Love On The Rox
Fate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Streetlight, every night
I'm waiting out for you
Anticipating, it's such a shame
'Cos every night I'm standing there in vain
Again and again

I wanna love you
I wanna be the one tonight
I wanna feel you
But you put our love on the rox

Out of touch, it's too much
Tried every trick in the book
I sent you flowers and stuff to make you glad
All the other guys says: "That girl make you look so bad"
Baby, ain't that sad?

I wanna love you
I wanna be the one tonight
I wanna feel you
But you put our love on the rox

Listen here, I'm talking to you
Our love used to be so good
I know I was a fool you know like once or twice
But that's all over, now it's time to break the ice
Baby, no more lies

I wanna love you
I wanna be the one tonight




I wanna feel you
But you put our love on the rox

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fate's song "Love on the Rox" express the frustration and desperation of waiting for someone who is not reciprocating the same feelings. The singer of the song is waiting every night under the streetlight for the person they love, hoping to see them, but always ending up disappointed. The person has become out of reach, and the singer has tried everything to get their attention, including sending them flowers and gifts, but to no avail. There's a sense of melancholy in the lyrics, as they sing, "It's such a shame," highlighting the feeling of helplessness in the situation. However, they continue to express their desire to love the person, to be with them, and feel their love too. The chorus of the song is a plea to the person, expressing how their love has been put on hold, and how they long to reconnect.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer of the song is aware of their past actions, where they may have hurt the person they love. They acknowledge their mistakes and own up to them, mentioning, "I know I was a fool you know like once or twice." However, they ask for a fresh start, "Now it's time to break the ice, baby, no more lies," expressing the desire to move forward and to rekindle their love.


Overall, the song speaks to the universal emotions of love and heartbreak, where we all have experienced the longing for someone who is not ready or available. The song's melody and Fate's soulful voice add to the depth of emotions the lyrics invoke, creating a moving ballad that tugs on the listener's heartstrings.
