Growing Up
Navigating Life's Turbulence: Growing Up with Sleep Away Camp
Lyrics
I told Delilah I can't come out
I informed Delilah that I cannot go outside
I'm not exactly sure it's cool yet
Uncertain if it's socially acceptable yet
No sitting down I could scream and shout
No sitting down, I feel the urge to express loudly
You're not protecting anyone
Challenging the idea that someone is being protected
Maybe your rights are just dangerous
Possibly questioning the legitimacy of certain rights
Maybe I'm a real sick bastard
Suggesting a self-aware acknowledgment of disturbing thoughts
You could still fight for the both of us
Encouraging someone to fight on behalf of both individuals
Surely there's a something after
Expressing hope or curiosity about what comes after a situation
This could be a real disaster
Acknowledging the possibility of a significant negative outcome
Growing up
Emphasizing the theme of the song: the challenges of growing up
It isn't easy but you can't stop now
Stating that the process of growing up is difficult but must continue
Would you run
Pondering if one would choose to escape or face the challenges
I guess I'm nervous that I'll let you down
Expressing anxiety about disappointing someone
Packing my car I won't be back soon
Packing belongings, indicating a departure with an uncertain return
Why do I do half the shit that I do
Reflecting on engaging in actions without clear reasons
Listen up
Calling attention to an important message or statement
This isn't easy but you can't stop now
Reiterating the difficulty of the growing-up process
I still remember when we first met
Recalling the initial meeting with someone
You're still obsessed with how it ended
Noting an ongoing fixation on the way a relationship ended
Been doing better, I must confess
Admitting personal improvement while confessing past struggles
I've seen exactly who you are
Claiming insight into the true nature of someone
Darling this fight could be dangerous
Warning that a particular argument or fight may have consequences
Maybe is still miss the laughter
Suggesting a longing for the return of joy and laughter
Stand for what's right or you fall for us
Encouraging standing up for what is right to avoid failure for the collective
Surely there's a something after
Repeating the idea of anticipating something after a situation
Baby you're the real disaster
Labeling someone as a significant problem or challenge
Growing up
Reiterating the central theme of the difficulties of growing up
It isn't easy but you can't stop now
Emphasizing the continuous nature of the growing-up process
Would you run
Asking if one would choose to escape from challenges
I guess I'm nervous that I'll let you down
Expressing anxiety about failing to meet expectations
Packing my car I won't be back soon
Preparing to leave, indicating an extended absence
Why do I do half the shit that I do
Questioning one's own motivations and actions
Listen up
Reiterating the difficulty of the growing-up process
This isn't easy but you can't stop now
Repeating the message that one cannot stop the process of growing up
Listen up
-This isn't easy but you can't stop now
Reiterating the idea that the growing-up process must continue
