pretty kids (lyrics)

just off the highway
beyond the potted primrose
they’re there in absentia
it’s a gallant faint hole

no no you’re not invited
the doors always closed
there's an ugly inside it
it’s where the pretty kids go
it’s where the pretty kids go

at the end of somewhere
just beyond the turn
theres a distant fire
i can smell it burn

see the shadows dancing
in the amber glow
just outside of nowhere
it’s where the pretty kids go
it’s where the pretty kids go

bad intentons
broken by design
no exceptions
we’re just wasting time
if you don’t drink the kool-aid
then you’ll really never know
what poison tastes like

it’s where the pretty kids go
it’s where the pretty kids go
it’s where the pretty kids go
go
go go

just below the city
above the noise
running straight into madness

Mehro doesn't make music, mehro makes art ✨✨👑🥀💞

This song feels like there's been some pretty big shiftings and evolutions in you and your voice is showing some nuances and different shades and colors which I like. Musically and personally I am loving your unfurling and growing. Keep spreading and being the love, Mehro and thank you for sharing with us your journey, your soul and your inner life. Best is yet to come! With much love <3

Your music is like the stars shining in the dark sky, we can all see it, but everyone gives it a different meaning.
Every song touch the heart of your tulips in a special and unique way.
Thank you for transforming cold days into warm days and sharing your talent with the world.

You know something is done thoroughly and perfectly when it says "directed by mehro". pretty kids is the description of Gen Z, at least i can see it that way. Gen Z is losing its essence and its destiny. Our culture is changing fast and teenagers are confused. There seem to be no answers but we are getting to the point where no one will listen to someone else's point of view unless they completely agree with them. But I am a believer that a broken design can be mended. I have always told you that you are a blessing to our generation. You have the right words because you listen to us. And not everyone does that. I'm getting more and more excited to tell everyone about you. Please keep creating and I promise you that even when I'm old, in my heart I will always be that pretty kid who loves mehro's music. I will always love you🖤

[noahgiove]

I love how this song, in my understanding, shows perfectly what it feels like to be an outsider. To be distanced from the "Pretty kids" or the popular kids, even if you sometimes hang out with them. It really gets the feeling right. How you can hang out with them and chat, laugh. But then are never invited anywhere. You can't go where the pretty kids do.

[clauchuc]

Something made me sobbing before the premiere starts. You said "we all are here together, sharing this moment, is beautiful" and that meant the whole world, it makes anyone feel part of it 🖤

[sloaneh]

To anyone reading this have a beautiful night

[ade]

This song is such a vibe, not only for my dark times but for my happy ones too

[fall]

So glad YouTube recommended “chance with you” cause now I found all your music and I’m in love

[collazos__]

Not only a great singer and musician but also an amazing director. You are such a talented man, Mehro. Looking forward for your complete album. You only create art, I'm very pleasant for discovering your music years ago.

[sloaneh]

Mehro needs to come to Cincinnati or Dayton asap

[zeeblackmamba]

Did I just hear this in a commercial! 😱 I could name that song in 1 note! Congratulations Mehro! The world needs your gift! 🤟💗

[palomamorales]

Every music video you have put out has made me realize how good you are at this, how each time you also improve as a music director. I feel that for you there is nothing more incredible and impressive than giving life to the ideas you once conceived.
So cool to see how you got involved the fans into this amazing project. Genuinely and without a doubt I believe this music video will depict and make the song itself something so memorable, that many (including myself) will feel reflected into this.
So stocked for this already! Can’t wait to watch it!!

[oohelenaelena]

by the way, anyone who manages to put potted primrose, amber glow, and kool-aid in the same song has all my respect. your creativity has no limits. and so my admiration for you

[marianabarrera]

I was lucky enough to be at the shoot, one of those "I did this when I was younger" things I wanted to have. Walked in right when they were filming the OD scene, not gonna lie, it was rough, had a few friends just up and dissappear physically or mentally after it. It's easy to believe in invincibility until life begs to differ. Glamour isn't very glamorous, so cheers to the pretty kids who never got to be the wildly beautiful adults they would have grown into and one more for the pretty kids just trying to figure it out. Thanks for an awesome song and a beautiful video.♦️♦️🤟

[irem]

I am one of the uninviteds, so here to watch where the pretty kids go <3

[andrearuiz]

I love that Mehro directs most of his music videos. Together with his team, they always do something visually beautiful. This year I am going to start studying cinematography at the university and that excites me a lot. I hope to learn a lot from this beautiful art of creating audiovisuals. So I can't wait to see this. Mehro puts a lot of effort into his work, which I find very admirable. He's so professional haha I love him.

[sloaneh]

It's where the mehro fans go<333

[maddisonrose]

Omg this Bloke is so talented!! Such a beautiful voice !!

[jiadotsomething]

This is definitely the prettiest song I’ve heard in a while
