Austin Patten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
They′ve been talking a lot
And I been staying solo
And now these people on my line they don't know me no more
Now you realize you need me so you're right back to
And never loved me before
Used to tell me to stop
But they still check it for me case I go to the top
How cavs on the ground now they go grow and they roses
Everybody in the picture killing
Tell me what you gotta say now ain′t now
Love me in the face now
I don′t think you really wanna live another day now
Another day now, no, no
And i could tell you about my mind say
I'll break, got myself a full plate
Time gettin′ taken by the things that I he-yeah
By the things I, things I, na na
When it's over, when it′s over
When it's over I know
Diss me grows in my dough
If you need my don′t got, don't got you know mo', I′m sorry
You ′bout my name, I'm sorry
You cause my pain
And I thought that you know
But I guess it makes two
If you love me I love you I hate you I do, I′m over
All the promises made, I'm over
All the lies every day
The song "Roses" by Austin Patten is about the struggles of fame and dealing with people who only want to know you when you're popular or on your way to the top. Patten shares his frustration with people who suddenly come back into his life after ignoring him when he was struggling. He states that they're acting like they know him now, but they're not truly interested in who he is. He's also tired of people telling him to stop doing what he loves, but then still checking for him in case he becomes successful. Patten talks about how fame changes who is around you and how it can be difficult to know who is genuine.
In the chorus, Patten tells people who only act like they care about him when he's successful to leave him alone. He doesn't want to hear from them anymore, and he doesn't think they would really want to live another day dealing with his problems.
Patten ends the song by calling out someone specific for causing his pain and apologizing for his mistakes. He acknowledges that he thought they understood each other, but he guesses they were both wrong. He's over the promises and lies and wants to move on.

They've been talking a lot
Others have been speaking about me frequently
And I been staying solo
I have been keeping to myself
And now these people on my line they don't know me no more
People who used to talk to me no longer understand who I am
They really actin' like they know me but I know it's a lie
People pretend to understand me, but it is disingenuous
Now you realize you need me so you're right back to
Someone who neglected me earlier now wants my attention
And never loved me before
This person did not care for me previously
Used to tell me to stop
Others told me to quit doing something
But they still check it for me case I go to the top
People still support me in case I become successful
How cavs on the ground now they go grow and they roses
Similar to how Cavaliers (a sports team) start from the bottom and eventually become winners, others will eventually understand my worth
Everybody in the picture killing
Everyone is trying to succeed
Tell me what you gotta say now ain't now
Asking for others to speak up now rather than later
Love me in the face now
Demanding sincerity from others
I don't think you really wanna live another day now
Imagining others facing consequences for their insincerity
Another day now, no, no
Continuing to express disapproval of insincerity
And i could tell you about my mind say
I can explain what is going through my head
I'll break, got myself a full plate
Feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities
Time gettin' taken by the things that I he-yeah
I am spending my time dealing with various issues
By the things I, things I, na na
The various issues are causing problems
When it's over, when it's over
Anticipating the end of a situation
When it's over I know
Knowing that something will end eventually
Diss me grows in my dough
Hate towards me spreads
If you need my don't got, don't got you know mo', I'm sorry
Apologizing for not being able to offer assistance
You 'bout my name, I'm sorry
Apologizing for impacting someone negatively
You cause my pain
Expressing hurt due to an individual's actions
And I thought that you know
Believing someone would understand how their actions would affect me
But I guess it makes two
Acknowledging two parties contributed to a difficult situation
If you love me I love you I hate you I do, I'm over
Experiencing mixed emotions towards someone and saying it is over
All the promises made, I'm over
No longer believing in promises made
All the lies every day
Fed up with being lied to
