Roses
Gavin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come with me it aint hard to tell
I'm going nowhere
Yeah hold me close don't catch your breath
I'll let you down again
Fuck up all my relationships
(Stupid)
Just love to self destruct to anxious make the room deflate
Wish that I gave a fuck
A serial monogamist
Yeah terminally codependent if we're being honest
But the problem is I drink a lot
And smoke a lot and work a lot and just aren't my best self a lot
(That's a lot)
Tried changing just to meet your expectations
Now I can't find myself I'm losing patience
Not good enough to ever make us worth it
Just practice while you're on your way to perfect

We don't see things the same anymore
Rose colored tints are all that I know
Maybe it's a sign that I should grow up
Learn to be myself without any help
We don't see things the same anymore
Rose colored tints are all that I know
Maybe it's a sign that I should grow up
Learn to be myself without any help

I gotta prove it to you, just to prove it to me
You don't approve what I do, then babe it's worthless to me, ooh
Chain smoking to avoid checking my phone
Old photos just reminders that I'm wrong
Bout to leave Snapchat and Instagram, no more social fam, I'm as good as gone
Only thing that I want's isolation
I don't need anybodies relation
Just want to wallow and hate myself
Don't need any help with personal revelations
Yeah might not want to say shit
Because it's always the wrong thing
I just don't want to ruin everything again
Make the same old mistakes 'till the end
Lucky I haven't lost all my friends
(Just don't want to ruin it again
Make the same old mistakes 'till the end)

We don't see things the same anymore
Rose colored tints are all that I know
Maybe it's a sign that I should grow up
Learn to be myself without any help
We don't see things the same anymore
Rose colored tints are all that I know




Maybe it's a sign that I should grow up
Learn to be myself without any help

Overall Meaning

In Gavin's song "Roses," the lyrics delve into the singer's personal struggles with relationships and self-destructive tendencies. The opening lines, "Come with me it ain't hard to tell, I'm going nowhere," indicate a sense of aimlessness and a lack of direction in the singer's life. This is further emphasized by the line, "I'll let you down again, fuck up all my relationships," suggesting a pattern of failed connections and a penchant for self-sabotage.


The lyrics also touch upon the singer's struggle with addiction and unhealthy coping mechanisms. The lines, "I drink a lot and smoke a lot and work a lot and just aren't my best self a lot," reveal a reliance on substances and excessive work as a means of escape. This behavior is driven by a deep-rooted fear of intimacy and dependency, illustrated by the lines, "A serial monogamist, terminally codependent if we're being honest."


Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of disillusionment and a desire for change. The lyrics express a longing to break free from the rosy illusions of the past ("We don't see things the same anymore, rose-colored tints are all that I know") and a recognition that personal growth and self-discovery are necessary ("Maybe it's a sign that I should grow up, learn to be myself without any help").
