Grow
The Main Squeeze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What happens now, has been before
Scramble through the void within
And I ponder on what could have been
For what was once will always be
Suspended in reality
If what has been could be once more
Well that’s something worth fighting for
As time passes
Things we know
Tend to change the more we grow
The light that hits the prism whole
Reflects the colors of our soul
Colors drip and melt away
Amongst the vast impending grey
Till everything comes rushing back
I float amidst the white and black
It’s simply just the yin and yang
In something lost, there’s something gained
Where there’s pleasure there is pain
And where there’s sunshine there will always be rain
As time passes
Things we know
Tend to change the more we grow
The light that hits the prism whole
Reflects the colors of our soul
As time passes
Things we know
Tend to change the more we grow
The light that hits the prism whole
Reflects the colors of our soul
As the clouds begin to pass
A light begins to glow
Erasing all our doubt
Of all the things we think we know
The light that hits the prism breaks
And shatters in our midst,
The colors of our soul
Remind us why this life exists
The Main Squeeze's song Grow is a reflection on how time changes the way we see life and ourselves. In the first verse, the songwriter talks about how everything we experience has already happened before, and how the things that were once a part of our lives will always be a part of our reality. The last line of the verse, "If what has been could be once more, well that's something worth fighting for," is a call to cherish the good memories we have and to strive to bring them back into our lives.
The chorus talks about how time changes us, both physically and emotionally. The prism metaphor is used to represent the way our experiences shape our personalities and how we see the world. The colors of our souls reflect the good and bad experiences we've had over time, and how they've shaped our personalities.
The second verse talks about how everything we experience is fleeting and temporary. The colors drip and melt away among the impending grey, representing how our memories fade over time. The yin and yang duality is referenced to represent the balance between the positive and negative experiences in life. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the main point of the song - that time changes us, and that our experiences are what make us who we are.
Overall, the lyrics of Grow are a reflection on the passage of time, and how the experiences we have shape us as individuals. The songwriters emphasize the importance of cherishing the good memories and learning from the bad ones, as both are necessary for growth and self-discovery.

For all we think, and all we know
Despite all our knowledge and beliefs
What happens now, has been before
History repeats itself
Scramble through the void within
Navigating our inner selves
And I ponder on what could have been
Reflecting on missed opportunities
For what was once will always be
The past cannot be changed
Suspended in reality
The truth of our experiences
If what has been could be once more
The desire to relive positive memories
Well that’s something worth fighting for
A worthwhile goal to pursue
Colors drip and melt away
Emotions and experiences fade over time
Amongst the vast impending grey
In the midst of uncertainty
Till everything comes rushing back
Memories can come flooding back
I float amidst the white and black
Navigating the good and the bad
It’s simply just the yin and yang
Life is a balance of opposing forces
In something lost, there’s something gained
Every experience has a silver lining
Where there’s pleasure there is pain
Good times are often accompanied by hardships
And where there’s sunshine there will always be rain
Life has its ups and downs
As the clouds begin to pass
The beginning of a new chapter
A light begins to glow
Hope and optimism for the future
Erasing all our doubt
Freedom from uncertainty
Of all the things we think we know
Challenging our assumptions
The light that hits the prism breaks
Different perspectives reveal new truths
And shatters in our midst
The realization of our limited understanding
The colors of our soul
The essence of our being
Remind us why this life exists
To find meaning and purpose in our experiences
