Growing Pains
Bingo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On planet earth just sitting here waiting for a catastrophe to hit
No, I don't ever want to live my life
Working hard at a nine to five
Knowing damn well I can do better
Oh I'm sick of this tether between mind over matter
So where do I run when this bipolar world is out to get me
What's responsibility
When you don't need a dime or material things to live happily
There's more to life and you'll see
That when you're living less than earnest
Life will just seem like it's worthless
I'm just taking everything I've learned
And painting a picture perfect purpose
Sometimes I wish I had a time machine
I'd go back to when I was thirteen,
When I used to go to shows like thrice
And The Movielife man those were the times, yeah
Just hanging with my friends
Always living life like it's the weekend
I'm sick of this tether between mind over matter and this bipolar weather
What's responsibility
When you don't need a dime or material things to live happily
There's more to life and you'll see
That when you're living less than earnest
Life will just seem like it's worthless
I'm just taking everything I've learned
And painting a picture perfect purpose
Oh a picture perfect purpose, a picture perfect purpose
I don't feel like growing up
I don't feel like wasting time
On planet earth just sitting here
waiting for something to happen. Bingo's song "Growing Pains" explores the feeling of wanting to stay young and carefree forever. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as Bingo sings about not wanting to grow up or waste time on mundane things. Rather, he wants to live life to the fullest and find a purpose that will make him happy. He feels that working a nine to five job or being tied down to responsibilities will only hinder his ability to enjoy life.
Throughout the song, Bingo grapples with the idea of responsibility and how it fits into his idea of happiness. He questions whether material possessions and money are truly necessary for a happy life, and instead looks for a deeper purpose that will bring him fulfillment. The chorus repeats the idea that life is meaningless without an earnest pursuit of purpose. Bingo longs to find his place in the world, and to break free from the constraints that keep him tethered to a life he doesn't want.
The bridge provides a moment of nostalgia, as Bingo yearns for the carefree days of adolescence when he enjoyed going to concerts with his friends. He contrasts this with the sometimes confusing and uncertain world he currently finds himself in, where he feels like a victim of bipolar weather and a bipolar world that's out to get him. Despite these struggles, Bingo remains optimistic and continues to strive towards his picture-perfect purpose.
