Top Comments of this video!! :3
I don't think people understand how much this event impacted the goth/industrial scene at the time due to the blame being put on musical acts in our scene. Many friends suffered violence afterward at the hands of outraged people simply because they were wearing all black in the wrong place around the wrong people. This is a full circle moment for me to see a band who is embraced in our scene depicting this event years later. It's a very emotional experience listening to this and watching this video <3 Thank you Skynd and Father for this gift.

Lyrics for whoever needs them:
Public school, battle grounds
Two students, come around like
Loaded soldiers, packing heat
Inside a shotgun, gun click
To the beat, down
We shoot you down
We come around
And when we blow off that trigger, get down
We shoot you down, we come around
The gun goes click, click, click
Ra-ta-ta-ta
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta

Get up, ready, mark, shoot
How many victims is we 'bout to lose?
Get up, ready, mark, shoot
How many victims, how many victims?
Get up, ready, mark, shoot
How many victims is we 'bout to lose?
Get up, ready, mark, shoot
How many victims, how many victims?
No vendetta, seeking fame
Bombs and bullets, it's just a game we play
Baby soldiers, baseball field
Inside a shotgun, gun click
To the beat, down
We shoot you down
We come around
And when we blow off that trigger, get down
We shoot you down, we come around
The gun goes

When I first heard this song I had mixed feelings. But understanding how SKYND writes her songs, the research she does and the respect she has for the victims and their families helped me to see this from her productive and understand her intention. When you see the mindset of the killers through the eyes of the witnesses and other evidence the killers left behind, this song captures that. It's a narrative but it's very immersive. There really was no other direction this song could've gone to encapsulate the fear, panic, chaos and even the mind games of the killers. Really well done.

I remember Columbine, it was awful. Parents blamed everyone from Marilyn Manson to Eminem, and everything from video games to movies like The Crow and The Craft. âDo you believe in God?â thatâs what witnesses said the kids were asked before they were shot. Then 9/11 happened two years later and the world forgot, and nothing was done to solve the root of the problem. The truth is that it wasnât music, or video games, or movies. The truth is that we never got an answer for why a few angry kids killed so many other people. Two years later 9/11 happened and we forgot about the kids at Columbine. We forgot until another shooting happened, or a father sold his daughterâs journal to make a buck. We forgot and when weâre reminded we try to ban guns, and we go on talk shows screaming about the 2nd amendment, all while forgetting that the real reason things like this happen is because we forget about people. We forget about our kids mental health, our own mental health, until the problem becomes so unbearable that someone does something awful, and then we blame everything and everyone else for our own failure, our own blindness and disregard. Then the cycle repeats. This was a good song, remembering that time is painful, but then thatâs the point I suppose.
