The Pain
Navigating Life's Turmoil: The Pain in Growing Up
Lyrics
Worried about the same things after school
Concerns about persistent worries after completing school.
Now you’re fully grown in your living room
Reflecting on adulthood in the comfort of one's living space.
All this he said she said what are you gonna do
Dealing with gossip and rumors, uncertain about actions to take.
Focus on the concrete in front of you
Advises focusing on immediate, tangible issues.
Things will work out one day maybe
Expresses hope that things will improve, possibly through logical steps.
If I just do a b + c
Believes in resolving issues through a systematic approach.
Figure out what’s wrong with me
Attempts to identify personal flaws.
Fix myself accordingly
Intention to self-improve based on identified issues.
Funny you can laugh about it now
Reflects on the ability to find humor in past challenges.
Didn’t notice time settle it down
Realization that time can bring calmness to challenging situations.
Remember when you thought you couldn’t climb out
Recollection of overcoming a moment of doubt.
Remember it now
Stresses the importance of remembering past struggles.
Cause it’s not up and down it’s round and round.
Emphasizes life's cyclical nature rather than linear ups and downs.
Figured out she’s the one but she doesn’t see
Realization that someone significant may not reciprocate feelings.
Taking it to heart starts in infancy
Suggests emotional sensitivity starting from early stages of life.
What have you done to rid yourself of the pain
Asks about efforts made to overcome personal pain.
It’s no good to just sit around and wait
Discourages passivity and encourages proactive measures against pain.
