Cautious Clay - Roots (LIVE from The Mouzon House)
‘Roots’ is about having an established history with someone and coming to the often difficult realization that things ultimately won't last because of elements in the relationship that are toxic. I tried to make that sentiment known in the first verse, 'from atoms up to comets, life is never promised, you could make me wanna lie and be dishonest'. It's about wanting to put yourself out there and be emotionally vulnerable to a fault, however ultimately knowing that what's best is for both people to separate and move on. Enjoy the live version. Cautious Clay - Roots (LYRICS): From atoms up to comets Life is never promised You can make me lie and Wanna be dishonest The simple things they mean much Just stay a while, be in touch I’m clocking out at 8 Let’s get tacos & the red punch But you got your eyes down You say you’re gonna leave Gotta clean house Just another rinse repeat On life, and love Life, and love I really miss the feeling The confidence in silence The simple things they mean much It’s never been a science So you gotta trust in the process Cuz nothing lasts forever anyway Got my best advise from a broken screen display But you got your eyes down You say you’re gonna leave Gotta clean house Just another rinse repeat On life, and love Life, and love Don’t know what you thinking bout In patterns you’ve been speaking out Can’t remember meaning Lord knows I’ve been reaching It’s harder cuz the roots run deep A smile says what I can’t see through I guess half the way I’ll meet you But you got your eyes down You say you’re gonna leave Gotta clean house Just another rinse repeat On life, and love Life, and love (Life, and love) Check out the visualizer for Roots here: • Cautious Clay - Roots (Official Lyric Video) #CautiousClay #Roots #LIVE
