Girl
Navigating Life's Maze: White Lung's 'Girl' Reveals the Struggles of Growing Up
Lyrics
Go cherry pick
Encouragement to select carefully and choose wisely
Your bag of tricks
Suggesting the use of clever tactics or strategies
Get on the town before it gets on you
Advise to enjoy life before it becomes overwhelming
Alleviate
Relieve oneself from the burdens or responsibilities
The baby weight
Overcoming the challenges of motherhood or obligations
Sleep all day when you take your mind off the prize
Indulging in leisure when distractions are put aside
Bawl out your eyes
Cry intensely as a form of emotional release
Just wait until you’re grown girl
Patience advised until maturity is reached
Just wait for the fight
Anticipating and preparing for life's struggles
Just wait until you’re known girl
Expecting recognition or success in the future
Just wait until it’s alright
Assurance that things will eventually be okay
I must confess
Admitting a potential for feeling down or discouraged
You’ll get depressed
Acknowledging the likelihood of depression
When the girls all turn on you
Expecting betrayal or negativity from other women
My pretty beam
Expressing support and allegiance to the listener
I’m on your team
Asserting loyalty and camaraderie
I’ll never let you get so numb from the strain
Promising to prevent desensitization to life's challenges
Take all the pain
Encouraging resilience and endurance through pain
Just wait until you’re grown girl
Reiteration of patience until maturity
Just wait for the fight
Emphasizing the need to prepare for struggles
Just wait until you’re known girl
Repeating the expectation of future recognition
Just wait until it’s alright
Reassurance that everything will eventually be alright
Go cherry pick
Repetition of the advice to choose wisely
Your bag of tricks
Reiterating the use of clever tactics or strategies
Get on the world before it swallows you
Warning to engage with the world before it becomes overwhelming
Just wait
Repetition of the advice to wait patiently
Just wait
