Suzy Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Final edit from BlueSky's album lyrics booklet Lyrics according to the Japanese printed lyrics: Teenage dreams in a teenage circus Running around like a clown on purpose Who gives a damn about the family you come from? No giving up when you’re young and you want some Running around again Running from running Waking up In the midday sun What’s to live for? When you could see what I’d done I stay out of motion In the light of day I was hiding From the things that you’d say We are not what you think we are We are golden, we are golden. We are not what you think we are We are golden, we are golden. Teenage dreams in a teenage circus Running around like a clown on purpose Who gives a damn about the family you come from? No giving up when you’re young and you want some Running around again Running from running Running around again Running from running I was a boy At an open door Why are you staring Do you still think that you know? Looking for treasure In the things that you threw Like a magpie I live for glitter, not you We are not what you think we are We are golden, we are golden. We are not what you think we are We are golden, we are golden. Teenage dreams in a teenage circus Running around like a clown on purpose Who gives a damn about the family you come from? No giving up when you’re young and you want some Now I'm sitting alone And I'm looking for help Left here on my own I'm gonna hurt myself Many years have gone by {YES! I was right!} But I'm wondering why {he sings I'm still wondering why} I ever let the world, let it bleed me dry We are not what you think we are We are not what you think we are We are not what you think we are We are golden, we are golden Teenage dreams in a teenage circus Running around like a clown on purpose Who gives a damn about the family you come from? No giving up when you’re young and you want some Running around again Running from running Running around again Running from running We are not what you think we are We are golden, we are golden. We are not what you think we are We are golden, we are golden. We are not what you think we are We are golden, we are golden.

Agree with all, except the second line. I'm second-guessing both what you hear and what I hear...starting to think that one line is something different altogether, but I'm not sure what...

I think of it more like wild high school/college kids. Maybe because I am one, but you know "running around like clowns on purpose," "young and wanting some," not "giving a damn" about anything, trying to find happiness and love but maybe being a little too crazy! and then when people look at you like, "wow look at that crazy idiot dancing around," it's like.... shut up.

lollipop_monkey Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 To me it tells the tale of a vibrant, energetic, slightly crazy-fun teen who comes from closed-minded parents who judge the teen's lifestyle, goals, dreams, even his approach to life. And instead of a stick you to the music industry, it's a stick you to the parents - saying, look, I'm spreading my wings and fully intend to live my life on my own terms. Whether you like it or not. IMHO, anyhow. I could, of course, be totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
