Growing Pains
La Roux攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fell through the hole yesterday
Your smile pulled me in like elastic
I felt my mind detonate
Oh, I've made mistakes
And you just say it's just growing
When I feel ashamed
We broke in two like a matchstick
It burns in my soul every day, every day
Your world was to me, so fantastic
And help seemed so far away, far away
Oh, I've made mistakes
And you just say it's just growing
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
You tell me it's just growing pains
Oh, I've made mistakes
And yes I know, it's growing pains
The truth it feels like concrete
I drove into this wall yesterday
I wish I could be realistic
But my children, my dreams, went away
I know I made mistakes
You say it's growing pains
And when I feel ashamed
You say it's growing pains
And I'm crying out for change
You say it's growing pains
I know I made mistakes
I know it's growing pains
Oh, I've made mistakes
And you just say it's just growing
When I feel ashamed
You tell me it's just growing pains
When I'm crying out for change
And oh, I've made mistakes
And yes I know, it's growing pains
The song "Growing Pains" by La Roux is a poignant portrayal of the struggles and challenges of growing up. The first verse of the song features a comparison of the heart melting like plastic, which speaks to the fragility of emotions when one is going through difficult times. The persona recalls falling through a hole, which suggests a deep sense of despair and hopelessness.
The second verse of the song portrays the end of a relationship that was very dear to the persona. The use of the words "broke in two like a matchstick" creates a visual image of something that has been broken and cannot be put back together. The persona reminisces about how beautiful the relationship was and how far away help seemed. This line suggests that the persona may have been struggling with the relationship for some time and could not find the help he/she needed.
The chorus of the song suggests that the persona has been making mistakes but is being told that it's just part of growing up. This line is a reminder that we all make mistakes and that these mistakes teach us and help us grow. The persona is reminded that when he/she feels ashamed or when crying out for change, it is just growing pains.

This is some real crap!
I really sometimes wonder what's wrong with these scriptwriters' brains .
Your wife who is pregnant with your child .......you agreed to divorce her just because you have to 'take care' of some other woman.
Dear scriptwriters taking care of someone out of regret or responsibility is a different thing
And loving someone and then taking caring of that someone is a different thing !
😂
Ridiculous! Lately chinese dramas have disappointed me so much !

Una persona que tiene un problema psicológico y vive en una mentira se le debería decir la verdad y no separar una familia. Mi suegra sufre un trastorno y yo era la única que siempre le sacaba de su error, el psiquiatra dijo que yo era la única que hacía lo correcto. Eso de" darles la razón como a los locos ", no funciona, y no beneficia a nadie.
