Grow
Kidnap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will chase the footsteps
The ones we walk for years
Lies that lead just rightback
Lead us right back here

And time will always march on right
Not so far away
But love will lead us right back
Lead us right back here

Oh I said, oh my friend
Will you dance all night with me
Oh my friend
Will you dance all night with me

Bodies start to rush as we
Both see every word
Happy that we both are back
Yeah we're both back here

Time will always march on right
Not so far away
But love will lead us right back
Lead us right back here

Oh I said, oh my friend
Will you dance all night with me
Oh my friend
Will you dance all night with me

Oh I said, oh my friend, yeah
If you dance all night with me
Right back here
Oh my friend
If you dance all night with me





Oh I said, oh my friend
Oh my friend

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Grow" by Kidnap feat. Leo Stannard appears to be a song about the power of love to bring us back to where we belong. The first verse mentions chasing footsteps which we've walked for years and how lies can lead us right back to where we started. The idea being that we sometimes lose our way but love always brings us back to where we belong. The second verse mentions rushing bodies as the characters are intertwined by every word while they rejoice at being back together. It is also mentioned that time always marches on, but love is the one thing that can stand the test of time and bring us back to the person or place we belong to.


The chorus is an invitation to the singer's friend to dance with them all night long. Dancing is a metaphor for being together, enjoying each other's company, and feeling alive. The repetition of the words "oh my friend" implies that this song is dedicated to a close friend, and the singer is hoping to reconnect and rekindle their bond through dancing and spending time together.


Overall, the message of the song is about the tumultuous journey that we all face in life, but the idea that the people and places we love will always lead us back to where we belong. The love between friends is the powerful bond that can help us find our way home, no matter how far away we stray.

i don't know if you have a word for this in english, but we got something we call "Fernweh" in Germany. It means you want to go out and see an other place than your hometown or even country and you dream yourself to places you'd love to be (California sunset, mountains, sea, island, big fields in sunset aso...). Just away from home and the all-day-rountine.




hope you undestand what I mean. search for english definitions or so if not.

I will chase the footsteps
That once we walk for years
Lies there lead just right back
Leads us right back here
And time will always march on right
Not so far away
But love will leads us right back
Leads us right back here
Oh I said ooh, my friend
Will you dance all night with me?
Ooh, my friend
Will you dance all night with me?
Bodies start to rush as we
Both see every word
Happy that we both back here
Yeah, we're both back here
And time will always march on right
Not so far away
But love will leads us right back
Leads us right back here
Oh I said ooh, my friend
Will you…

@aaa-ej4fl

in english, it's "wanderlust"
the strong desire to travel and see the world.

@gabrieltiefenthaler5841

Kenn ich zu gut😪

@hinonny8005

@@aaa-ej4fl we do have that in German, too XDD. But it has a pretty similar meaning. So... Ye. It's an word consisting out of two original words: wandern=to go hiking and die lust=yeah it's just desire in English, too.
