After moving to Los Angeles from the East Coast, Rosie took on the daunting task of networking in a city that is notoriously spread out and filled to the brim with other artists on the rise. After only two years in LA, Rosie has built a strong network of producers and songwriters, crediting her success to her focus and determination, along with a bit of risk-taking. But fully pursuing a passion can come with a price, and Rosie has poured all the loss and love of the past couple of years into her first artist statement Coping. Ultimately, the EP is an invitation for the audience to discover meaning in their own story while finding solace in Rosie Darling’s transcendent songwriting.

Heavy
Rosie Darling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a headache
I talk in my sleep and say what I mean
But I can't seem to say it when anyone's listening
I don't know how to make things alright
I'm indecisive, I know you don't like that, I forget to eat
Sleep with my make-up on, called you, I got so drunk
If you hate me I hate me too, I know how I can be
It's making me anxious, don't know how to save this
If it's heavy for you, then it's heavier for me
I know you're tired of the shit I pull
But you still pull me through
I must've had my eyes closed
When I was hurting you
If it's heavy to you then it's heavy for me too
I know you're tired of my highs and lows
But you still hold mе
Oh, I must've had my eyes closеd
When I was hurting you
If it's heavy to you then it's heavy for me too
But it's heavier for me without you
I don't know how to let you be right
I get defensive, part of myself said she'd be better
But part of me's waiting for you to come get her
Crashing your party with all of my sorrys
If you hate me I hate me too, I know how I can be
This can't be the way this goes
Why not be weightless? Oh
When it's heavy to you then it's heavy for me
I know you're tired of the shit I pull
But you still pull me through
I must've had my eyes closed
When I was hurting you
If it's heavy to you then it's heavy for me too
I know you're tired of my highs and lows
But you still hold me
Oh, I must've had my eyes closed
When I was hurting you
If it's heavy to you then it's heavy for me too
But it's heavier for me without you
But it's heavier for me without you
But it's heavier for me without you
If it's heavy for you, then it's heavy for me
But it's heavier for me without you
The lyrics of Rosie Darling's song, "Heavy" illustrate a relationship filled with constant misunderstandings, confusion, and self-doubt. The opening lines, "I don't know how to put things on ice, I got a headache" immediately set the scene of someone struggling to deal with their emotions while attempting to maintain some control in their relationship with their significant other. This becomes even more apparent as they reveal their vulnerability through their speech: "But I can't seem to say it when anyone's listening." They are grappling with communicating their feelings, perhaps because they are not trusting of their partner's response or they may not fully understand their own thoughts and emotions.
The lyrics also depict someone who is deeply self-aware, but whose self-awareness does not always lead to a positive outcome. They struggle with indecisiveness and self-sabotage, admitting that they "forget to eat, sleep with my make-up on, and got so drunk." These actions may be detrimental to their well-being and their relationship, but they cannot help their behaviors. They feel guilt and remorse, admitting to "crashing your party with all my sorrys," acknowledging that their actions can have a significant impact on their partner. However, despite their negative tendencies, they know that their partner needs them, as they sing, "I know you're tired of the shit I pull, but you still pull me through."
In conclusion, "Heavy" portrays a complex, emotional relationship fraught with difficulties and misunderstandings, yet ultimately one where both partners need each other to survive. The lyrics show a struggle with self-doubt, trust, and communication, making it relatable to anyone who has gone through a tumultuous relationship.

I don't know how to put things on ice
I struggle to keep my emotions in check
I got a headache
I'm stressed and overwhelmed
I talk in my sleep and say what I mean
I am more honest when I am not fully conscious
But I can't seem to say it when anyone's listening
I struggle to express myself clearly when I am awake
I don't know how to make things alright
I don't have the answers to fix our issues
I'm indecisive, I know you don't like that, I forget to eat
I have trouble making decisions and taking care of myself
Sleep with my make-up on, called you, I got so drunk
I engage in unhealthy behavior and reach out to you when I am not in a good state of mind
Crashing your party with all of my sorrys
I keep apologizing for my mistakes
If you hate me I hate me too, I know how I can be
I am aware of my flaws and it hurts me to see how they affect our relationship
It's making me anxious, don't know how to save this
I am worried and uncertain about how to fix our relationship
If it's heavy for you, then it's heavier for me
Our relationship problems are affecting me deeply
I know you're tired of the shit I pull
I understand that my actions are frustrating for you
But you still pull me through
Despite my flaws, you try to support and help me
I must've had my eyes closed when I was hurting you
I did not realize how much my actions were hurting you
If it's heavy to you then it's heavy for me too
I am aware of how much our relationship problems are affecting you
But it's heavier for me without you
Losing you would be devastating for me
This can't be the way this goes
I am unhappy with the way our relationship is currently progressing
Why not be weightless? Oh
I wish we could let go of our problems and be happy together
But it's heavier for me without you
My life would be difficult without you in it

I don't know how to put things on ice
I got a headache
I talk in my sleep and say what I mean
But I can't seem to say it when anyone's listening

She sounds a little bit like Halsey, not completely, but a bit.
