Roundhead feat. Major Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sick, I'm stuck
You're here, so near
Your dream my fear
Your love, my loss
Your dime my cost
My fate, your hands
My life, your brand
Living my life in spite of you
This is the best that I can do
Nothing left for me to prove
I give it all to you
Nothing's what we made it
And we're living like we hate it
I have given all I can
But I can't anymore
Freedom, I can taste it
And the truth, I need to face it
I've always been dedicated
But I can't anymore
Girl you know our love is kinda crazy
And no matter what you're still my lady
Oh
I know you're fienin up here weekly lately
Ah boy you'll find a stretch, you'll never leave me
Oh
When you woke me up and you give me the sweetest wind up
Take someone to loving, if you be young to time uh
Yea, I figured why I was so blind now
Even though your hurt was under surface and me ignored your signs girl
Limbered and teared up, can't leave me like this
Just give me a chance for me to right this
Girl I know you live my love despite this
Cannot let you go, I got to fight for this
Nothing's what we made it
And we're living like we hate it
I have given all I can
But I can't anymore
Freedom, I can taste it
And the truth, I need to face it
I've always been dedicated
But I can't anymore
It's not right 'cause you're saying this
I wasn't born to serve you
I was born to love
Your house, your rules
Keep calm, keep cool
Tip toe, steer clear
Your mask, I wear
Your wants, my needs
Loaded, good deeds
Your frown, my smile
You're up, I'm down
Living my life in spite of you
This is the best that I can do
Nothing left for me to prove
I give it all to you
Nothing's what we made it
And we're living like we hate it
I have given all I can
But I can't anymore
Freedom, I can taste it
And the truth, I need to face it
I've always been dedicated
But I can't anymore
Anymore
Baby, and you get the reason
Baby, and you get the reason
Baby, and you get the reason
Never let it sit so long mandita
In the first stanza, the lyrics portray a tumultuous relationship where the singer feels trapped and unwell. They express fear and loss, as well as a sense of being controlled or manipulated by their partner. The lyrics suggest that the singer's life and fate are in the hands of their significant other, symbolized by "Your fate, your hands, my life, your brand."
The chorus reflects a sense of resignation and exhaustion. The singer acknowledges that they have done everything they could but can no longer give any more effort or prove themselves. They yearn for freedom and acknowledge the need to face the truth of their situation, implying that they have been dedicated to the relationship but reach a breaking point.
The second stanza introduces a different perspective, likely from the partner's point of view. They acknowledge the intensity of their love and the difficulties they have been facing. Despite the challenges, the partner reassures their commitment and the belief that the relationship can be salvaged if given another chance. It suggests a desire to make amends and fight for the love they share.
The bridge section speaks directly to the partner, challenging their control and asserting their own desires and autonomy. The lyrics highlight the power dynamics within the relationship, emphasizing the partner's dominance with phrases like "Your house, your rules" and "Your wants, my needs." The singer expresses a sense of compliance and putting on a facade, symbolized by wearing the partner's mask and forcing a smile despite their own inner turmoil.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the singer's exhaustion and resolve to no longer continue in this unfulfilling relationship. The lyrics suggest that they have finally realized that the relationship is not what they have made it out to be and they have been living in discontent. They have given their all but cannot continue anymore. The repeated phrase "Anymore" emphasizes their finality and determination to move on.
The outro section repeats the phrase "Baby, and you get the reason" several times, possibly implying that the partner finally understands or acknowledges the singer's reasons for wanting to end the relationship. The final line, "Never let it sit so long mandita," could be a call to not let the issues or conflicts linger or go unresolved for too long, suggesting that communication and understanding are vital in maintaining a healthy relationship.

Steve, you wanted to know if anyone else had anything happen at Turnagain Arm Alaska.
I went to Alaska in 2016.
We were staying on the Army Base and our friends took us to on a site seeing tour one day from Anchorage to Whittier and back.
We stopped at a pullover/ hiking trail just past Turnagain Arm because I am a photographer and wanted to go for a short hike up the trail.
The trail was steep, my friend was in the Army and very fit so he ran up the trail🙄
I am a flatlander from Florida was out of breath after walking up a half mile or so,lol.
The trail followed a creek so I walked over to the creek to get some good shots of a small waterfall.
I noticed that the forest was dead quiet and remember thinking, thats wierd.
All of a sudden I heard a loud crack like a tree snapping into.
I thought it was my friend trying to scare me but I have spent many hrs alone in the woods and do not get scared.
Welllll, just after that sound, I got the strangest gut feeling to get the hell out of there🤔
So much for not getting scared.
I hurried back down the trail, got into the car.
My friend came running back down the trail and said he thought he heard a bear.
I was really freaked out because I had never felt that feeling before.
I never said a word and later just chalked it up to me being from FL and yes I do have a fear of running into a Griz .
I never really thought about that again until hearing you read the emails from that area.
I never saw anything but, now after finding your Channel I think I know what it was.

You are brave beyond the pale. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable and sharing your experiences takes a lot of courage. I admire you. Watch your sixth.

It has amazed me that people who think the population should be reduced never think to start with themselves.
