Roses & Revolutions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said keep our business on the low-low
I'm just tryna get you out the friend zone
'Cause you look even better than the photos
I can't find your house, send me the info
Driving through the gated residential
Found out I was coming, sent your friends home
Keep on tryna hide it but your friends know
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time that I'll be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, yeah
I only fuck you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, babeI'ma let you know and keep it simple
Tryna keep it up, don't seem so simple
I just fucked two bitches 'fore I saw you
You gon' have to do it at my tempo
Always tryna send me off to rehab
Drugs start to feeling like it's decaf
I'm just tryna live life for the moment
And all these motherfuckers want a real love
a real life
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time that I'll be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, yeah
I only fuck you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, babe
Hills have eyes, the hills have eyes
Who are you to judge, who are you to judge?
Hide your lies, girl, hide your lies
Only you to trust, only you
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time that I'll be by your side
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, yeah
I only fuck you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me
When I'm fucked up, that's the real me, babe
The lyrics of Roses & Revolutions's song The Hills showcase a complicated relationship in which the singer only seems to be interested in the physical aspect of the connection. The song starts with the man on the road doing promotion and the woman asking him to keep the relationship on the low-low. She seems to be interested in developing a deeper connection, as she wants to get out of the "friend zone," but he only seems to be focused on the pleasure he gets from her touch. The reference to "half past five" highlights the idea of a casual, late-night hook-up rather than a relationship.
The singer admits to having a drug problem and living life for the moment, which can be seen in lines such as "I'm just tryna live life for the moment." He seems to be aware of his issues, but he is not yet willing to seek help, as suggested in the lyrics "Always tryna send me off to rehab / Drugs start to feel like it's decaf." The repeated lyrics of "When I'm fucked up, that's the real me" encourage the idea that while he is under the influence, he can let his guard down and be vulnerable.
Overall, "The Hills" lyrics delve into the complexities of relationships and mental health issues. It highlights a lack of emotional connection and a focus on the physical, as well as the challenges of admitting there is a problem and seeking help to overcome it.
