The Comedown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's on my mind.
Yeah, the grass is always greener when you're by my side.
You always know when it's real,
But you don't know
No I don't know,
I'm gonna play this by ear,
Cause I don't know
Cause you don't know,
Cause we don't know if it's right.
Take it slow,
But fast enough so I don't remember that I have to be alone.
Take it slow, she said...
Go smell, go smell the Ro$es.
She loves me, she loves me not... She loves me, she loves me not.
Yeah, I got a secret that's ready to bloom.
To honest to tell you the truth.
I'm sorry I can't be,
What you need. (what you need)
You always know when it's real,
But you don't know
No I don't know,
No we don't know if it's right.
I'm gonna play this by ear,
Cause I don't know
Cause you don't know,
Cause we don't know if it's right.
Take it slow,
But fast enough so I don't remember that I have to be alone.
Take it slow, she said...
Go smell, go smell the Ro$es.
Damn, I can't for the life of me, believe what you've done to me.
Calling me, wanting me,
Next thing you ain't needing me.
Bitch, please.
Take it slow... Take it slow.
Go smell, go smell the Ro$es.
The lyrics of "Roses" by The Comedown are about a relationship that is uncertain and confusing. The singer is trying to hide what's on their mind, but they feel like everything is better when their significant other is by their side. Despite this, both parties know that they are uncertain about the future of the relationship. The song culminates in the realization that the singer's partner doesn't need them anymore, leaving them feeling betrayed and hurt.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Take it slow" multiple times, which can be interpreted as a mantra for the relationship. The singer wants to slow down the pace of the relationship to savor each moment together, but they are also afraid to commit fully. The phrase "Go smell the Ro$es" can also be interpreted as an attempt to live in the moment and enjoy the present.
Overall, the lyrics of "Roses" convey a sense of uncertainty and insecurity in a relationship, as the singer is trying to navigate their emotions and the future of the relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm trying to hide,
I'm concealing my emotional state
What's on my mind.
What I'm thinking remains unvoiced
Yeah, the grass is always greener when you're by my side.
With you near, everything seems wonderful
You always know when it's real,
Affection's loyalty is obvious
But you don't know
However, you are unaware
No I don't know,
In fact, neither do I
No we don't know if it's right.
We cannot say it is correct
I'm gonna play this by ear,
I will decide based on circumstances
Cause I don't know
As I am uncertain
Cause you don't know,
Since you are yet unenlightened
Cause we don't know if it's right.
Overall, it remains uncertain whether it's correct or not
Take it slow,
Proceed carefully
But fast enough so I don't remember that I have to be alone.
But also with enough momentum to forget about loneliness
She loves me, she loves me not... She loves me, she loves me not.
In doubt, handpicking flower petals to guess her feelings
Yeah, I got a secret that's ready to bloom.
I have a revelation that is about to unfold
Too honest to tell you the truth.
I'm too upfront to come clean
I'm sorry I can't be,
I apologize for being unable to fulfill
What you need. (what you need)
Whatever requirement you are seeking.
Damn, I can't for the life of me, believe what you've done to me.
I cannot believe what you have done to me
Calling me, wanting me,
Yearning for me via phone calls
Next thing you ain't needing me.
How fast you no longer require me shocks me
Bitch, please.
A contemptuous retort
Go smell, go smell the Ro$es.
Go analyze the benefits of life
Take it slow... Take it slow.
Reminding oneself to proceed with caution
Go smell, go smell the Ro$es.
Learn from the best things life has to offer
