I was at this show, from SoCal, and I never heard these guys before. So impressed I bought their record. This is the best song and I even said it then when I heard it live. Fuckin' great music.
Did anyone notice sum chick in the back round saying that guy is hot and sum one else said which one and she said the one with the violin thingie hahahhaa
@Unsafekiwi Mark Foster explained the song's meaning to Spinner UK: "Pumped Up Kicks' is about a kid that basically is losing his mind and is plotting revenge. He's an outcast. I feel like the youth in our culture are becoming more and more isolated. It's kind of an epidemic. Instead of writing about victims and some tragedy, I wanted to get into the killer's mind, like Truman Capote did in In Cold Blood. I love to write about characters. That's my style."
@Unsafekiwi okay.. first.. it's HAWKINS... and second.. this isn't about ROBERT A. HAWKINS... Mark Foster said it himself.. and this song is I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU
@Unsafekiwi dude its not about Robert Dawkins, Mark Foster said they used it as a random name for the song...and it's not Pumped up Kicks, you epically failed..
This is such a feel good song. Well actually their whole album is. Haha every song is just sooo perfect. And their performances always sound soo flawless. I need to see them live!
such a great song.

@Unsafekiwi Pumped up Kicks is not about Robert Dawkins... Robert is a fictional kid. The song is about looking into the head of a troubled teen.
