Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rainbow child, I used to call her name a lot when love was doing well
We have start to call of you away from me but most of all yourself

Got what you're looking for, waving bye to the poor
Got what you're gazing at, understanding and respect
Oh Rosie, got it made, got it made, got it made, got it made
Oh yeah Rosie, got it made, got it made, got it made, got it made
Rainbow star, oh you fly too high, above our heads just held by a string
Look how Rose cause the fall is coming, your shadow tells the state you're in

Got what you're looking for, waving bye to the poor
Got what you're gazing at, understanding and respect
Oh Rosie, got it made, got it made, got it made, got it made
Oh yeah Rosie, got it made, got it made, got it made, got it made

Got what you're looking for, waving bye to the poor
Tell me, girl, what is it like to be a goddess overnight, yeah
What do you fear the most: suicide or local dope
Oh Rosie, got it made, got it made, got it made, got it made
Oh Rosie, got it made, got it made, got it made, got it made
Oh Rosie, got it made, got it made, got it made, got it made




Oh Rosie, got it made, got it made, got it made, got it made
Oh yeah Rosie, got it made, got it made, got it made, got it made

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Claw Boys Claw's song "Rosie" seem to be about a woman named Rosie who has acquired success and seems to have an easy life, but is also dealing with the pressures and expectations that come with success. The singer, possibly an ex-lover, reflects on how he used to call her name a lot when love was doing well, but now they have drifted away from each other. He mentions that Rosie "got what she's looking for," but also acknowledges that she has to say goodbye to those who are less fortunate than her.


The second verse touches on Rosie's fame and how she seems to be disconnected from those around her. The line "above our heads just held by a string" implies that she is on a pedestal and could fall at any moment. The singer also notes that Rosie's "shadow tells the state she's in," indicating that despite her success, there is something troubling her.


The chorus repeats the line "got it made" several times, implying that Rosie has everything she could ever want, but it also sounds slightly sarcastic, as if the singer is not convinced that Rosie's life is as perfect as it seems. The final verse asks Rosie what it's like to be a goddess overnight and what she fears the most (suicide or local dope), possibly referring to the pressures of the entertainment industry and the temptations that come with fame. Overall, "Rosie" is a commentary on the trappings of success and the toll it can take on those who achieve it.

Lyrics:


Rainbow child, I used to call that name a lot
When love was doin' well
Being a star, took all of you away from me
But most of all from yourself

Got what you're lookin' for
Wavin' bye to the poor
Got what you're gazing at
Understanding and respect

Oh, Rosie, got it made, got it made
Got it made, got it made
Oh yeah, Rosie, got it made, got it made
Got it made, got it made

Rainbow, star, oh, you fly to high above our heads
Just held up by a string
Look out, Rose, 'cause the fall is comin'
Your shadow tells the state you're in

Got what you're lookin' for
Wavin' bye to the poor
Got what you're gazing at
Understanding and respect

Oh, Rosie, got it made, got it made
Got it made, got it made
Oh yeah, Rosie, got it made, got it made
Got it made, got it made

Got what you're lookin' for
Wavin' bye to the poor

Tell me, girl, what is it like
To be a goddess overnight, yeah

What do you fear the most
Suicide or local dope?

Oh, Rosie, got it made, got it made
Got it made, got it made
Oh yeah, Rosie, got it made, got it made
Got it made, got it made

Oh, Rosie, got it made, got it made
Got it made, got it made
Oh yeah, Rosie, got it made, got it made
Got it made, got it made
