DI-RECT - 90s KID

Those who grew up in the nineties are likely to remember this feeling that anything was possible. Whatever you imagined could be built, whatever was broken could be fixed. Sure, times change, nothing is forever - but looking at the vulnerable state of mankind today we can now see an especially sharp contrast with that spirit of invincibility. Let’s try to rekindle that flame.

90s kid Lyrics

Everyone could do it
There was nothing to it
And you only had to listen to yourself

Skipping class and be moody
Stitching patches on blue jeans
In a land of teenage dreams and cheap motels

Superhero suicide
Streets ablaze with candlelight
A getaway is all I ever wanted

Thinking of what I did
When I was a nineties kid
Feels like a lifetime

Working on a miracle
Better not be cynical
So go live it up now, this is the right time

Rise above the physical
Cranking up a stereo, baby
If we could just get high on life again

Thinking of what I did
When I was a nineties kid

Panic rules the world
For all you boys and girls
Save the lost ones crying for attention

Desolate identities
Fifteen second memories
How much for some genuine affection?

Cause I’m a nineties kid
Something I won’t forget
But feels like a lifetime

Working on a miracle
Better not be cynical
So go live it up now, this is the right time

Rise above the physical
Cranking up a stereo, baby
If we could just get high on life again

Thinking of what I did
When I was a nineties kid
Feels like a lifetime

Every one could do it
There was nothing to it
And you only had to listen to yourself

Go live it up now
This is the right time

I’m thinking of what I did
When I was a nineties kid
Feels like a lifetime

Thinking of what I did
When I was a nineties kid
