Cut The Rope
Charlotte OC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It goes on and on with every breath I take
Grass will grow and hearts will break
It goes on and on with every breath I take
I'm running in circles, I'm losing it all
From something to nothing, do the right thing, let me fall
You're pushing me sideways but you won't let go
Cut the rope and let me fall
It's too late, too late to make mistakes
All flowed with all of my games
Tired and slow to erase the pain
But it goes on and on with every breath I take
I'm running in circles, I'm losing it all
From something to nothing, do the right thing, let me fall
You're pushing me sideways but you won't let go
And I know you're sorry but do the right thing
Cut the rope and let me fall
Roses to the flame
My love always turns to blame
And it's never enough, no, no, no, no
I'm running in circles, I'm losing it all
From something to nothing, do the right thing, let me fall
You're pushing me sideways but you won't let go
And I know you're sorry but do the right thing
Cut the rope and let me fall
Cut the rope and let me fall
Cut the rope and let me fall
Cut the rope and let me fall
Cut the rope and let me fall
The song "Cut the Rope" by Charlotte OC is a poignant ballad that speaks about the painful moments that occur when a relationship is coming to an end. The opening lines "It's too late, too late to be awake, it goes on and on with every breath I take" sets the mood for the song as the singer is struggling to come to terms with the fact that the relationship is over. She's trying to erase the pain but realizes that it's futile as "it goes on and on with every breath I take." The lyrics "Grass will grow and hearts will break" also drive home the fact that life goes on despite the heartbreak.
As the song progresses, Charlotte's plea to end the relationship becomes even more fervent. The lines "You're pushing me sideways but you won't let go, and I know you're sorry but do the right thing, cut the rope and let me fall" reveal her desperation as she urges her partner to let her go. The repetition of the phrase "cut the rope and let me fall" creates a sense of urgency and finality, as if there's no other way out.
The chorus of the song is the most powerful part where Charlotte sings "I'm running in circles, I'm losing it all, from something to nothing, do the right thing, let me fall." It's a powerful statement that encapsulates the pain of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings. The chorus alone offers a window into an unadulterated emotional turmoil that every person who has ever been through heartbreak can relate to.
