Rose
[vk.com/freeteam] David Still Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black roses on her tongue
She promised not to hurt me
Worst cannot be done
Your words cannot allure me
Cursed with love before
I know you don't deserve me
I know you don't
I live in the future
You live in the moments
I live in my poems
You live in my problems
Delivering venom every time im down
Be a minute since a nigga moved without doubts
Youve been chained to a man off his reign
Ever word that you speak is all in vain
See red when the bills hit
He feels shame
Don't need support
Got you by his side
When he went through court had you by his side
You were there for the lows you aint seen all the highs
The rock on your finger only go so far
Till death we part
But the death the heart
Is way to common
Need harmony
You been harming me
Silently
What you want from me I can't be
I got other on my mind
I don't want to hurt you
But I think its time
Ones of us can say the truth
Been falling for some time
I think someone else should catch you
Black roses on her tongue
She promised not to hurt me
Worst cannot be done
Your words cannot allure me
Cursed with love before
I know you don't deserve me
I know you don't
Other on my mind
I don't want to hurt you
But I think its time
Ones of us can say the truth
Been falling for some time
I think someone else should catch you
Other on my mind
I don't want to hurt you
But I think its time
Ones of us can say the truth




Been falling for some time
I think someone else should catch you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of David Still's song "Rose" describe a tumultuous relationship between two individuals. The metaphor of black roses on her tongue represents the pain and poison that this person has caused the singer in the past. The singer acknowledges that this person has hurt them before but promises not to let it happen again. However, the words of this person cannot allure them, meaning they are not able to be swayed or convinced by their lies.


The singer then reflects on the differences between themselves and this person. They live in the future, focused on their creativity and their poetry, while the other person lives in the moment and is weighed down by their problems. Despite being a support to them in the past, the singer recognizes that this person's actions have been harmful to them. They want harmony in their life but instead have been affected by this person's negativity.


The singer ultimately decides that they can no longer continue in this relationship. They have been falling out of love for some time and cannot keep hurting this person who does not deserve them. Even though the other person may not want to hear it, the singer believes it is time for someone else to catch them and provide the love and support they need.
