Growing Pains
vervex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sipping on the bitter tincture- t-t-taste it on my lips
My blood boils down, acid flash in my veins
When I take this medicine, it gives me growing p-p-pains
They say "Oh drink it down
Oh you're howling with the hounds"
I won't be around for too long, I'm at your door
The lyrics of "Growing Pains" by vervex touch on themes of addiction and self-destructive behavior. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is picking at the sticky-tack, a nervous habit that suggests anxiety and unease. As she sips the bitter tincture, the taste is unpleasant, indicating that she is aware that this is not good for her. The lines "My blood boils down, acid flash in my veins" suggest that the singer is aware of the damage that this is doing to her, but she is unable to stop herself.
The chorus of the song is a plea for help. The singer acknowledges that she won't be around for too long, implying that she knows that the destructive path she is on is not sustainable. She is asking for more of the substance that is causing her harm, but she is also calling out for someone to help her. The repetition of "Please give me more" underscores the sense of desperation and hopelessness.
Overall, "Growing Pains" is a powerful reflection on addiction and the negative impact it can have on a person's life. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desperation, as well as a haunting sense of loss.
