Coming Up
Caitlin Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With new ways to say goodbye
Like our love's a cage
That will not let you fly
You always know just what to say
And maybe that's why
You keep coming up
You keep coming up
With new ways to let me down
You say it's a shame
I'll always wear a frown
You say I can't be happy
Always feeling like a clown
But I'll play the fool
As long as you can hang around
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mine
I'll get by, I'll get by
I'm gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skies
And I'll keep coming up
In all the shadows of your mind
A not so distant memory
From another time
Forever the thorn in your side
I'll be the echo
That you can never find
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
I'm gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mine
I'll get by, I'll get by
I'm gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skies
And you'll never find
Another way to say goodbye
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
"Coming Up" is a song by Caitlin Rose on her third studio album, The Stand-In. The song starts by implying that the singer's lover is repeatedly finding new ways to say goodbye to her. The singer compares their love to a cage that's holding her lover back, and noticing this keeps giving them more reasons to leave her. The singer realizes that her lover knows just how to cut her with their words, but she doesn't know how to escape her situation. But the singer is not going to be a prisoner to love who's always sad; she'll keep on playing the fool as long as she wants to. She's going to rise above the situation and "take to the sky on this crazy cloud" of hers. She's going to be an ever-present memory of a time that never will be again; the thorn in her lover's side, the echo they can't locate. The singer finally tells her lover that they will never find another way to say goodbye to her.
Line by Line Meaning
You keep coming up
You continue to come up with something new each time we meet
With new ways to say goodbye
Every time you meet me with a new plan of breaking up
Like our love's a cage
You consider our relationship as a restriction that keeps you grounded
That will not let you fly
You believe that our connection doesn't allow you to be free
You always know just what to say
You're an expert in saying things to make me feel bad
And maybe that's why
Perhaps that's your way of controlling me
You keep coming up
You repeatedly come up with something new each time we meet
With new words to make me cry
Every time you meet me, you have new words that will make me emotional
With new ways to let me down
Every time we're together, you have new plans of disappointing me
You say it's a shame
You express pity towards me
I'll always wear a frown
You believe that I'll never be happy with you around
You say I can't be happy
You state that I can't find happiness
Always feeling like a clown
You believe that I always act foolishly
But I'll play the fool
I'll keep behaving foolishly for as long as you're around
As long as you can hang around
I'll keep acting unintelligently for as long as you're willing to stay
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna rise
I'll find a way to overcome and be happy again
I'm gonna take to the sky on this crazy cloud of mine
I'll find some way to make myself happy
I'll get by, I'll get by
I'll find a way to survive without you
I'm gonna darken your days by putting the grays in your skies
I'll make you feel like how you made me feel when we were together
And you'll never find
You'll never be able to do it again
Another way to say goodbye
You'll never find another way to escape my wrath
