Rosegrove
Clawfinger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Right from the start you know you put me in the dirt
I never even got a chance to get away
I take all the crap from your drool attack
The years fly by and I get nothing to say
You expect me to be happy and to be satisfied
With the offer that you once had to give
You don't try to encourage anybody to develop
That's not the way that I want to live
Do this
Do that
Come here
You thought
I'm still here although I hate it
I wonder why I even care about a place like this
I don't know if I can take it
I've had it up to here with your shit and your piss
I've heard so much shit from the people I hate
That I really couldn't give a fuck
I've been down in the shit for so goddamn long
That everything looks like up
Chorus
You see I'm sick and tired of being tied to the ground
My lungs they were made to shout
I'm stuck in the middle of a rosegrove maze
And I can't seem to find my way out
Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Clawfinger's song "Rosegrove" describe the frustration and suffocation of being stuck in a life that feels suffocating and devoid of growth or progress. The singer starts by acknowledging that they never had a fair chance to begin with - they were "put in the dirt" right from the start. From there, it's a never-ending cycle of taking abuse and getting nothing in return. The singer is expected to be content with what little they were offered, and not encouraged to grow or improve in any way. This feels incredibly suffocating and frustrating, and the singer wonders why they even care about this place at all. They've heard so much garbage from people they hate that they can't even bring themselves to care anymore. They've been in the muck and mire for so long that it all looks the same to them.


The refrain is a desperate cry for change. The singer is tired of being tied down and suffocated. They feel like they were made to do more than this, to shout and scream and make a difference. But they're stuck in a "rosegrove maze" - despite the beauty around them, they can't find their way out. They're trapped and suffocating in the very place that's supposed to be their refuge.


Overall, "Rosegrove" is a powerful anthem for anyone who feels like they're stuck and suffocating in their lives. It's a reminder to keep pushing and fighting for something better, even when it feels like there's no way out.


Line by Line Meaning

Right from the start you know you put me in the dirt
I was defeated and overpowered before I even had a chance to defend myself


I never even got a chance to get away
I was trapped and unable to escape your control


I take all the crap from your drool attack
I endure your insults and belittlement without retaliating


The years fly by and I get nothing to say
I am silenced by your oppression and have no voice or power


You expect me to be happy and to be satisfied
You demand that I be content with my situation, no matter how unfair it is


With the offer that you once had to give
The promise of a better life that you once made to me is now empty and meaningless


You don't try to encourage anybody to develop
You discourage personal growth and improvement in others


That's not the way that I want to live
I refuse to accept a life of stagnation and limitation


Do this
Demanding and controlling behavior


Do that
Demanding and controlling behavior


Come here
Demanding and controlling behavior


You thought
You assumed you could control and manipulate me


I'm still here although I hate it
I am still surviving despite my overwhelming dislike for my circumstances


I wonder why I even care about a place like this
I question why I even bother to care about a situation that is so negative and unchanging


I don't know if I can take it
I doubt my ability to continue living in such an oppressive environment


I've had it up to here with your shit and your piss
I am fed up with your insults, mistreatment, and disrespect


I've heard so much shit from the people I hate
I have been exposed to negativity and hostility from those who wish to harm me


That I really couldn't give a fuck
I have become immune to their words and actions, and no longer care about their opinions


I've been down in the shit for so goddamn long
I have been living in an oppressive and negative environment for an extended period of time


That everything looks like up
I have become so accustomed to negativity that even minor improvements appear positive


You see I'm sick and tired of being tied to the ground
I am exhausted by my inability to escape from my oppressive situation


My lungs they were made to shout
I am meant to express myself and my thoughts freely, without fear or oppression


I'm stuck in the middle of a rosegrove maze
I am trapped in a confusing and frustrating situation with no easy escape


And I can't seem to find my way out
I am struggling to find a way to break free from my oppressive circumstances

Но я не был трезв, и было мне до пи*ды,
Мне смелость придавал выпитый кир,
И тут передо мною затрещали кусты,
Из них восстал кровавый старый вампир.
