    Haha I love how he said, "to have a band, to have a g-g-guiitar, god forbid to have a guitar, an electric guitar in top 40 radio." Which is true, it's sad that actual instruments are no longer being popularized. Don't get me wrong I love electronic music and learning how to use it is as difficult as playing an instrument, but I miss hearing the shrill of a guitar on the radio. I play guitar and I've tried to learn how to make music on programs. Trust me it's just as difficult

    For anyone wondering, it's actually about a mall shooting which occurred back in 2007. The person who committed the shootings name is Robert Hawkins, who was known to have been in trouble with the police and struggled pretty much for all his life, he also even wrote a suicide note and can be found on the net. The most obvious clue though is literally the first lyric of the song "Roberts got a quick hand."

    The meaning of the song is that a little boy finds his dads gun in the closet. The thing hes planning to himself (as it says in the lyrics) is that hes planing a school shooting. The reason why in the lyrics it say all the kids with pumped up kicks better run faster than my gun means, that when he starts the school shoot out he's targeting the kids with nice sneakers as nike. I hope this helps with the meaning

    Melody in Pumped Up Kicks really matches the feeling of the school hall way in the afternoon. When you are still in your classroom finishing your late works, and most of the students already returned home. You finally finish your work and realize that your realible best friend was waiting for you the whole time. So you walk with him down the hallway with sun lights flashing down upon you.

He went to school dressed as a cowboy and carrying a semiautomatic pistol he stole from his father.

    this song gives me anxiety because there was a school shooter at my school, and after school the day that he was there, i had a nightmare that the guy was in the empty hallway of my school and you could hear his footsteps and he was playing this song. my sister was with me because her middle school is down the street from mine. he found where everyone was hiding and i carried her and and started to run out of the campus. we made it two blocks away, but he followed us in his car and he was going after us. i let my sister off of me and told her to run, take my phone, and never stop until she makes it to the police. he pulled out his gun and started pointing. i pushed my sister into the bushes which led to another street. she tried to stay but i yelled at her to not worry about me. i heard a gun pop and i felt a pain in my chest. then i woke up with a panic attack. i will never feel anything more than 75% safe at school ever again.
    edit: i still love this song though
