Grandmother Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grandmother, my mother
Tell me ’bout the lake again
It’s been strange dancing at the bar
Kissing in our car
Standing in the stadium
Knowing soon there’ll be no bar
No car, no stadium

[Verse 2]
Grandmother
Sleep tight, sleep loose

It’s alright, everything that happened, happened
So what’s the use of holding?
It’s unfolding, we’re all insane
We are made of love
We are also made of pain

[Chorus]
Gonna turn it all into rock and roll
Gonna turn it all into rock and roll
Gonna turn it all into rock and roll
Gonna turn it all into rock and roll

[Verse 3]
My lover, I just want to say
I’m sorry for the way I’ve been
Today, I was lazy
I felt crazy and drained
But on my way home
The sky broke, it started to rain
I saw sun through the clouds
I saw love through the pain
I saw sun through the clouds
I saw love through the pain

[Chorus]

Gonna turn it all into rock and roll
Gonna turn it all into rock and roll
Gonna turn it all into rock and roll
Gonna turn it all into rock and roll
Gonna turn it all into rock and roll
Gonna turn it all into rock and roll

Grandmother Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The speaker is talking to their grandmother and mother, asking to hear again about a peaceful, maybe childhood memory—the lake. They’re feeling lost in the present, doing everyday things like dancing or kissing, but all of it feels strange, maybe temporary. There’s this quiet fear that all these familiar places and moments—the bar, the car, the stadium—might not be around much longer.

[Verse 2]
The speaker seems to be comforting their grandmother, maybe even themselves. They’re saying to let go and rest, because whatever’s happened in life is already done. There’s no point clinging to the past. Life is a mix of chaos and beauty, and all of us carry both love and pain inside.

[Chorus]
There’s a kind of emotional release here. The speaker wants to take everything—good and bad, joyful or painful—and pour it into music. Turning life’s ups and downs into rock and roll feels like a way to make sense of it, or at least express it.

[Verse 3]
Here, the speaker turns to their lover and admits they haven’t been their best self lately. They were tired and not feeling right, emotionally off. But something shifted on their way home—rain falling, then sunlight breaking through. It gave them a new perspective. Even through pain and chaos, there’s still love and light to be seen if you’re open to it.

[Chorus]
The repeated line drives home the idea that all of life’s messiness—regret, beauty, exhaustion, love—can be transformed into something meaningful through music. Rock and roll becomes the speaker’s way of coping, understanding, and celebrating everything they’re feeling, again and again.
