Blame It On The Kids

AViVA's song 'Blame It On The Kids' is a powerful anthem that delves into the struggles and frustrations of youth who are often misunderstood and unfairly blamed for societal issues. The lyrics convey a sense of entrapment and helplessness, as the protagonist feels they are constantly being watched and judged, unable to escape the chains of blame placed upon them. The repetition of 'Never gon' get away, never gon' get away, never gon' break their chains' underscores the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of blame and judgment.

The chorus, 'Don’t blame it on the kids,' serves as a direct plea to society to stop scapegoating the younger generation for problems they did not create. This line is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the desperation and urgency of the message. The song suggests that the real issues lie elsewhere, and that blaming the youth is a way to avoid addressing deeper, systemic problems. The lines 'Say their names, we won’t forget' and 'This is not your fight, not your fight' highlight the importance of recognizing individual identities and struggles, rather than lumping all young people together as a monolithic group to be blamed.

The bridge of the song, 'Come out, where your pretty faces hiding? Come out, I don’t see no point in lying,' calls for honesty and transparency. It challenges those in power to face the truth and stop hiding behind false narratives. The song's overall tone is one of defiance and resilience, urging the younger generation to stand up and refuse to accept the blame for issues beyond their control. AViVA's unique musical style, characterized by its dark, edgy pop sound, complements the song's themes of rebellion and resistance, making 'Blame It On The Kids' a compelling and thought-provoking piece.
