ADULT GIRL Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can let go of the flower, now my power has returned
I can look back at the past, now I see what I have learned
Try my best to act my age, but the child won’t behave
She wants to scream and cry and rage and who am I to dig her grave?
[Pre-Chorus]
The teenage years I never lived
The innocence of high school kids
Young romance and endless nights
Of carefree joy and pure delight
[Chorus]
Didn’t grow up in a normal world
And now I’m just an adult girl
[Verse 2]
Now I’m too old to die young, but at least I had some fun
Spent my twenties on the run dreaming of suicide and love
Think I’m stuck somewhere between childhood and va-va-voom
Always cycling in between existential dread and doom
[Pre-Chorus]
Messy, numb, razors and knives
Missed arteries and blacked-out nights
Kittens, mittens, plushie toys
Bows and hearts and sullen boys
[Chorus]
Robbed me of a teenage world
Now I’m just an adult girl
An adult girl
[Bridge]
Someone, tell me how to heal the terror living inside me
I don’t even know what’s real, I just know I wanna be free
[Pre-Chorus]
All the things I lost and loved
Swept them underneath the rug
Like a child, I wait and hope
You might repair the things you broke
[Chorus]
Now I understand the world
Of adult boys ’cause I’m an adult girl
I’m an oyster without a pearl
But that’s just how it is for an adult girl
An adult girl
Adult girl

ADULT GIRL Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
She’s talking about finally feeling strong again after losing herself for a while. Letting go of the “flower” could mean giving up the soft, delicate version of herself. Now, she feels wiser looking back at her past. Even though she tries to act mature, there’s still a part of her—maybe her inner child—that feels hurt, emotional, and wild. And she doesn’t want to ignore or bury that part of herself.
[Pre-Chorus]
She feels like she missed out on a normal teenage life—simple joys like innocent love, late-night fun, and carefree laughter that most kids get to experience.
[Chorus]
She didn’t grow up in a safe, ordinary environment. Now, she’s just trying to make sense of adulthood without having had a proper childhood.
[Verse 2]
She’s older now and can’t chase the idea of dying young, but at least she had some wild moments. Her twenties were filled with chaos—running from pain, fantasizing about love and death. She feels stuck between being a kid and a grown woman, constantly swinging between deep anxiety and emotional darkness.
[Pre-Chorus]
This part contrasts dark, harmful experiences with sweet, childlike things. It shows the confusing mix of pain and innocence in her life—self-harm and trauma on one side, and soft, comforting objects and memories on the other.
[Chorus]
She was denied a normal teenage experience, and now she’s left navigating adulthood with those pieces missing.
[Bridge]
She’s overwhelmed by fear and emotional pain inside her. She feels lost and unsure of what’s real anymore, but deep down, she just wants to feel free and at peace.
[Pre-Chorus]
She’s pushed away and hidden the things she once loved or lost, pretending they’re not there. Like a child, she still hopes someone will come along and fix the damage that was done to her.
[Chorus]
Now she gets how emotionally stunted or confused adult men can be, probably because she’s been through the same. She compares herself to an oyster without a pearl—something incomplete or missing inside—but accepts that’s just how life is for someone like her.
