Rosyln
Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aren't we just terrified?
Shale, screen your worry from what you won't ever find
Don't let it fool you
Don't let it fool you down
Dancing around, folds in her gown
Cocked to the undertow
Bones blood and teeth erode
They will be crashing low
Wings wouldn't help you
Wings wouldn't help you down
Down towards the ground, gravity's proud.
You barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When'd this just become a mortal home?
Won't, won't, won't, won't
Won't let you talk me
Won't let you talk me... down
We'll pull it taut, nothing let out
The song "Rosyln" by Twinkle Twinkle Little Rock Star is a haunting and introspective track that delves into the themes of fear, uncertainty, and mortality. The opening lines, "Up with your turret, Aren't we just terrified?", set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer seems to be grappling with some intense emotions. The reference to a turret might suggest a feeling of being trapped, or perhaps a struggle to maintain control in the face of overwhelming anxiety.
The second verse of the song continues with a vivid imagery of the sea and rock below, cocked to the undertow. It's a metaphorical representation of how the world can feel like a dangerous and unpredictable place sometimes. The theme of mortality is emphasized by the line, "Bones blood and teeth erode, They will be crashing low", which seems to imply that everything eventually deteriorates and turns to dust.
The chorus comes in with a message of hope, "Wings wouldn't help you, Wings wouldn't help you down, Down towards the ground, gravity's proud", even though wings wouldn't help the singer escape their problems, they're not going to give up. The final verse jumps to a more personal note, which starts quite enigmatically with the line, "You barely are blinking, Wagging your face around". The meaning behind this verse is hard to grasp, but it seems to hint at the idea of death and how we should enjoy our time on earth.
Line by Line Meaning
Up with your turret
Raise your defenses
Aren't we just terrified?
Are we not scared?
Shale, screen your worry from what you won't ever find
Hide your fears from what you can't discover
Don't let it fool you
Don't be deceived
Don't let it fool you down
Don't let it make you feel down
Dancing around, folds in her gown
She dances freely in her elegant dress
Sea and the rock below
The ocean and the stone beneath it
Cocked to the undertow
Pulled towards the water's undercurrent
Bones blood and teeth erode
Our physical bodies deteriorate
They will be crashing low
We will inevitably come crashing down
Wings wouldn't help you
Even wings couldn't save you
Wings wouldn't help you down
Even wings couldn't stop you from falling
Down towards the ground, gravity's proud.
Gravity will always bring us down
You barely are blinking
You hardly even blink
Wagging your face around
You move your face around restlessly
When'd this just become a mortal home?
When did this world become our temporary place of residence?
Won't let you talk me
I won't let you bring me down
We'll pull it taut, nothing let out
We'll keep things under control and not let anything slip
