Rose
SubLab Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A rose all alone
Bloom for no one, I know
So don't hold me close
It won't do no good
It won't do no good
I'm no good for you
I told you from the start
I'll only leave you scarred

And I'm not what you need
I'll find a way to leave
And make it feel so sweet
And make it feel so sweet
A place in my heart
Once a garden, no more
So don't hold me close
It won't do no good
It won't do no good
I'm no good for you
I told you from the start
I'll only leave you scarred
And I'm not what you need
I'll find a way to leave
And make it feel so sweet
No, I just can't pretend
'Cause I know how this will end
I'm no good for you
I told you from the start
I'll only leave you scarred
And I'm not what you need
I'll find a way to leave

And make it feel so sweet
And make it feel so sweet

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to SubLab's "Rose" tell a story of a person who is aware that they are not good for someone else, and they try to distance themselves before causing any harm. The rose mentioned in the opening line is a metaphor for the singer themselves. Just like the rose that blooms for no one, they believe that their presence will not benefit anyone around them. As a result, they ask the other person not to hold them close because it won't do any good - it won't make them better for the other person. The singer is aware of their flaws and warns that they will only bring harm to the other, causing scars that will last.

The bridge of the song marks a shift in the story as the singer talks about a time when they did have a place in their heart for someone else. However, that time has passed, and the garden has turned into a barren desert. They reiterate that getting close to them won't do any good because they're no good for the other person. The final verse shows the singer's determination to leave before they cause any further damage. They can't pretend that everything is fine because they know how the story will end. The song ends with the singer convincing themselves that leaving will feel sweet, even though they're aware that their departure will only bring temporary relief.

Unfair for your channel to be this small compared to the others uploading your music, I know they give credit but I'd still like to see at least a hundred thousand on this bitch. Sick song!
