“Grandir” takes us right into the messy magic of growing up. With playful confessions like “Sometimes I call people hoping they won’t pick up” and “Why leave my bed if I end up back there tonight?”, Lunis paints the picture of someone caught between childlike comfort and adult expectations. The lyrics swing from wanting to head out to a restaurant to wanting an early night, from cracking solo jokes in a private bubble to feeling like the family clown. These contradictions show how adulthood can feel like laughing and crying at the same time, loving and hating, dying a little and then coming back to life in the very next breath.
Yet the chorus reminds us we are not alone in this roller-coaster of emotions. When Lunis urges listeners to “smile, you’re not alone” and “clap your hands if you want to stay seated too,” he’s offering a comforting high-five to anyone who feels overwhelmed by growing pains. The song celebrates every awkward moment as proof that we’re still alive, learning, and—most importantly—still capable of reviving our spirits whenever life’s traffic lights turn red. In short, “Grandir” is a vibrant anthem for anyone balancing the excitement of becoming someone new with the nostalgia of who they’ve always been.
