    the fact that this comes out at the midst of so much child perversion in the artistic industry emphasizes how much she respects children and wants to protect them. theyre holding guns that dont even look like guns. theyre dancing like they know they look so cool and playing games with each other and being innocent. im so grateful we can see a perfect example of how to make a truly amazing and sick work of art centered on children without abusing the fact that theres children involved. this is so cool and as someone whos been following whats been going on these days with children in the media, im proud to be a fan of someone like you.

      Unlike a lot of artists, Kerli is a fine wine, and she gets better with age...
      Or, maybe it's because she now has full creative control as an independent artist.

    This is amazing! Also as someone who does music videos, I just want to say how impressed I am with how well those kids did in the shots, it takes a lot of patience to be on set in costumes like that! Every bit of costume design was immaculate and gets a 10 from me!!! Keep up the amazing work 💕🎀

    I really wish people would stop. Comparing Kerli to Balenciaga… there’s a difference between exploiting kids and the whole point of protecting innocence and youth. And I feel people forgot the difference. And the occult symbol which is also used in alchemy is the symbol of mercury which represents ✨purification ✨
    Ignorance is evident in these comments. Please stop fearing true knowledge. As a fellow moonchild and Elvan folk this Elvan priestess know what she’s doing. This song even speaks to my inner child. It’s an emotional thing. At least for me💖🌙✨ thank you @kerlimusic for blessing us

    LYRICS:
    We left our homes, Went to cities
    Grass was greener, skies were pretty
    Dreams were big and money low
    Didn't matter, we'd still go
    Broke some hearts and got ours broken
    Built a fortune, had it taken
    Lived it up high in the clouds
    Almost died when crashing down
    What doesn't kill you makes you humble
    No one can be forever young though
    I put my middle one up in the air
    'Cause fuck it, I'm doing the best that I can here
    21st century kids
    I'm a little reckless and I skinned my knees
    Trying to find something that I believe
    'Cause I just wanna break free, I wanna break free
    21st century kids
    I'm a little reckless and I skinned my knees
    Trying to find something that I believe
    'Cause I just wanna break free, I wanna break free
    We left our homes, went to cities
    Lights were brighter, streets were gritty
    Stakes were high and chances low
    Didn't matter, we'd still go
    Traded gold for all that glitter
    Found a God while in the gutter
    And only thanks to my fake friends
    I know which ones are 'til the end
    What doesn't kill you makes you humble
    No one can be forever young though
    I put my middle one up in the air
    'Cause fuck it, I'm doing the best that I can here
    21st century kids
    I'm a little reckless and I skinned my knees
    Trying to find something that I believe
    'Cause I just wanna break free, I wanna break free
    21st century kids
    I'm a little reckless and I skinned my knees
    Trying to find something that I believe
    'Cause I just wanna break free, I wanna break free
    'Cause I just wanna break free, I wanna break free

    I'm been a moon child since I was born and kerli has always made me feel accepted into her moon children, I've loved her since she first started posting on UA-cam. I can't thank you enough kerli.
