Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not okay with the distance that's been growin' girl
I'm not okay, I love you never show it
And I'm not afraid of the future what it's holdin'
Girl I'm not afraid, let me shut my eyes, I'm zonin'

Turn the radio down and lay you down too
I could be the one for you
Turn the radio down and lay you down too
I could be the one for you

I know we're not in love, love is vivid
No we're not in love, you fall right in it for a week, a month
Or maybe just a minute or a lifetime
What's the difference big bang or collision? Love is blind

We had a vision though
Now we dead roses
We had a vision though
Now we dead roses

I'm not okay with the distance that's been growin' girl
I'm not okay, I love you never show it
And I'm not afraid of the future what it's holdin'
Girl I'm not afraid, let me shut my eyes, I'm zonin'

Turn the radio down and lay you down too
I could be the one for you
Turn the radio down and lay you down too
I could be the one for you

I know we're not in love, love is vivid
No we're not in love, you fall right in it for a week, a month
Or maybe just a minute or a lifetime
What's the difference big bang or collision? Love is blind

We had a vision though
Now we dead roses
We had a vision though
Now we dead roses

I'm not okay with the distance that's been growin' girl
I'm not okay, I love you never show it
And I'm not afraid of the future what it's holdin'
Girl I'm not afraid

Now why did she send them
These broken down, wilted, beat up, rotten looking flowers?
You know she actually called a florist and did the whole thing




And had them send, she must have had them send
Send a dead, a dozen dead roses

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blackbear's "Deadroses" signify the emotional struggle of being in a relationship where one partner is not getting the emotional and physical attention they desire. The "distance" between them is growing, and the singer expresses frustration that he is not able to show his love to his partner. Despite this, he is not afraid of the future and the unknown, and is willing to take a chance on his relationship. He wants to "shut his eyes" and escape from the world, but he realizes that he needs to be present in his relationship if it's going to work.


The line "love is blind" serves to emphasize the idea that love can be brief, intense and fragile, like a flower that blooms quickly and then dies. The metaphor of "dead roses" is used to describe the fragility of relationships, which can be destroyed by distance, time, and neglect. The singer is acutely aware of the distance between him and his partner, and the fact that they are not in love in the traditional sense, but he still holds onto the hope that they can make it work.


Overall, the lyrics of "Deadroses" convey a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty, in which the singer is desperately clinging onto a relationship that is teetering on the brink of collapse.
