When I Grow Up
Dreams Unraveled: Navigating Life's Twists in 'When I Grow Up'
Lyrics
Ask me what
Questioning about aspirations and future goals
I want to be when I grow up
Asking what profession or role one desires in adulthood
Who knows who knows
Uncertainty about the future, acknowledging the unknown
Over, underdogs
People who are typically underestimated or overlooked
We chew each other's paws
Metaphorically referring to conflict or competition among those considered underdogs
Howl howl
Expressing distress or a call for help
I could've done that
Regret or a sense of missed opportunities
I could've been there
Reflecting on what could have been achieved or experienced
I almost became everything you asked
Almost fulfilling expectations or meeting others' desires
Stumbling
Struggling or facing difficulties
Through everything
Enduring challenges and obstacles
It's harder than it's seems, it seems
Highlighting the difficulty of achieving goals despite appearances
Slow your breath mmmm
Advising to slow down and relax
And shut those eyes
Suggesting to take a break or rest
We'll hibernate
Metaphorically referencing a period of rest or retreat
Mmmmmm
Continuation of the advice to relax and unwind
I could have done that
Reiterating missed opportunities or chances
I could have been there
Reflecting on what could have been achieved or experienced (repeated)
I almost became everything you asked
Almost fulfilling expectations or meeting others' desires (repeated)
It's hats to the high road
Choosing the more difficult path or the one less taken
Onward we all go
Moving forward despite challenges
The first turn's the worst one
Emphasizing the difficulty of the initial phase in a journey or pursuit
