Rose Quartz
Toro y Moi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't lie to me
Because I feel weak
Because I feel weak
You turned around
It's just like mine
Because I feel weak
Because I feel weak
And if I fall
Into the sea
Don't let me go
Because I feel weak
So tell again
Don't let it in
Because I feel weak
Because I feel weak
You turned around
It's just like mine
Because I feel weak
Because I feel weak
And if I fall
Into the sea
Don't let me go
Because I feel weak
The lyrics in "Rose Quartz" by Toro y Moi speak to the vulnerability of the human experience, particularly in relationships. The opening lines, "The time you came, don't lie to me, because I feel weak," convey a sense of fear and doubt. The singer is pleading for honesty and transparency in their interactions with their partner because they do not want to feel weakened or hurt.
The chorus creates a sense of repetition and builds on this feeling of vulnerability. The line, "You turned around, it's just like mine, because I feel weak," suggests that their partner is equally vulnerable and unsure. The repetition of "because I feel weak" emphasizes the fragility of the relationship and the human ego.
The second verse asks for a sense of security and reassurance. "And if I fall into the sea, don't let me go because I feel weak" suggests a fear of abandonment or rejection. This vulnerability is juxtaposed with the line "So tell again, don't let it in," which implies a sense of caution and hesitation.
Overall, "Rose Quartz" is a profound and introspective song that speaks to the human need for emotional security and honesty.

This song is the soundtrack of my life
When I listen to it I feel like I’m walking in London and no one sees me, kids play football in slow motion, a smooth wind, end of the day.
It’s also the song of people entering their childhood home decades after leaving it
It’s the song for lonely people balancing between sadness and happiness, full of emptiness and emotion. This song

As an animator i have immense respect for this video, mustve taken FOREVER
@fightindreamers
+Henry Gonzalez anything done by hand is rare these days. the work seems more genuine and authentic. it's like a piece of your soul goes into the work. how could it not? the time, sweat and dedication that goes into making a work of art like this...the audience definitely feels it some deeper than others

l3gitxk1m 49 Imagine the time it would've taken to re paint the oil paintings in this for every frame of this video. They looped some of it, but this is at least 12-24 moderations per second. That takes forever
@Imnotevenapanda
+Henry Gonzalez my thoughts exactly, they probably put a ton of effort and time into making this
@Kai-qu5jj
+Henry Gonzalez Could be a filter?
@MagicSwordFilms
