I Couldn't Reach You
Rosie and Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was found on the ground
With a stolen wallet and phone
You know they have no respect for us
You know they have no respect for us
They took you away from me
To somewhere cold nearby the sea
And they burnt our houses down
With no living soul around
I cannot prove it
So take it from me
And they can burn down bridges
And buildings and stores
But they won't break our spirit
'cause we do have heart
You know they have no respect for us
You know they have no respect for us
The song "I Couldn't Reach You" by Rosie and Me is a song about love, loss, and the struggle to cope with unexpected and devastating events. The opening lines "I'm tired my head is pulsing like a bomb" set the tone for the rest of the song, conveying a sense of exhaustion and despair. The main character is feeling overwhelmed, and the news that their loved one has been taken away from them intensifies their despair. The line "You know they have no respect for us" repeats throughout the song, conveying a sense of anger and frustration towards those who have caused them pain.
The chorus of the song focuses on the physical distance that separates the main character from their loved one. They are unable to reach them, and the sense of isolation is overwhelming. The line "And they burnt our houses down, with no living soul around, I cannot prove it, so take it from me" suggests that something catastrophic has happened, and the main character is unable to prove who is responsible. The overall mood of the song is one of helplessness and sorrow, but the final lines "But they won't break our spirit, 'cause we do have heart" convey a sense of resilience and determination.

I'm tired my head is pulsing like a bomb
I am exhausted and my headache is pounding like an explosive device.
I was found on the ground
I was discovered lying on the floor.
With a stolen wallet and phone
Someone stole my wallet and phone.
You know they have no respect for us
They have an utter lack of reverence for people like us.
They took you away from me
They took you far from my reach.
To somewhere cold nearby the sea
They brought you to an icy area near the ocean.
Where I couldn't reach you
I was unable to contact you.
And they burnt our houses down
They set fire to our homes.
With no living soul around
Nobody was present to bear witness.
I cannot prove it
I lack the ability to provide evidence.
So take it from me
Please accept what I am saying as the truth.
And they can burn down bridges
They have the capacity to destroy bridges.
And buildings and stores
As well as buildings and stores too.
But they won't break our spirit
They cannot shatter our resolve.
'cause we do have heart
Because we possess the quality of being compassionate.

'cause we do have heart
You know they have no respect for us
You know they have no respect for us
