Lyrics to We Were Children :It was a day like today,a sunday afternoon when they took you awaydown to Hades in a shopping trolleywith a magazine and a suitcaseThey stole your clothes i took your watch i couldnt look you in the eye why its always those who you love the most you criticise.Oh no stranger your just like me, these things happen we were children in the mid 90'sOh no stranger your just like me, we get older they get younger it was you or me.I stood throwing ice cream in your hair how i solemly swear its the thing in life i regret the most... leaving you standing thereAnd if you asked me id put my eyes out and when i woke up blindif you forgave i would sleep at night knowing i'd led a good life.Oh no stranger your just like me, these things happen we were children in the mid 90'sOh no stranger your just like me, we get older they get younger it was you or me.
Deconstruction:
These lyrics are centred around the idea of loss of childhood, this is shown in the title, We Were Children.
The song refelcets upon childhood moments or things associated with Children. Lines such as "Stood throwing ice cream in your hair" shows us childsplay, not something adults would do, this line will be shown visually in my video.
I hope to use lines such as "Regret the most leaving you standing there to ilustrate my take on the song talking about loss of childhood, by showing it visually, as someone on there own.
