Grow
Lianne La Havas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As she stood by my bedside speaking in tongues
And the lovers who cried won't be denied
As they fight for their right to grow, to grow
Please don't turn us down
Don't turn us down
Turn, turn
Turn up the love
Turn up and watch it sing
As we grow
The future we don't know, know
Unless we do it together, together
I requested to know what I did wrong
Cause I sure didn't mean to string you along
But the blood in my body and my heart beat it said
'It's to feel a crime, a crime!'
Please don't turn us down
Won't be turned down
Turn, turn
Turn up the love
Turn up and watch it sing
As we grow
The future we don't know, know
Unless we're together, together
Turn up the love
Turn up and watch it sing
As we grow
The future we don't know, know
Unless we're together, together
Turn up for this love
Got nothing to hide if you get this feeling
Turn up for this love
Take a piece of the sky if you understand
Turn up for this love
Everybody can see that you're getting that feeling
Turn up for this love
Turn turn turn turn!
Turn up the love
Turn up and watch it sing
As we grow
The future we don't know, know
Unless we're together, together
Turn up the love
Turn up and watch it sing
As we grow
The future we don't know, know
Unless we're together, together
The lyrics of Lianne La Havas's song "Grow" are about the struggles of love and the importance of staying together despite the challenges. The first verse speaks of the temptation of evil, but the singer refuses to give in and remains steadfast. The second half of the verse refers to the fighters for love who won't be denied in their quest to grow as individuals and as a couple.
The chorus repeats the call to stay together and turn up the love. The future is uncertain, but the only way to navigate it is by sticking together. The second verse sees the singer questioning what she did wrong in a failed relationship. She wants to learn from her mistakes so she can grow and do better next time. The line "It's to feel a crime, a crime!" suggests that even though the relationship was unsuccessful, it was still important and felt good, so it's not something to regret completely.
The overall message of the song is a reminder that love can be challenging, but it's worth holding onto and fighting for. The future is unclear, but when we work together and amplify our love, we can navigate it successfully.
