Arcade Fire - The Suburbs [Official Music Video] w/lyrics

Directed by Spike Jonze

In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'

You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd fight in
In a suburban world
Your part of town against mine
So you're standin' on the opposite shore
But by the time the first bombs fell
We were already bored
We were already, already bored

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling again

Kids wanna be so hard
But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
And all of the houses they build in the seventies finally fall
Meant nothin' at all
Meant nothin' at all
It meant nothin

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling and into the night

So can you understand?
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I wanna hold her hand
And show her some beauty
Before this damage is done

But if it's too much to ask, it's too much to ask
Then send me a son

Under the overpass
In the parking lot we're still waiting
It's already passed
So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
Cause it's already passed
It's already, already passed!

Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm movin' past the feeling again

I'm movin' past the feeling
I'm movin' past the feeling

In my dreams we're still screamin'
We're still screamin'
We're still screamin'

I'm glad Win and Regine aren't the policemen in my town. I would get in trouble way too often just to see them <3

The kid didnt just cut his hair for no reason... There is obviously a war going on by the smoke. People were being drafted, the kids were hiding in the gingers house and the ginger turned them in because he didnt want to put his family through the stress and worry about his little sister. Thats why the kids hair got cut. He came back from fighting with cut hair and obvious anger problems which is understandable, he focused his anger on the ginger. That is it end of story. Not that hard to get.

Basic Plot: They're a group of kids who are really close. There is a war going on and the kids have to grow up with it but something goes on within the boy(with the girlfriend) & he seems to grow up faster than the rest of his friends. (this is symbolized by him cutting his hair & him loosing interest in his friends& going w/ other ppl) You don't really know the whole story because the narrator only remembers certain parts of his teenage years.

okay. guys. this video is taken out of a short film. can you not see the plot?

so in the beginning you have a group of boys having fun rebelling against the goverment.

then one boy tells on the other boys in some ways, they get sent to jail

then the jailboys' brother gets mad and beats them up

there are other accentuating motifs behind this video, but if you want a plot, that's it.
