pratika - growing up lyrics

Loading...

i always thought the world was a beautiful place + full of fun, happiness, abundance, and peace (yay!). the sun rose and set, people were good, and i’d learn to be an even better person as i grew older. but then…

a boy molested me when i was four, it was the first time
his face in a coffin being lowered was when i saw him the last time (hahahaha)
the second time, when i was 8 in essel world
a house of mirrors turned into a house of horrors for a little girl (ooo)

a mechanic next door asked if i wanna play bat ball
i was so young and innocent, i didn’t get his intention at all (yuck)
a neighbour would stare at my chest for hours on end
while my adolescence dawned and i made a bra my best friend

what does it take for you to leave me alone, you’ve caused a ruin
growing up in silence, i’m sick to the bone, i’m only human

boys in school made salivating sounds as i passed their classroom (ayy container!)
jay from the bus called me to his cousin’s house to feel my body bloom
a wholesaler’s son from the building blew me flying kisses (muah muah)
so his father married him to a simple girl from the village to get wicked

he also stalked me, called me and followed me to school
he didn’t even know my name, but that didn’t stop his dripping drool (sss)
some boys from the metal scene thought i used to sleep around to get to places
i was still a virgin, and this is what happens to so many women at different stages (sigh)

surely, young me was innocent. my impression of the world? it was tarnished. it changed forever. (nooooo) it will probably never be the same. and what i’ve been through, it’s only the tip of the iceberg. (ahhhhh!)
what does it take for you to leave us alone, you’ve caused a ruin
growing up in silence, we’re sick to the bone, we’re only human
