Lyrics
In the suburbs, I, I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys, we're leaving
You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd be fighting in a suburban war
Your part of town against mine
I saw you standing 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 moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
The kids want to be so hard
But in my dreams, we're still screaming
And running through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
And all of the houses they built in the seventies finally fall
Meant nothing at all
Meant nothing at all, it meant nothing
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling and into the night
So can you understand
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young?
I want to hold her hand
And show her some beauty before this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, if 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 moving past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it
I'm moving past the feeling again
I'm moving past the feeling
I'm moving past the feeling
In my dreams we're still screaming
We're still screaming
We're still screaming

I watched this video a few years ago in 7th grade. The imagery of the suburbs themselves didnt strike me as relevant back then, but now it looks so unnatural and pretty... God dangit. Its so hard to be able to look at the world and see the pretty things these days.
God, so much has changed in four years.

This was the record that defined my entry into adulthood. I listened to the whole album on repeat non-stop during my freshman year in college. All of the themes spoke so closely to me, I had never been so emotionally affected by an album. Truly an outstanding work of art. The funny thing is that I moved on to other music and didn't really keep up with Arcade Fire. I didn't even know that The Suburbs won AOTY until a few years later. I was just dumb and didn't keep up on media at the time but I was absolutely floored and so proud. This is a timeless record and it deserves every bit of recognition it's gotten.
Arcade Fire, just know that you've written the soundtrack to so many people's lives. You have created something that brings so many people nostalgia and happiness and melancholy and inspiration. I will never forget this album and I will show it to my kids and keep it close to me always.

"If I could have it back, all the time that we wasted, I'd only waste it again" This lyric is true to us all

The line "I want a daughter while I'm still young, I want to hold her hand and show her some beauty before all this damage is done.." always gets me. Listening to this as a young adult in 2020 hits different though. To me that line reminds me of how I personally couldn't justify raising a kid right now or ever with how uncertain our society and environment is, doomed to inevitable hardship. But I still want a family.. I wish the world was different.

It’s crazy looking back on the time in my life when I got to be a part of this. I’m the one in the beanie. It feels like a lifetime ago. Honestly is gut wrenching that a lot of what you see in this video is already coming true in the world today. Looking back on it in the year of 2020 I feel like this video predicted a lot in its own way. I had just turned 16 and got my drivers license. I was looking for a new high school to go to when it just so happened that the day I was shadowing at this art high school one of the casting directors saw me. She came up to me and said “do you want to audition for a spike Jonze short?”. I was like hell yeah I do. I did the interview and forgot that it happened till I got a call back. Honestly showed up to the call back still not believing it was real till I walked into the room and Spike was handing me a script saying “give it a read”. It was a trip shooting this for a month getting to kick it with spike, win, will and the rest of arcade fire for a month or so. The real reason why we were laughing in the one scene of us shooting the BB guns on the overpass was I accidentally shot Will in the chest with the BB gun and made him bleed haha. Sorry again Will my bad 😂. I was really stoked that I was in this because I knew about arcade fire from a fully flared part (also made by spike) and I told all my friends (who didn’t know at the time who they were). Until they won the Grammy for album of the year and everyone was hitting us up. It was a fun ride especially being so young. I’m glad a portion of my adolescents was captured in this way. It’s beautiful and whimsical. Every time I go back and watch this it brings back memories around that time. Aright I’m done rambling lol. Thanks again for the good times 🙏🤙

I was a freshman in college when this song came out. Now after seeing A24's Civil War movie recently, this looks like it could be a film straight from the film.

When I was in high school, my American friend showed me this song. I didn't get it, and not just because I was still learning English. I took it to be a happy song and related the imagery of the friends to my own; I never understood the martial law. I got married a few months ago, heard this song on the radio. I get it now. I don't know how long I sat there with a tear in my eye.

This song in Boyhood would have been perfect.

This is without a doubt one of the greatest songs ever written.

Makes me envious of a suburban teenage childhood I always longed for, maybe next time 🍀

This song perfectly captures being trapped in the melancholy of nostalgia. Stuck in the past without realizing it’s “already past.”

So,the military is like a metaphor for adult life creeping its way in, and the suburbs are clearly their senses of wanting to stay a child forever, or at least under 18

This song is so amazing. As a 41yr old father fed up with how the world is acting right now. This song and video really take me back to better days. The 80s and early 90s were a great time to be a kid. I am so so grateful I was able to live it and pass it onto my own kids. Our 13yr old is a little 80s dude, no phone, no excessive TV. Plenty of animals, goats, dogs, chickens, nature .... And he LOVES nothing more than a good bike ride

I can't listen to this album or pretty much most of the tracks on it without getting something in my eye. Every time, without fail. The suburbs continued in particular and wasted years really gets the well flowing. 😢 and yes all their work, highly predictive. I think they like most big bands that make it are told what to write or get given the script from the get go and told to compose a song with specific disclosure. Still frickin brilliant and gets me every time. They do capture nostalgia so incredibly throughout this album. 😭

My little sister told she listens to this song when she misses me. It’s hard listening to it now that she’s passed away I miss her so much this is such a nice song

This song comes to mind a lot when Im walking through the burbs. I find myself humming it, feeling nostalgic and worried about the future at the same time.

This song gives me the strangest nostalgia and feelings I buried years ago.
