Lyrics
Feeling sorry for myself
Expressing self-pity and a sense of sadness.
Cause I've got nobody to blame
Acknowledging personal responsibility without anyone else to blame.
I'm an emotional masochist
Describing oneself as someone who enjoys emotional pain.
Kiss me twice and say my name
Desiring affection and recognition through physical gestures.
I'm not paid enough to smile
Implying dissatisfaction with compensation for the effort.
And I'll see today again
Anticipating a repetitive and mundane day.
I'm just treading water treading water
Feeling stagnant and not making progress.
Stuck in the middle oh
Expressing being stuck in a difficult situation.
Please leave the music on
Requesting to keep the music playing for comfort.
I'm far too tired to sleep
Feeling too exhausted to rest.
I'll turn those lights off
Deciding to turn off lights, possibly to create a calm atmosphere.
I've got these growing pains
Referring to emotional or psychological difficulties.
Keeping me wide awake
Highlighting persistent challenges causing sleeplessness.
Woah woah
Expressing emotions with a vocalization.
Now I'm hiding from the ladders
Avoiding potential risks or challenges.
And I'm sliding down those snakes
Experiencing setbacks and challenges.
Woah, woah
Reiterating the theme of facing and overcoming challenges.
Growing Pains
Repeating the title, emphasizing the theme of personal growth.
You're talking to my face
Describing a disconnection from the conversation.
Whilst I dissociate
Being mentally detached from the surroundings.
And most of what you say is just telling me that
Perceiving advice as a harsh reality check.
This is the real world so you'd better get used to it
Struggling with adapting to the challenges of reality.
But I keep choosing moves that make me blue and I'm struggling to swim
Making choices that lead to sadness and difficulty.
Please leave the music on
Requesting to keep the music playing despite exhaustion.
I'm far too tired to sleep
Reiterating exhaustion, emphasizing the need for rest.
I'll turn those lights off
Turning off lights as a symbolic gesture of solitude.
I've got these growing pains
Repeating the theme of emotional and psychological challenges.
Keeping me wide awake
Highlighting the ongoing struggle affecting sleep.
Woah woah
Repeating the vocalization to convey intense emotions.
Now I'm hiding from the ladders
Avoiding challenges and difficulties.
And I'm sliding down those snakes
Experiencing setbacks and challenges again.
Woah, woah
Repeating the intense emotional vocalization.
Growing Pains, Growing Pains
Reiterating the theme of personal growth and challenges.
And they're hiding in my brain
Expressing that the growing pains are within the mind.
You don't know the pain
Emphasizing that others may not understand the pain.
Growing pains
Repeating the concept of personal growth with difficulty.
Keeping me wide awake
Continuing to experience challenges that hinder sleep.
Woah woah
Repeating the intense emotional vocalization.
Now I'm hiding from those ladders
Avoiding potential risks or challenges once again.
And I'm sliding down those snakes
Experiencing setbacks and challenges again.
Woah, woah
Repeating the intense emotional vocalization.
