Way to Grow
Emmi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say i'm not beautiful, i'm pretty
Oh, what a pity

I think my daddy always wanted a beautiful girl
Mmm... you say you don't want your beliefs be

Raped by every saint in this land
I hear you there

Way to grow, what a way to grow oh god I hate everyone and everything
Do you think that is a sin?

I hate barbies and guns and all that is now
Oh how? way to grow, what a way to grow

No ones looking
And no ones listening

You pull me under
Steal my comfort





That is all I wish to say

Overall Meaning

In the song "Way to Grow" by Emmi, the lyrics express deep emotional turmoil and feelings of inadequacy. The opening lines reflect someone criticizing the singer's appearance, stating that they are not beautiful but only pretty, leading to a sense of disappointment. The mention of the singer's father wanting a beautiful girl adds a layer of pressure and societal standards that have been placed upon them.


The lyrics then shift to a more introspective tone as the singer questions the beliefs they have been taught and how they have been influenced by those around them. The reference to having one's beliefs "raped by every saint in this land" suggests a feeling of being overwhelmed and controlled by external influences. This theme of struggling with outside expectations and pressures continues throughout the song.


The chorus of "Way to grow, what a way to grow oh god I hate everyone and everything, Do you think that is a sin?" portrays a sense of disillusionment and anger towards the world and the people in it. The singer questions whether their feelings of hatred and frustration are wrong or sinful, highlighting a conflict between their inner emotions and societal norms. The repetition of "way to grow" emphasizes the theme of personal growth and self-discovery amid adversity.


The closing lines of the song convey a sense of isolation and vulnerability, with the singer feeling unseen and unheard by those around them. The imagery of being pulled under and having their comfort stolen suggests a sense of betrayal and loss. The final line, "That is all I wish to say," encapsulates the raw emotion and honesty of the lyrics, offering a glimpse into the singer's inner struggles and desire to express themselves authentically. Overall, the song delves into themes of self-image, societal pressures, and the complexities of personal growth and acceptance.

Hey everyone!

I just started doing this 15min stretch.
As I do this daily, I will update you on how it goes. I am aiming to get longer and slimmer legs so that I can increase my height, I just hope my growth plate haven’t closed but I’ll have to wait and see.

I am a 16 yr old female & I have grown about 1cm before this stretch. I stand at a height of about 5ft6 .6cm (I think)- sometimes Google doesn’t really calculate height properly…
- I will measure my height every month.

Height goal - 1. 5ft 7
2. 5ft 8

🌈 Day 2 (30/5): once at 8AM, i woke up and i felt pain in my shoulders, legs, arms, this time when i exercised i felt more pain TT ✅

I have been doing these stretches since last week (I did it for 3 days) and this week I did it for three days too and let me tell you I haven't grown a single centimetre since 2020 and I was in depression but then I decided to workout this year and after doing these stretches for only 6 days I grew 2 cm!!!!! (I was 153 cm and now I'm 155 cm)
I LEGIT CANT FREAKING BELIEVE IT MY HEIGHT WAS SUCH A BIG INSECURITY FOR ME 😭😭
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH EMI ❤️❤️❤️
I'll measure myself after 2 weeks and let y'all know if I grow more or if my thighs get slimmer

Day 6: ✔️
Day 7: ✔️
Day 8: ✔️
Day 9: ✔️
after 9days I had that time of the month so couldn't do it :/
Edit: I have been feeling like shit mentally and its really hard to wake up in morning as I have to catch my bus for school at 6am
I have been feeling really demotivated and I just couldn't bring it upon myself to continue this stretching routine and I have been constantly binge eating a lot of sugar oily and unhealthy food(which i was trying to avoid). School has been really tough and it's really stressing me out mentally
I am really sorry guys but I won't be able to continue the stretches but I'll surely try to continue my exercise routine when my exams are over and I'll start eating healthy too and also look after my mental health too.
I hope whoever is reading this is doing mentally and physically well and I just want to say that these stretches do work.
I'll update when I'll start stretching again.



Edit: Guys my exams are over so I am starting these stretches again and I am also doing emi's 30 min HIIT along with it (I'm also eating healthy avoiding too much carbs and sugar)

Hi guys i wanted to do this workout and write here my progress (sorry if i made mistakes but I'm italian)
Well, in 3 months I will be 14 and I wanted to change before school starts.
- So this is me now:
▪︎ Age: 13½
▪︎ Weight: around 50 kg
▪︎ Height:159cm

• lilly sabri's flat stomach workout (7 days) •
• kim balanay's arm workout •

I've been doing this for almost 2 months. I would say it's really effective. My legs are now more longer and pretty slim. I highly recommend this one!

Ashley Yajko

You won't get taller but your legs can get slimer and appear elongated. Girls csn grow until they are like 16 (basically until puberty ends, so it varies of course) so if you're around this age then it's very possible you are simply growing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is just promoting that growth.

Jahnavi Gangadi

if we do these stretches would our booty will grow?

Berry

@Sleepy Time 80% of height is genetics
the other 20% is growth hormones etc
i’m betting on that 20%

ItzNikiChan :D

Does this get rid of bulky thighs???

Niva J

Coming from older person. After 20 we don’t really grow so, I didn’t really grow tall but it did help in my flexibility 🙂
