Detailed Analysis

These lyrics from 'Itchin' on a Photograph' by Grouplove are broadly clean and age-appropriate. The song deals with themes of nostalgia, letting go of the past, and personal growth. There is no explicit language, sexual content, violence, or drug/alcohol references. The imagery — rain, fire, photographs, swinging on a branch — is evocative but not disturbing. References to 'waiting on my mum and dad' and 'swinging on a branch' even carry a youthful, innocent tone. Overall, this is wholesome, emotionally resonant content suitable for all ages.

Lyrics

I'm itchin' on a photograph Yeah I'm scratching on a thermostat Yeah I'm giving up on looking back Yeah I'm letting go of what I had Yeah I'm itchin' on a photograph Yeah I'm scratching on a thermostat Yeah I'm letting go all of that I had Yeah I'm itchin' on a photograph Feel the rain come down and you know now Put the fire out, you'll burn Ever wonder how you can see know At this landing ground is so, you know you know, Yeah I'm waiting on my mum and dad Yeah I'm swinging on a branch that'll last Yeah I'm going up then falling back Yeah I'm itchin' on a photograph Feel the rain come down and you know now Put the fire out, you'll burn Ever wonder how you can see now At this landing ground it's all while you were sleeping It's all while you were Feel the rain come down and you know now Put the fire out, you'll burn Ever wonder how you can see know At this landing ground is so, you know you know, Feel the rain come down and you know now Put the fire out, you'll burn Ever wonder how you can see know At this landing ground is so, you know you know, I'm itchin' on a photograph Yeah I'm scratching on a thermostat Yeah I'm letting go of all that I had Yeah I'm living now and living last I'm itchin' on a photograph Yeah I'm scratching on a thermostat Yeah I'm letting go of what I had Yeah I'm living now and living loud
