Rosé by the Ocean
In Her Own Words Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rosé by the ocean, you were talking to yourself
You stumbled to the water, felt the sand under your feet
Holding out and hoping that it's all you'd ever need
In your eyes I've always been a sunny day
I always watch your sky turn to grey
A fake smile won't fix a broken heart
You said you wanna run away, but when has running ever fixed anything?
In your convoluted spirit, you're so difficult to follow
Intricate and over it, you're such a sight to see
You keep me on the outside, it's hard for me swallow
Leaving me believing that you're nothing but a memory
I saw it coming all along
You dig a hole in the sand when it all goes wrong
The dark clouds start rolling as the tide washes over you
In your eyes I've always been a sunny day
I always watch your sky turn to grey
Escape plan from the start
A fake smile won't fix a broken heart
You said you wanna run away, but when has running ever fixed anything?
Escape plan from the start
Your eyes close as you fade into the dark
When I wanna run away
I think about you and it makes me feel safe
(Keep my promises, it makes me feel safe
Say my goodbyes, no wasted time)
I screamed out as the sea took you farther
You tried keeping your head above water
The dark clouds start rolling as the tide washes over you
I screamed out as the sea took you farther
You tried keeping your head above water
I screamed out as the sea took you farther
I screamed out, I screamed out
(Keep my promises)
Escape plan from the start
A fake smile won't fix a broken heart
You said you wanna run away
But when has running ever fixed anything?
Escape plan from the start
Your eyes close as you fade into the dark
When I wanna run away
I think about you and it makes me feel safe
The lyrics to "Rosé by the Ocean" by In Her Own Words seem to be about a relationship that has become troubled and one person is contemplating running away. The first verse sets the scene of a conversation that took place where one person is left alone going to the ocean, contemplating their thoughts. They hope that the ocean and the rosé that they are drinking will suffice for their needs. The next verse furthers the idea that the person is struggling to communicate their feelings and is difficult to understand. They keep their partner on the outside and maintain a facade of believing that they will be nothing more than a memory. It is clear from the chorus that while the person has had moments of happiness, it is overshadowed by their darker emotions. They are a sunny day that transitions to gray sky.
The third verse is where the person actively contemplates running away. While they may believe this would fix everything, it is pointed out that running away has never fixed anything. The bridge seems to be the turning point where it is acknowledged that the relationship is over and there is no turning back. The person is taken in by the darkness and leaves the relationship behind, revealing their escape plan from the start. The chorus is repeated, reflecting the cyclical nature of the relationship. Finally, the song ends with a haunting repetition of the sea taking the person farther and them screaming out. It is unclear if this is literal or metaphorical, but it seems to end on a note of despair or perhaps salvation.
