now reasoning with the cigarette is entertaining himself while he waits. on top of that i think it also means he has been waiting along time for the opportunity of revenge. dinner reference + "ive been waiting a long time" suggests that he is at the dinnertable waiting for his dad to walk in. i think whats actually happening when dad's coming home late and bringing a surprise is he's coming home late drunk and beating him.
Second verse: it says "daddy works a long day" which i think has an ironic innocense in assuming hes working that whole time. by telling them to run (even if not literaly) he is playing with them and enjoying this, because you cant run faster than bullets. but the line "and i dont even know what" any ideas? also the fact that hes called "Robert", is that name significant?Ĭhorus: pumped up kicks are probably like Nike airs and stuff, which probably means all the trendy popular kids, and hes going to shoot them. cowboys are also lone figures which is important. and the cowboy stuff means he's having fun with the idea of how cool it will be (probably to hae that power). Its about a disturbed kid going on a killing spree (no shit).ġst verse: he is just about to start shooting, and is hanging around with a shifty look and a revolver and no one suspects a thing. Yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick pull triggerĪnd say your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice He be coming home late, and he's coming home late You'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun In his dad's closet, oh in a box of fun thingsīut he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for youĪll the other kids with the pumped up kicks He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan
