"Cool Kids" Lyrics:
She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style
They all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down
Yeah, they're invincible and she's just in the background
And she says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
He sees them talking with a big smile, but they haven't got a clue
Yeah, they're living the good life, can't see what he is going through
They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going
In the fast lane, living life without knowing
And he says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
And they said
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
Be like the cookies.
Well yes, but actually no.

How did u ever forget🤦🏾♂️
I'm 60 years old this year 2024 and grew up on music from the 70s and 80s and this song is KOOL!!👍💪
Awww❤😊
Awww❤💥🎼🎸🎹🎤🎚🎧
Even in 2024, this is still a masterpiece. I heard it in 2016 and I really like the tune, time does fly!
Sure does. Good times for you!
I first heard 2019 loved this Song ever since then true
Masterpiece is a stretch, but cool tune, anyone would roll with.
time does indeed fly
I heard this while I was bowling and loved it.
This song gives me nostalgia of something that never happened
psycho30nt omg saem
I'd say you are fun at parties
Exactly
Maybe happened in another universe
Isn’t that true with any song that came out before 2015
the drummer was just 14 when the song was released. I remember how huge this song was back in 2013/14, so crazy to think that he got to experience this at such a young age!
he was definitely a cool kid
Okay! So that’s why he looks 14. 😮😮😮😮
Yup.
A real cool kid, then.
What happened now?
April 2024 anyone?
Day 1!
ME DAY 6!
Meh
day 8!
Day 11
2024 and am still here ❤ what a beautiful piece of art .

From Brazil ❤ todos mas a vocalista ey demais
dude, this song is pure nostalgia for me, some years ago it played everywhere, always thought she was talking about cookies
Eu também sempre achei que ela falava de cookies k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k k A vergonha meu pai
@@gustavogioramoura8541 ABSAHSGDA e eu ficava tentando entender o pq que ela tava falando de cookies n tinha nada a ver ajshsjdh
LoL 🤣
Hahaha 😂
Dude I remember exactly when I use to hear it in the car’s backseats laying on the floor right next to the speakers saying cookies
This song is much more deep when you hear it 6 years later
Exactly
Yeah all the cookies are gone when you are older
@@thisismychannelname5476 lol
Well it’s about being suicidal
True xD
I'm 38 now. Still listening to this masterpiece and finding out that everyone is cool in their own ways
Tengo 39,y aqui sigo escuchándola 🎧🎵🎵
This song makes me cry, fukkn flood of memory lane with this jam
@@miguelperezmontiel9911chido mi compa yo tengo 36 y me encanta esta rola
Even after 9 years it's still so relatable
I remember my older sister singing this because she was always getting bullied in high school and now, shes the most prettiest, popular, and confident person i have ever seen
parc no comprendo eso, la verdad para mi eso es ser ignorante vivir creyendose lindo o feo...
if u do not understand that dude here is what it means I do not understand that, the truth for me that is to be ignorant to live believing yourself cute or ugly ... Edit: so many likes OwO-
Pues si..... en eso del autoestima si tienes razón, pero es que uno ve gente relinda y no se ven realmente como son....
Nice
what a dream
This is so nostalgic, my heart is aching in joy.
😂😂😂
Me too
@cjetelomar2010 nice
Indeed.
x2
This song hits different when you’re grown
are you the cool kidz now or not yet 😅
this tune is a timeless classic. i never get tired of hearing it
She was just 16 years old when singing this, who knew? really mature and talented
Impressive!!
I was 13😭
MysticPanda makes the song make a lot more sense. If anyone over 18 is still singing about the “cool kids” they’re probably a loser in life, not just school.
Lol I was 8 when this came out
I was 10
I heard this song too many times... Look what i became...
LOlz
A cookie.
hahahah! This comment should be viral.
Cookie yea u became the bully victim..
😂😂😂 nice brotha
The bad thing about making a song like this is 10 years later you're in your 30s singing about wanting to be a cool kid.
Just be yourself. ❤
Hearing this song always reminds me of how short life really is.. 2014 dude.. that's 10 years.. enjoy every moment as if it was your last!!
it's hard when you are socially anxious, depressed and confused about your sexuality oh and lonely can't forget about that
@@benedict9508 Yo don't worry, try your best accepting who you are and be open about it! Only then you can find people who truly love you the way you really are, and you will find such people. I believe in you!

Been listening since 2015. This really encaptures the sound of 2014/15. Still sounds fresh as it's coming into the 10th year of the release. Love it!
Can a 44 year old be a cool kid still? This song is amazing and forever will be!
I refuse to believe that his song is 7 years old.
It's actually almost 7 years old. This song came out June 21, 2013, just the music video came out September 12, 2014.

Her attitude when signing is magnetic & the band sounds great (Keep recording)
I'd like to dedicate this song to my best friend Adam, he recently died in a house fire. He had this song played at the 8th grade matriculation, and he listened to echosmith a little bit too much, Adam was the coolest friend outbof all of my friends, rest in peace..
god bless him
Thank you
But seriously Rip, :'(
sorry for your friend he was a good perso resr in peace

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣genial. Ist das süß oder was 🤣
Oh shit you were in 3 grade or 4th and now 15
I worked at an AMC between 2014-2017 and I’m pretty sure this song played on loop in our lobby from like February 2015-August 2016. As much I heard it working there, it never got old. Great song!
This song definitely takes me back to my childhood the most, I miss those days more than anything
The main message of this song is just be yourself and dont let other people bring you down for who you are, good song Echosmith!
That’s right on point !
It’s funny because the singer looks like she was the popular girl in high school
Exactly, they even gave the comment a like!
No doubt💯
Yes 🙌
if youre listening to this now you're a legend.
Issa fact😭✊
All echosmith fans are legends✌🏻😂
Woooww
Yesss
We’ve become the cool kids
I use to cover this song back in high school with the old band and played it at gigs, I can't believe I forgot about this song. Nostalgic for me.
This a legendary song right here childhood man omgggg 🥺2024 who else listening ?
The fact you guys are still active on this song is lowkey wild

Me in my fifties singing “I wish that I could be like the cool kids”
Samee
Growing up with undiagnosed autism, I felt this 100%. this song was ALWAYS how I felt. I'm a high masking female, very emotional individual. When this song first came out, it resonated so very deeply with me. I couldn't stop listening.
This is one of them songs that never gets old.
2019 My lips: *I'm a Cool Kid* My Brain : *I'm a Cookies*
*Brain*
lol cookies.. same here :v

I have iphone 5 and people still push me and laugh at me as if i were stupid.
YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH PEACE ON EARTH FRIENDSHIP

A FOREVER PIECE OF ART
I was 20 when this song came out... now I'm 28... time flies super fast... enjoy every moment... savor every bite...
Mee too🙈
❤️❤️
Omg I’m 19 now, how you doing now?
@@Badboislikeme I miss the physical strength of my youth self 19 self, and that's about it. I do miss my younger self, but that dude needed to change for the better and focus on himself and his GOALS. I don't want to be cool, I just wanna be me.
I'm 27 now.
When I was young, I thought she was saying "I want cookies" 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 same with me
"I wish that I could be like the cookies"
Now I hate un hear this

Im crying the old memories after my daugther was born❤❤

Because all the cookies they seem to fit in
I still really, really like this song.
Anyone else from 2023 still listening to this wonderful piece of music?
Here I am. 😊
Hi
Listening today 1/18/24 ❤
2/17/2024🎉
life was good back then.
Wish i could go back 😔
Right ;(
Back then? 7 years ago? That seems like just the other day
Blaise Uchiha same😔
Ikr
I think that every single person on earth has felt as if they don't "fit in" at one point or another. So in a way, nobody is the "cool kids".
Yeah right
I was a cool kid but always thought i was weird
Sure
Huh? Lol
Hi
This song never gets old, truly a great song!
9 Years later and this song is still a banger 😊realy love this ❤ Brings back so many memorys❤
All facts 🔥
Lived the life of those who wished. This song hits deep
animasteryful94 maybe someone wished they could like be you.
talkingpurebollocks If they did, I'm surprised, but I could see how in some regard. I may have been the social fly-on-the-wall at times, but I still had real friends.
especially for a loner like me, i always feel blank, cause its so hurt inside, i just can breathing and nothing else when listening to this
parece que dice cookies
Fabi Padilla Romo verdad que si
I'm 60+ and this still hits me hard. Being accepted isn't all that one thinks it to be, comes with an immeasurable number of strings. Accepted at face value is the only real count. Remember, always, you are the cool kid whether you fit in or not.
the wise words of robin fleet ❤️
Thank you
💛
And I'm 51 and I'm feeling like a cool kid, a cool girl. Like this song so much💖💖💖🌟🌟💖
HOW TO BE A COOL KID: BE CONFIDENT EVEN IF PEOPLE HATE UR RIGHT DESCISIONS, LISTEN TO PEOPLE, BE KIND
This song hits so hard after so long it’s so crazy
What makes this video so timeless is the director. Sydney and them were just teenagers in this video but she looks so mature and older. Director did awesome job setting the tone for timeless classic.
I wish that i could be like the COOKIES 'cause all the COOKIES they seem to fit in... my tummy 😂
LOL!!!

Going through the comments and you realise this song has an impact on all generations. Teens, people in their 20s, 30, 50s, 60s. What a gem!
70s also
yeah it sure does
At same time they feel the same feel. They share the same preasure
Human Nature doesn't change as much as we would like it to.
40s-😢
This song is probably one of my favorite indie pop songs
Props to Mark Pellington and Echosmith. The unity of a great song and video are a gift. Some songs will stand the test of time. This is one of them
This song was made WITHIN the last decade but has the raw genuine emotion of something I would have listening to on repeat when I was 15. Incredible.
Reminds me of 1987 Luka by Suzanne Vega. Love the 80s vibe
What a boring opinion.
@@kennymccormick8295 what a rip off name
@@milesfamilybiz definitely agree. Thanks for the recommendation. I really dig it.
Same. And I'm 35 🤔
This song has a great message for everyone. It's okay not to fit in. Find your passion and your voice. Just be yourself. I was awkward and shy when I was in high school. I joined clubs just to try and fit in. Most of the time I was very unhappy. Then I went to university, and I started to feel more confident. I completed my studies, found my soulmate, and got a job in my field. Meanwhile, I found out that some of the cool kids from high school got left behind. Some of them did drugs and couldn't find happiness. Trust me, your life will take a turn for the better if you just believe in yourself. Find a few good friends to help you get through the uncertainties of life.
good advice for me.
Thanks. Now im crying.
Damn that was deep
That my friend is the truth . Very well said . Just be who you are and keep doing the right things and everything else will be alright .
This is actually pretty great but i really dont remember asking, great message anyways tho good luck to yall in what Ever life Brings you
i watching from 2024
Love this song!!🥰😍🤩 I think we're ALL cool kids 😘
As the quiet, socially awkward kid in school, I relate to this song
I'm 57, and still the pain, I didn't forget 5th grade. 'We' didn't care about the cool kids. I found out I'm deranged (e.g. PTSD), autistic. I spent about 20 years in colleges and universities including after graduation as a tutor (did fluid mechanics). No gal peer was EVER interested in me and had a 'get together' (?because I was a ?serious student? read: Super Nerd - and still am). I've good communication and emotional intimacy skills. I'm a 'Counseling Medic', too. I'm 57 (now 6/6/2020) and never 'lived' - it's from the complications of 'psychological violence' (common term 'bullied'). Never got married, childless, never had a career, never fit in to society. All my life was 'academia'. I've failed as a 'dear hunter' - even tho I'm on many personals sites as 'dutch8926' for DOZENS of years. I'm now dying in terminal phases. If you inflict 'psychological violence', you may never know how much life-changing harm is caused.
Nah I don't wanna be like the one's at my school
then change your lifestyle.
I left school years ago 😂
i was in the middle made friends with cool kids and nerds had a chance to join the circle of cool kids, but they did drugs n shit so I swerved to the left
I don't think many will read this, but I used to listen to this song when it first came out, I was in high school and I always wished I was like all the other "cool kids" in school, but as the years went by, I learnt that, all that ever mattered was how you loved yourself and the ones who truly matter. That's all that counts! :) that makes you the coolest of the kids!
Facts mate, absolute facts
Well said. If we could have all felt this way at a younger age.
Respect ✊🏻
You are so right when I was younger I relised that to and im still am yung ;)
Same. I didn't really think much of the song's lyrics but I later realized the important message of the song as I kept listening. I used to jam to this while playing games
This song is almost 10yrs old who still here 2024

Everyone who is here for the next year is. I'm not going to like your comment just because of what year it is, my man.
I remember the first time I heard this song back in 2013, I was in high school trying so hard to be "the cool kid".There's nothing better than being yourself,don't let other people bring you down for who you are
be Robert from the song pumped up kicks 💀
This song is 6 years old!! Can't believe that.

yes she does have hints of taylor swift, especially if she's wearing "that red lip classic thing that you like"
She looks like that one girl on Pitch Perfect.

This song never dies
this song released when I was 16. My gem that I listened almost everyday because I could not feel fit in and be a cool kid.
That song reminds me the college time
i literally remember sitting in my room with the radio on and hearing them talking about a “new song” and then played this. i can’t believe how many years have gone by since then
Yes
▶️🅰️🙋♂️🎸
Heard this in a yoghurt shop in Queenstown back then. I remembered that it was a new pop song that was all the rage. Can't believe 6 years has passed since then!
You just need to remember which year was it … lol
2014 literally feels like yesterday
If this used to be your song as a kid, YOUR COOL NOW
Thanks :)
yoo thanks! you too
biggest lie ever told
tru
Thx
I listened to this song so much when I was pregnant with my now 10 year old. I never thought I’d get to be a mom and I wanted so bad to fit in with the other moms. 10 years later and realized that I’m exactly who my son needed❤
that girl is sooo beautiful
she got a short ass dress haha
black guy 1703 only better for us
Sidney Sierota is her name
i dont agree
No really. It's on her birth certificate.
This song is so nostalgic for me. I was a bad addict in highschool and I remember listening to this song wanting to be like everyone else. Sober. Doing what normal teenagers do. Those were the cool kids, to me. I felt like a failure. I'm clean now, but it took a long time to help myself.
I’m beyond proud of u ❤️
I love you sweetheart I’m glad you clean and living your life please continue to stay clean love
You're a cool kid 👍
Good to hear!! I have a messed up sleep schedule and you've inspired me to go to bed early ^-^
I wasn't an addict but I had anxiety, stressed out. I dropped out at least three times from highschool. I know my highschool wasn't perfect but I really wished I tried harder to make friends and in my education. Maybe my life could have been different. I don't hate my life now, but obviously I imagined myself something else.
Cool kid is being uniquely you. From a Math geek to a Bodybuilder - what ever rocks your World.

This song used to always play on the radio
it kinda has a "pumped up kicks" sound/vibe
Cyann true true
Spot on.
Cyann Yea...I think it's bc they're a similar genre? Indie-pop/indie rock...
Well, Pumped Up Kicks is about a school shooting, so maybe it's like the sequel to this song lol
Cyann omg yes. It does!
When I was young, I was bullied at school. I was mocked, humiliated, beat up, smacked in the head, spit on and threatened on a daily basis. I'm 58 years old and these scars are still painful. I heard this song for the first time this year and it struck a chord deep within me. While I can't say I want to "be like the cool kids" (meaning the bullies who hurt me); I can say that I know what it's like to be a misfit or a loner. When I first heard this song, I loved it right away because I know what it means to be an outcast. Thank you, Echosmith, for a truly beautiful song.
yeah like we'd believe that, "grandpa". who the fck shares about their personal life experience/dramas on youtube? stfu, you're fooling no one.
So sad to heard you experienced that, also those kids are no cool for bullie others, I was the cool kid becouse I was the best in sport, the best with girls and with others, I never bullie anyone but defend a couple of friends, maybe in the past people were more badly raise, I am 35.
@@20052143 It's good that you defended your friends. Thank you for doing that.
Same, I feel for you buddy. I was always teased that I was gay because my voice is a little higher than everyone else, so I was bullied a lot too. Not gay, but I guess different because of that.
@@st3v3harman I'm sorry you had to tolerate that; yet I'm grateful you've been able to cope with it. At least, as I tell you with an honest heart, it appears as though you have the strength and resolve to move past that successfully.

Wow I didn’t expect to cry while listening to this okay
There is a nostalgic feel to this record...I can't quite put my finger on it exactly, but its like the record is older than it actually is. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. Great track.
lucky9381 It sounds like Numb mixed with Pumped Up Kicks imo
yeah it sounds old school
They were inspired by the "New Wave" in the 80's. So there's that. This song came out during my Junior year in High School, so that's what makes it nostalgic for me.
yeah!
very unique sound....sounds very 1980's...good song
Already 9 years?! Damn... I feel old...
Cool kids playing a song about wanting to be cool kids... damn it’s been so long since I last heard this song. Anyone else find themselves visiting this song? 2021 Edit: I don’t even remember writing this. Weeeird, still think it’s a pretty nostalgic song tho.

The lyric, "They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going," has always stuck with me. It's great.
