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.
Vacation
Katy Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a microphone's intoxication
And I can't deal with concentration
Just give me tongues and stimulation
Who are you to know my story
Who are you to read my book
"You're running in the deep end Katy
Why don't you give a damn?"
I've lost all sense of navigation
But got my Californication
Don't give me words of hard debration
I only accept infatuation
I'm a fragile kind of glass
I won't wear your stupid mask
I don't think you know how crazy people say I am
You're running in the deep end Katy
Why don't you give a damn?
I still hold hands with my creation
But cross my eyes at its elation
And if I miss my graduation
I'll have one fucking long vacation
The lyrics of Katy Rose's song "Vacation" appear to be a declaration of the artist's desire for freedom and liberation from the expectations and constraints of society. The opening lines, "I don't need an education, just a microphone's intoxication," suggest that music is the only form of learning and self-expression that the artist needs. Furthermore, the line "I can't deal with concentration, just give me tongues and stimulation" suggests that she prefers spontaneity and creativity over structure and discipline.
The verses also convey a sense of rebellion against those who would try to control her. The line "who are you to know my story, who are you to read my book" implies that she resents others presuming to know her better than she knows herself. The repeated refrain of "I don't think you know how crazy people say I am" suggests that the artist is aware of the negative perceptions others may have of her, but is unapologetic about it.
The final lines of the song, "And if I miss my graduation, I'll have one fucking long vacation," suggest that the artist is willing to sacrifice traditional markers of success (such as completing her education) in order to pursue her own path. Overall, the lyrics appear to express a desire for independence, creativity, and authenticity.
