Rolling Suitcase
Rose Polenzani Lyrics

The song "Rolling Suitcase" by Rose Polenzani is a poetic expression of a woman's desire for space and time for herself in the midst of a relationship. The singer contemplates the idea of "letting him out" - possibly referring to her partner or simply the burdens and responsibilities that come with love - but decides to wait a little while before doing so. She acknowledges that this is the only time she has to herself in the house and that her private thoughts are like hardened rocks at her feet.

In the chorus, the singer talks about packing "the rolling suitcase of my love" if she can't create a safe place for herself. This could be interpreted as her way of carrying her love with her wherever she goes, but also as a symbol of her readiness to leave if the relationship becomes suffocating or unbearable.

The second verse reveals that the singer has already set someone free, possibly a former lover or an aspect of herself that needed to be released. Like the birds that are impatient for the day, she too wants to be free and unencumbered. However, she also wants to show the human side of herself to her partner and ease the guilt she feels about wanting to be alone. Overall, the song highlights the importance of boundaries and self-care in relationships, as well as the need for open communication and understanding.
