Grow
B.A.N.G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you even know what's real
You, oh you. Floating in your bubble
No truth behind how you feel
Honesty - where is she
Hiding, across the sea
When you know, you'll grow
It takes time to show
Say 'Goodbye' and find an end
It takes time to go
Who are we, when the sun comes up
Are we where we're meant to be
When it sets, where do we rest our heads
After we can no longer see
In the dark, one small spark
Buried deep, in my heart
When you know, you'll grow
It takes time to show
Feel the push and pull and then
Say 'Goodbye' and find an end
It takes time to go
When you know, you'll grow
It takes time to show
Feel the push and pull and then
Say 'Goodbye' and find an end
It takes time to go
In B.A.N.G.'s song "Grow," the lyrics explore the idea of self-discovery and personal growth. The opening lines, "Who are you when the lights come on, do you even know what's real?" question the persona's sense of self-awareness and whether they truly know themselves. The line, "You, oh you. Floating in your bubble, no truth behind how you feel," suggests that the persona may be living in a bubble where their emotions are not genuine or authentic.
The metaphor of honesty being across the sea implies that the truth may be far away and difficult to attain. However, with time and effort, the persona can grow and learn to be honest with themselves. The chorus emphasizes this message through the repetition of the line "When you know, you'll grow. It takes time to show." The push and pull mentioned in the lyrics may refer to the inner struggle of self-discovery, as the persona navigates their emotions and learns to be honest with themselves.

See, my hair problem happened as the result of a panic attack induced haircut on myself in Mexico while on a chaotic, stressful vacation, alone, at night. I’m on the struggle bus and HAVE to figure out how to hide this pseudo mullet situation that I’m suffering from.
