want some

 

Running around again

Running from running

Running around again

Running from running

 

I was a boy

At an open door

Why are you staring

Do you still think that you know?

Looking for treasure

In the things that you threw

Like a magpie

I live for glitter, not you

 

We are not what you think we are

We are golden, we are golden.

We are not what you think we are

We are golden, we are golden.

 

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus

Running around like a clown on purpose

Who gives a damn about the family you come from?

No giving up when you’re young and you want some

 

Now I'm sitting alone

And I'm looking for help

Left here on my own

I'm gonna hurt myself

 

Many years have gone by {YES! I was right!}:thumb_yello:

But I'm wondering why {he sings I'm still wondering why}

I ever let the world,

let it bleed me dry

 

We are not what you think we are

We are not what you think we are

We are not what you think we are

We are golden, we are golden

 

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus

Running around like a clown on purpose

Who gives a damn about the family you come from?

No giving up when you’re young and you want some

 

Running around again

Running from running

Running around again

Running from running

 

 

We are not what you think we are

We are golden, we are golden.

 

We are not what you think we are

We are golden, we are golden.

 

We are not what you think we are

We are golden, we are golden.
