Starting at age sixteen, Rose began work on her debut album, Because I Can, for V2 Records. The record's lead single, Overdrive, was released on October 21, 2003 with the album following on January 27, 2004. The album was met with mixed critical reception and moderate success leading to only one other single being released, I Like. In addition to this, Rose was also featured on the soundtracks of the films Mean Girls and Thirteen.
In 2005, Rose parted ways with V2 Records. She then started work on her band project, Candy Eyed, which was released on June 4, 2007 under independent record label, River Jones Music. Rose parted ways with the label shortly after the albums release for unknown reasons. Following her second partition, Rose started work on a third album titled Tangled But True. The album was expected to be released in 2009 under a new Japanese label, but was ultimately shelved. Currently Rose is in the process of recording a new album set to be released sometime this year.

Katy Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tore them apart and then
Left me
No use to fly away to
My yesterday
Of freedom
My eyes died back that day
Seeing the hurt I may have done
Pain is my only zen
Of fun
I'll go where secrets are sold
Where roses unfold
I'll sleep as time goes by
So hurting here is where I belong dreaming a song
Blood on my hands to stay strong
The flowers in the graveyard are all gone I don't belong
There is no right to heal the wrong
Soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die
I can't throw up don't think I even want to try
You still can't make me cry
You've pinned this butterfly
Down
My fire's burning out
Kill my flame without
A frown
And starving hurts the soul
When you're hungry for
Some love
So if I close my eyes
I can really fly
Above
I'll go where secrets are sold
Where roses unfold
I'll sleep as time goes by
So hurting here is where I belong dreaming a song
Blood on my hands to stay strong
The flowers in the graveyard are all gone I don't belong
There is no right to heal the wrong
Soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die
I can't throw up don't think I even want to
Try try try
Katy Rose's Lemon is a song about feeling trapped and powerless. Through her lyrics, she is describing how her wings have been clipped and she is no longer able to fly away to her once free life. She feels like her eyes died back after seeing the hurt she may have caused and the pain she experiences is her only escape from the reality she is living in. She describes wanting to go to a place where secrets are sold and roses unfold, where she can sleep as time goes by because hurting is where she belongs. She dreams of a better life, one where she doesn't have to feel like she has blood on her hands to stay strong, but unfortunately, that life seems unattainable to her. She explains that the flowers in the graveyard are all gone, and she doesn't belong, and there's no right to heal the wrong. The painful situation she is in leaves her feeling like her only options are to survive or die, and she can't even bring herself to throw up, demonstrating how powerless she has become.

They've clipped my wings again
My freedom has been taken away from me
Tore them apart and then
My wings were destroyed completely
Left me
I was abandoned and left alone
No use to fly away to
I have no means of escape
My yesterday
A time when I was free
Of freedom
When I had the ability to do what I wanted
My eyes died back that day
I lost my hope and optimism
Seeing the hurt I may have done
I regret the actions that may have caused harm
Beat me instead of them
I was punished for the wrongs of others
Pain is my only zen
I find solace in my suffering
Of fun
Because joy seems unattainable
I'll go where secrets are sold
I will search for the truth in hidden places
Where roses unfold
Where beauty can still be found in the midst of darkness
I'll sleep as time goes by
I will let time pass and try to find peace
So hurting here is where I belong dreaming a song
I am used to pain and find solace in creating music
Blood on my hands to stay strong
I have been through so much that I will not break easily
The flowers in the graveyard are all gone I don't belong
I feel like an outcast, even in death
There is no right to heal the wrong
The pain I've suffered cannot be undone or forgotten
Soup's on hot feelin' like a do or die
Life is a struggle and I must fight to survive
I can't throw up don't think I even want to try
I cannot escape from my pain through drugs or alcohol
You still can't make me cry
I am resilient and will not be broken
You've pinned this butterfly
I am trapped and cannot escape
Down
I am defeated
My fire's burning out
I am losing my passion and energy
Kill my flame without
My spark has been extinguished by external forces
A frown
Without a care or concern
And starving hurts the soul
I am not just physically hungry, but spiritually empty
When you're hungry for
When you long for something that seems unattainable
Some love
The affection and connection of others
So if I close my eyes
When I am lost in my thoughts or dreams
I can really fly
I can escape from my reality
Above
To a better, brighter place
