Description
The world has shifted slightly, as if someone tilted the horizon and everything familiar went sideways. The sound is hollow and sticky, like neon gum stuck between the teeth of a concrete city. Children with toys that resemble weapons play at apathy and power. Their eyes show weariness from a future that has not even arrived yet. Everything around them flashes, presses, blinks with spotlights - and inside, it's as if someone is quietly turning the volume knob of chaos.
There is a strange calmness in this song - when everything is falling apart, and you just watch the ashes fall evenly, like snow. And it seems that the monsters are not those outside, but those who were raised inside, to the music of a soft beat and an indistinct ‘easy does it’.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Kids with guns, kids with guns.
Taking over, but it won't be long.
They mesmerize skeletons.
Kids with guns, kids with guns.
Easy does it, easy does it. They've got something to say.
Drinking now, pacifier.
Women sold, street desire. Your message too, but it won't be long.
Kids with guns, kids with guns.
Easy does it, easy does it. They've got something to say.
And they're turning us into monsters.
Turning us into fire.
Turning us into monsters.
It's all desire, it's all desire, it's all desire.
Drinking now, pacifier.
Taking soul where you are.
Doesn't make sound too, but it won't be long.
'Cause kids with guns, kids with guns.
Easy does it, easy does it. They've got something to say.
And they're turning us into monsters.
Turning us into fire.
Turning us into monsters.
It's all desire, it's all desire, it's all desire.
Push it, push it real.
Push it real.
Push it, push it, push it real. Real. Push it real.
Push it, push it, push it real. Push it real. Push it, push it, push it real. Real. Push it real.
Push it, push it, push it real. Push it real. Push it, push it, push it real. Real.
Push it real. Push it, push it, push it real.
Push it, push it real
