I agree with you both. I listened to Ken Bruce show 3 times and I always feel I'm hearing something new that I missed before :boxed:

To me it tells the tale of a vibrant, energetic, slightly crazy-fun teen who comes from closed-minded parents who judge the teen's lifestyle, goals, dreams, even his approach to life. And instead of a stick you to the music industry, it's a stick you to the parents - saying, look, I'm spreading my wings and fully intend to live my life on my own terms. Whether you like it or not.

 

IMHO, anyhow. I could, of course, be totally wrong. :teehee:

 

I don't think you're totally wrong, but I'd take it a step further --

not just a stick-you to the parents, but possibly to lots of others around

him. Coming from a very small town with lots of small-minded people

myself, I totally relate to this! :thumb_yello:

Here's what I wrote in the other thread:

 

"I think it's about kids who are up to no good but they keep telling everyone that they're innocent little angels. :dunno:"

 

Or maybe they actually are good kids, and they keep being accused of doing bad things.

 

I just thought it was about people doing exactly what they wanted to do, whether it was right or not, because it was their golden years :roftl:

 

That was before I read the lyrics though...:naughty:

it happends to me too to listen an interview or something like this more than a time to understand all. And me too I understand something new each time:wink2:

And sometimes, same thing happends for songs...

Today, I didn't understand nothing when I was listening to WE ARE GOLDEN, cause I was really excited....

With lyrics I understand better. Thanks again! :wub2:

Oh wow, good work girlies :naughty:. I really like the song, but have this niggling feeling that there's too much going on, and that I can barely hear Mika's voice in it.....It didn't hit me and grip me like the first time that I heard Toyboy or Blue Eyes or BIOTG or Lady Jane, so I hope that it happens later, but I think that it's because this sounds so big and 'produced' that it can possibly never achive the same effect :blush-anim-cl:.

Here's what I hear. Mind you, it's 5am and I haven't slept. Thanks, Mika. :teehee:

 

----------------------------

 

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?

You could see what I’ve done

Staring at emotion

In the light of day

I was running

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 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

I’m finally looking around (???)

Left here on my own

I’m gonna hurt myself

Maybe losing my mind

I’m still wondering why

Had to 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.

 

Thanks, lady! I love the lyrics and the overall message of this song. I can't believe it, but I actually just got tears in my eyes listening to it. What a turnaround since Friday when I thought I wasn't going to like it.

 

The "Running around again...running from running" part is true bliss. Love his voice on it. :)

But it helps to have the opportunity to listen several times, don't you think?:wink2:

That is why I love how members of this fan club records and uploads interviews!:wub2:

 

 

Running around again

Running from running

Running around again

Running from running

 

Hehe :naughty: this lines makes me think of this:
