Going Pains
Embracing Freedom: Future Teens' 'Going Pains' Unveils the Liberation of Solitude
Lyrics
It's gonna feel so good to miss you
Anticipating the positive feeling of missing someone
To have this bed to myself
Enjoying the freedom of having the bed to oneself
To go somewhere new and do something cool
Excitement about exploring new places and engaging in interesting activities
And know you're all set somewhere else
Being reassured that the person is settled and doing well elsewhere
There are days it's much harder
Acknowledging the challenging days when missing someone feels more difficult
And sometimes you feel farther
Feeling emotionally distant at times from the person being missed
But I know that you're working
Acknowledging the other person's efforts and commitments
I know you're just fine
Belief that the other person is doing well despite the distance
You've got your own things
Recognition that both individuals have their own separate lives and priorities
I've got mine
Acceptance of having personal endeavors and pursuits apart from the other person
I'm so glad to be gone
Expressing happiness about being away despite challenging situations
Even when it all sucks
Even when things are difficult, still content with being away
And your life moves along
Recognizing the other person's progress in life after separation
It's a gift to be gone
Seeing the separation as a valuable opportunity
Looking forward to being bored
Excitement about the prospect of mundane activities in familiar settings
Sprawling out on old friends' basement floors
Enthusiasm about spending time in a relaxed environment with old friends
Burritos again, it's the third time this week
Repetition of a simple pleasure (eating burritos) as a routine
Might as well just get takeout when I'm only feeding me
Considering practicality in food choices when only responsible for oneself
I'm still glad to be gone
Continued satisfaction despite challenges of being away
Even when it all sucks
Acceptance of difficulties but still content with the separation
And if life doesn't stop
Acknowledging that life doesn't pause or wait during separation
We'll make it a gift to be gone
Embracing the idea that even amidst life's ongoing challenges, being away is seen as a gift
When going pains us this long
Dealing with the enduring challenges of being apart
We'll say it's a gift to be gone
Deciding to view the situation positively as a gift despite the prolonged difficulty
til it feels true enough
Continuing to reinforce the positive perspective until it becomes genuine
