about

This song's about reaching one's 30s in this day and age as a male and feeling like both a "Grown Ass Man" and a "grown ass child wishin'", intermittently, depending on the day.

It's not actually about any specific period in a person's life. It's about that forever self-negotiation between wanting to feel like a grown-up and wanting to employ a beginner's mind in the face of all that life presents oneself with.
