TR/ST Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
what would you say, what would you do,
what would it take to claw back you
reckon you thawing, reckon you sane
reckon you clawing back again
you used your claws to be force
you're set in motion, you're still with caution
forever more you
life and all it's lows
can you heal me?
thru the darkness no one knows
round and round we go
what would you creep, what would you use
what would you claim is beneath you
reckon you calling, reckon you would
spending the night all faced with wounds
licking your lips, licking your wounds
what would you swell to keep it warm
straight up, fly by, no desire to miss
I've never wanted more than this
clicked off, and round and round we go
waiting for the comet align
a heavy stone, a heavy stone
lacking all that came in the light
round and round we go
The lyrics to TR/ST's song Grouch convey a sense of ambiguity - a struggle to pick a side and find oneself amidst the chaos of life and its challenges. The repetition of "what would you say, what would you do, pick a side," emphasizes the pressure to make a decision and find a way to "claw back" oneself. The use of animalistic language such as "reckon you thawing, reckon you clawing back again" and "you used your claws to be force" speaks to the primal nature of the struggle. The lines "life and all its lows, can you heal me?" and "thru the darkness no one knows, round and round we go" reflect a sense of hopelessness in the face of adversity.
The second stanza of the song continues the animalistic theme, with questions posed about what one would be willing to do and claim as beneath themselves. The imagery of "licking your lips, licking your wounds" conveys a sense of hunger and desperation, while the question of what one would "swell to keep it warm" suggests a willingness to do whatever it takes to survive. The final lines of the song, "waiting for the comet align, a heavy stone, a heavy stone, lacking all that came in the light, round and round we go" evoke a sense of being stuck in a cycle of struggle and waiting for something to change.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
What would you say?
What would you do?
Pick a sign
What would you say?
What would you do?
What would it take to crawl back?
You wreck and falling, reconcile
Wreck and crawling back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Forever more than
Forever mourning
You used the claws to befall
You set in motion
You steal with caution
Forever more, you
[Chorus]
Life and all its lows
Can you heal me?
Can you heal me?
In the darkness no-one knows
Round and round we go
[Verse 2]
What would you creep?
What would you use?
What would you claim to be with you?
Wreck and calling
Reckon you would
Spending the night all faced with wool
Licking the lips
Licking the wounds
What would you swell to keep that wound?
[Pre-Chorus]
Forever more than
Forever mourning
You used the claws to befall
You set in motion
You steal with caution
Forever more, you
[Chorus - x2]
Life and all its lows
Can you heal me?
Can you heal me?
In the darkness no-one knows
Round and round we go
[Bridge]
Strange and feigned
I've no desire to submit
Go out to murder this
Strange and feigned
I've no desire to submit
Go out to...
[Outro]
Clicked off, clicked off
And round and round we go
Clicked off, clicked off
And round and round we go
Waiting for the comet to land
A heavy storm, a heavy storm
Liking what will claim me to light
Round and round we go
Waiting for the comet to land
A heavy storm, a heavy storm
Liking what will claim me to light
Round and round we go
Clicked off, clicked off
And round and round we go

The bridge is, I think:
Strange, I find
I've no desire to submit
Go out to murder this
Strange, I find
I've no desire to submit
Go out to...

Damn it was 2 years ago already?
@snowpawwolf1123
You have no idea how happy it makes me when you release new songs. I seriously listen to them on repeat for the entire day.

Listening to songs on repeat all day is glutinous & indulgent. No self discipline here & you will constantly be miserable in life waiting for your next “fix”.
Doing this will land you being a heroine addict in no time.

Holy... Perhaps my sense of humour is out of date but I sure hope you’re joking.

One of the best songs of the decade
