The White Stripes - We're Going To Be Friends Lyrics Meaning
anonymous May 30th 2013 !⃝I always like to think about the song as the story of life.
"hear the yell" - birth
Then he talks about living and making friends with no worries at all, up until the teacher:
"teacher marks our height against the wall" and "Teacher thinks that I sound funny but she likes the way you sing" - the teacher is a metaphor for society, and it's judging, categorizing; the beginnings of discrimination and prejudices.
"we don't notice any time pass, we don't notice anything" is the monotomy of the adult life and the quick time passage
Now the bed and sleeping is the end of life - death. "Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed when silly thoughts go through my head about the bugs and alphbet" - at the end, thinking about his youth and his life
"And when I wake tommorow I'll bet that you and I will walk together again" - hope for a life after death, perhaps heaven
But then again, this is my interpretation
