Thin Growing Thing
Pure Bathing Culture Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The Thin Growing Thing is a song by Pure Bathing Culture that talks about the various aspects of life that keep on growing, regardless of time and hardships. The singer mentions wearing a ring for each thin growing thing. Each ring represents something that keeps growing, such as plants, relationships, and even love. These things can be felt in different circumstances, such as in green and gray, sunshine and shade, starlight and rain, and even in the sharpest blade. The singer emphasizes that we can feel these things, and we should feel them because they are part of life.
The singer also talks about the pain that comes with love. The lonely dove can feel the hurt, but there is no love without the lovers. The singer emphasizes the importance of feeling and trusting love, even if it can hurt. The lemon light on the singer’s mind is a reminder that life can be bitter, but we should feel it and find something to live for.
Throughout the song, the singer encourages the listeners to lift for love and live for something. Life may be tough, but there are things that keep on growing and keep on living. These things are what we should focus on and find something to lift and live for. The Thin Growing Thing is a poetic reminder that life is full of growth and pain, but we can find purpose in it and live through it.
Line by Line Meaning
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
Love does not exist without the vulnerability to get hurt
Without the lovers
Without the willing participants in love
Sent from above
Placed in our lives with a purpose
Yeah I know it fucks you up
I know that it can be emotionally traumatizing and disruptive
But what else can you trust
What else can provide the same depth of connection and trust
If you can feel it
If you can sense it's worth
You should feel it
You should understand it's worth
You should lift love
You should strive to elevate and enhance love
Lift for love and live for something
Seek to make love a priority and find meaning in life through it
Lift for love and live through something
Rise and overcome challenges together, supported by love
Lift for love and live through something else
Find meaning and purpose beyond just love, but let love be the motivation
My lemon light
My dear friend who has a sour disposition
I know what's on your mind
I understand your thoughts and emotions
If it's all that you can find
If love is the only positive force you can find
Then you should feel it
Then you should appreciate it
Yeah you should feel it
You should definitely appreciate it
You should lift for love
You should strive to elevate and enhance love
Oh, c'mon feel it
Come on, it's worth feeling and recognizing
Yeah you should feel it
You should definitely feel and recognize it
You can feel it
You can sense it's there
Yeah you should feel it
You should definitely appreciate and acknowledge it

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.

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

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

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.
