WIINSTON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pictures in my old camera
Saucin', I′m saucin', I'm drinkin′
Stopped thinkin′ bout you
Grab on your things and move on
Grab on your things and move on
Threatened to go but I
(You′re overreacting, overreacting)
Missing you, missing you
We gon' sleep forever now
Missing you, missing you a lot
I wanna sleep forever now
You would have liked dancing love
Dancing, yo-oh-oh
Arrive in a fancy Mercedes
The rocket I′m Tracy McGrady
Lying on the bathroom floor
Never trust nobody now
I won't show my face
I can′t show my face
(I can't show my...)
Missing you, missing you
We gon' sleep forever now
Missing you, missing you a lot
I wanna sleep forever now
I′m fading but I hear you calling
Waiting for redemption, maybe it can wait
My ties to the open-hearted
Washed up alongside California bay
Waiting for redemption, maybe it can wait
Washed up alongside California bay
The lyrics of "Rosa" by WIINSTON depict a person struggling to move on from a past relationship. The opening line of the song "I don't sleep at night cause pictures in my old camera" suggests that the singer is haunted by memories of their ex-partner. They try to move on by drinking and partying, but they ultimately find themselves missing their ex. The line "Threatened to go but I didn't try to stop you" suggests that the singer did not fight to keep their partner from leaving.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Missing you, missing you, we gon' sleep forever now, missing you, missing you a lot, I wanna sleep forever now," implying that the singer feels stuck in their grief. They see sleeping as an escape from their pain and long to be reunited with their ex. The line "Never trust nobody now" suggests that the singer may have trust issues in future relationships due to the pain caused by this past one.
Overall, the song captures the complicated emotions that arise after a breakup, from the struggle to move on to the longing for the past. It is a poignant and relatable portrayal of heartbreak.
