about

Cola Boyy says: "This track is the culmination of a true friendship. In 2018, MGMT invited me on their tour, during which we became very close. I spent time with Andrew in his studio at home in New York. When I played him "Kid Born in Space", he liked it straight away and everything happened naturally from there: James Richardson played guitars and keyboards, Patrick Wimberly (Chairlift) engineered and refined the production, and then Andrew and I finished it up in LA. I am really grateful to them. When I was a kid I was convinced that no one could understand what I was going through and feeling, I was embittered and angry. The song is me explaining to my younger self to let go of worries about people staring or not understanding. Everyone has their struggles, and problems that shape them."

lyrics

Lyrics:

You don't have to walk and feel those eyes
You don't have to strut and feel them stare
You don't have to walk
You don't have to talk
Every single day it's just the same

You don't have to walk
You don't have to talk
You don't have to strut and feel them stare

When I was a boy I was criticized
Now I flipped it and I'm happy inside
My neckerchief is tight
My shorty's looking bright
Everything is taking flight today

You don't have to walk
You don't have to talk
You don't have to strut and feel them stare

You don't have to walk (you don't have to walk)
You don't have to talk (you don't have to talk)
You don't have to strut and feel them stare (you don't have to strut and feel them stare)

I see them looking down on my dreams of being
I hear them making fun of my voice

But I keep on moving forward
I refuse to live in anyone else's shadow

Light me up a smoke I'll be ok
Bring me my guitar and I'll dream away
I'm a new man compared to the old me
Don't believe it then just listen to this

You don't have to walk
You don't have to talk
You don't have to strut and feel them stare

You don't have to walk (you don't have to walk)
You don't have to talk (you don't have to talk)
You don't have to strut and feel them stare (you don't have to strut and feel them stare)
