Roots With You
SVRCINA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh
Oh

Overly cautious, seems all of my problems
Are magnified when you're in the room
Intoxicated, no way of escaping
This feeling I get when I'm with you
Straight through the middle
Blade in my heart, you're so sharp
On the edge, I am too
I feel it hurt just a little
Searchin' for higher ground
'Cause I'm better with you

We're so much the same and almost too different
You push, I pull, it's making us strong
Who is to blame if all of our mistakes leave us
Standing on the right side of wrong?

Straight through the middle
Blade in my heart, you're so sharp
On the edge, I am too
I feel it hurt just a little
Searchin' for higher ground
'Cause I'm better with you

Better with you
(Better with you)
(Better with you)

When all that is left is to shut down my senses
It's like you know just what to do
In a moment of darkness, might walk out defensive
But I'm right back 'cause I know it's true

I'm better with you
(Better with you)
(Better with you)

I know I'm better
Know I'm better
I know I'm better
Know I'm better with you
I know I'm better
Know I'm better
I know I'm better

(I know I'm better)




(Know I'm better)
(I know I'm better)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of SVRCINA's song "Roots With You" delve into the complex dynamics of a relationship where the singer finds themselves struggling with their insecurities and vulnerabilities when in the presence of their partner. The opening lines highlight a sense of heightened awareness and emotional intensity when the person they care about is near, with a palpable feeling of being overwhelmed by their presence. The use of "Overly cautious" suggests a sense of self-protection and unease, possibly due to past experiences or emotional baggage.


The lyrics go on to describe the sharp, piercing nature of the connection between the singer and their partner, likening it to a blade in their heart. This metaphorical imagery conveys the idea of love as both a source of pleasure and pain, where the intensity of emotions can be overwhelming and cut deep. The mention of searching for higher ground implies a desire for clarity and stability within the relationship, a need to find a solid footing amidst the tumultuous emotions.


The chorus of the song underscores the paradoxical nature of the relationship, highlighting the simultaneous similarities and differences between the singer and their partner. The push-and-pull dynamic described reflects the challenges and growth that come from navigating differences and finding strength in unity. The lyric "Standing on the right side of wrong" suggests a willingness to embrace imperfection and mistakes as part of the journey towards understanding and acceptance.


The closing verses of the song convey a sense of resilience and acceptance, as the singer acknowledges that they are better off with their partner despite their flaws and challenges. The repetition of the phrase "I know I'm better" reflects a sense of conviction and certainty about the importance of the relationship in their life. The song ultimately speaks to the transformative power of love and connection, even in the face of adversity and vulnerability.
