Pumped up kicks

[SlayerZ99]

Does anyone know what the song it about?
Its hard to understand the lyrics but if you looked them up they're pretty weird
Its about a boy name Robert Hawkins
He was 19 years old when he entered a mall in Omaha, Nebraska and opened fired.
He kill 6 people instantly, wounded 2 who later died, then he took his own life.
The Self Delete note he left said
"I just want to take a few peices of stuff with me... just think tho, I'm gonna be forgetin famous."

Apparently the song is about a boy who goes and shoots kids who get proud or "kicks" out of bullying people


Ive also heard that the song is about "a B0y ho shots people cuz the ware nik3 airZ"

The main singer said the song was a sort of "forget you" to hipsters. He then went on to say how his song was something that hipsters would probably like but he still didn't loving like hipsters.

I don't get how it could be a 'forget you'.

I remember hearing about this, quite interesting how songs have hidden demotic messages

[Regulith]

I could never figure out the complete lyrics on my own so I didn't catch that it was saying

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

[Mulch]

I don't get how it could be a 'forget you'.

"All the other kids with their (pumped up kicks*)"

*The kids with the kicks being the hipsters.

"Better run, better run, outrun my gun"

Obviously this guy wants to shoot hipsters.

Someone already made a topic about how this song somehow had a really deep meaning when it really doesn't. When song indirectly tells a story, it's just like any other song(One by Metallica does this). It's also not that good of a song.
