Song Meaning of “Hi Kids” by CRO
“Hi Kids” is a song by German hip-hop artist CRO that speaks to the struggles of growing up and the difficulty of Young adulthood. It explores the idea of wanting to be accepted for who you are and the temptation to conform to be someone you’re not in order to fit in.
The song starts off with a humorous tone, mocking those who try to act cool and wouldn’t understand him. Despite the upbeat beat and humorous tone, the lyrics express an inner sadness and regret of feeling like a misfit and wishing he could be accepted. He wishes he could be someone else and turn back time in order to regain the purity and innocence of childhood, and how things seemed to be easier back then.
CRO acknowledges his own faults and insecurities, against the backdrop of hopefulness and nostalgia as he strives to be authentic to himself and bravely face the daily challenges life has in store. The chorus of “Hi Kids” welcoming incoming youth stands as a reminder of the struggles of growing up, as well as the ultimate need for self-acceptance and understanding.
