Thin Growing Thing
Pure Bathing Culture Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wear a ring
For each thin growing thing
In each thin growing thing
You can feel it
Yeah you can feel it
In green and gray
In sunshine and in shade
In starlight and in rain
And in the sharpest blade
You can feel it

You can feel it
Yeah you can feel it
You can feel it
Yeah you can feel it
You can feel it
Yeah you can feel it yeah

My lonely dove
I know it hurts, it does
But no there is no love
Without the lovers
Without the lovers
Sent from above
Yeah I know it fucks you up
But what else can you trust
If you can feel it
Yeah you can feel it

You can feel it
Yeah you can feel it
You can feel it
Yeah you should feel it
You can feel it
Yeah you should feel

You should lift love
Lift for love and live for something
Lift for love and live through something
Lift for love and live through something else

My lemon light
I know what's on your mind
If it's all that you can find
Then you should feel it

Yeah you should feel it
You can feel it
Yeah you can feel it
You can feel it
Yeah you should feel it
You can feel it
Yeah you should feel

You should lift for love
Lift for love and live for something
You can lift for love and live through something
Lift for love and live through something else

You can feel it
Yeah you should feel it
Oh, c'mon feel it
Yeah you should feel it




You can feel it
Yeah you should feel it yeah

I wear a ring
I carry a reminder


For each thin growing thing
For every fragile and delicate living organism that exists


In each thin growing thing
In every blade of grass and every leaf on a tree


You can feel it
You can sense it's there


Yeah you can feel it
You can definitely sense it's there


In green and gray
In the vibrant green of nature and the dull grey of concrete


In sunshine and in shade
In the bright sunlight and peaceful shade


In starlight and in rain
In every starry night and every rainy day


And in the sharpest blade
Even in sharp and dangerous objects


You can feel it
You can sense it's there


My lonely dove
My dear friend who is feeling isolated and alone


I know it hurts, it does
I understand that pain can be overwhelming


But no there is no love

Without the lovers
Without the willing participants in love

Placed in our lives with a purpose

One of my favourite albums of the past ten years, really a thing of beauty.
It makes me think of the young childhood friends you had wild adventures with; when you see them now later in life and you’re both somewhat worn down and withdrawn, but you remember a specific adventure and you wonder if they do too.

Hunter Merritt

Loving this video! Fits the aesthetic of the music perfectly. One of the best albums in recent memory

Zach Cook

AH this video is so cool! Love the style y'all have, definitely one of the best albums of the past few years

John Hanrahan

My favorite Pure Bathing Culture song. I hope to one day see you play it live.

Andrew Buchanan-Carter

They get better with every album basically. I found Pray for Rain to be underwhelming in it's less lush, more stripped down and minimal sound, but this album is a breathtaking work of art.

Wil D

Oooh her voice 🎼🎶🎵
