1) Subrosa was a doom metal group hailing from Salt Lake City, UT, United States, formed in 2005. Bandmembers Rebecca Vernon (Guitar, vocals, The Keening), Sarah Pendleton (Electric violin, vocals, The Otolith/Asphodel Wine/Avarice), Kim Pack (Electric violin, vocals, The Otolith/Avarice/Teleprom), Levi Hanna ( Bass, The Otolith) and Andy Patterson ( Drums, The Otolith/Insect Ark/Døne) produced an eclectic mix of stoner / sludge metal with neoclassical undertones. To quote Sarah,"We are attempting to be the sonic interpreters of that which is intangible".
The band's first full-length album, Strega, emerged in 2008 on I Hate records. Lineup instability undulated up to the following year's EP Swans Trapped in Ice, afterwhich the current lineup solidified and began conception.
The sophmore release No Help for the Mighty Ones found release through leading indie metal label Profound Lore in early 2011, granting the group much-deserved praise and exposure. The band has played festivals and shows in Salt Lake City, and a couple short tours in the US and Europe, recently rounding out CrucialFest with Witch Mountain. Latest album to date More Constant Than The Gods was released September 17 2013. Subrosa announced their breakup on Facebook on 20 May 2019.

2) Subrosa was a rock band from Gainesville, FL, United States, founded by Travis Tooke and Jack Griego after the accident that involved the band For Squirrels, killing members Jack Vigliatura and Bill White and tour manager Tim Bender. Griego and Tooke suffered multiple injuries, but survived the crash.
A few months after the accident, Tooke and Griego regrouped with school friend Andy Lord on bass and Tooke taking over on vocals. In February 1996, the new lineup began by playing a few low-key shows centered around classic For Squirrels songs and a selection of covers under the pseudonym Revlover. Eventually, they resurrected the For Squirrels moniker and began writing and performing new material, favoring a heavier grunge sound.
By late 1996, the trio was playing under the name Subrosa. In the summer of 1997, they released their only record under this name, "Never Bet the Devil Your Head", on Sony Records, to decent reviews but poor sales. Second guitarist Mike Amish was later added, which was followed by a tour supporting popular alternative rock act Creed. Griego eventually parted ways with the group and was replaced in the band’s final years by Rusty Valentine. They disbanded in 2001.

3) Subrosa is an acoustic three-piece hailing from the Midlands, UK. They play a mix of pop, folk, soul and rock inspired guitar. The two guitarists have a background in post hardcore and progressive rock. The vocalist comes from a background in soul and jazz funk. Official website: http://www.subrosamusic.co.uk

Sugar Creek
SubRosa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know a path in the woods
Don't be afraid; they're only shadows
It's safer here when there's two

I thought I heard her calling
I thought I saw her falling
(I swear I saw her falling)

You look so levely in the shadows
I've forgotten why I ever angered
I see your eyes in the shallows

Her reflection lies in dirty water
And now her body's like an angel

Now her body's like an angel
And now I know I'll never anger

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of SubRosa's song Sugar Creek are difficult to interpret as it seems to be imbued with a sinister tone. The first verse mentions a path in the woods where shadows lurk, and the singer is reassuring someone to not be afraid as it's safer when there's two. The imagery used in this verse is already ominous, and it seems like the singer is talking to someone who's hesitant or scared to go with them on this journey through the woods. The second verse suggests that the singer thought they heard someone calling and saw them falling. The lyrics "I swear I saw her falling" imply that the singer is talking to someone who's no longer there, or they might be hallucinating. The third verse is the most interesting one because the language used is poetic yet it seems to suggest something terrible has happened. The singer refers to the other person's eyes in the shadows, and they've forgotten why they ever got angry at them. This could suggest that the singer is talking to someone who died, and they regret their past arguments. The last two lines are particularly fascinating as they imply that the other person has died, and their body is turning into an angel.

The imagery used in this song suggests something dark is happening, and the singer is grappling with their own mortality. The sentimental longing for someone that's gone is evident throughout the song. The chorus, which repeats after every verse, suggests that the singer is trying to make sense of what's happening, and they're questioning if what they're going through is real. The imagery used throughout the song, like the dirty water, woods, and shadows, suggests a loss of innocence and the possibility of something malicious happening. Overall, the song seems to be about someone who's lost, and they're searching for a way back home, and in the process, they might have lost themselves.

Line by Line Meaning

I know a path in the woods
I have knowledge of a hidden route in the forest

Don't be afraid; they're only shadows
Do not fear, the shadows we see are harmless

It's safer here when there's two
The situation is less risky when there is more than one person

I thought I heard her calling
I believed I heard her voice calling out

I thought I saw her falling
I believed I witnessed her collapsing

(I swear I saw her falling)
(I am certain I saw her fall)

You look so levely in the shadows
You appear beautiful when obscured by darkness

I've forgotten why I ever angered
I cannot recall why I ever became angry

I see your eyes in the shallows
I can see your eyes reflected in the shallow water

Her reflection lies in dirty water
Her reflection is distorted in murky water

And now her body's like an angel
And now that she's passed away, she has an ethereal quality
