Go Heeled Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So tired of letting myself down
I've grown tired of letting you down
So tired I'm letting myself down
We talk
At times
And still there's things that I have yet to tell you
Like there's times you get me down
There's been times you're getting yourself down
There's times you get me down
There's still times you're getting yourself down
We talk
At times
And still there's things that I have yet to tell you
Still there's things that I have yet to tell you
I'm tired of letting you down
So tired of letting myself down
I've grown tired of letting you down
So tired I'm letting myself down
We talk
At times
And still there's things that I have yet to tell you
The lyrics of Go Heeled's song "Rosine" depicts a sense of exhaustion and disappointment - not only in oneself but also in someone else. The singer confesses that they have grown tired of letting someone down repeatedly; it is evident that the guilt for these actions has taken a toll on them. The repetition of the phrase "I'm tired of letting you down" conveys the weight of the burden in question. Even though the conversation between the two continues, there are still certain things that the singer has not opened up about - this shows that there are still layers of communication that haven't been reached yet.
The artist then shifts the focus from themselves to the person they have let down, implying that the listener has also disappointed themselves in the past. They acknowledge that there are moments they get one another down - this could imply that the relationship has its fair share of complexities. The song's repetitive structure signifies the negative cycle of disappointments that the two are struggling to come out of.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Rosine" by Go Heeled are an ode to the difficulties of opening up about our insecurities and fears to the people we love.
