Rosarita
Drenched in Heartache: Rosarita's Rainy Embrace by Sam Morrow
Lyrics
Looking in the mirror, I look like a wreck
Reflection on personal appearance, feeling like a mess.
That woman ran around done left me for dead
Expressing abandonment by a woman who left, possibly emotionally or physically.
Told me stories, built me up with lies
Recalling deceptive stories told, leading to false elevation.
Damn she looked good in that polyethylene disguise
Commenting on the allure of the woman despite a deceptive exterior.
I'm livin on cold pizza
Describing a lifestyle with leftovers, possibly symbolizing emotional coldness.
I'm mixing up my days
Indicating a disordered or confusing life situation.
She's just an hour from my doorstep
Proximity to a woman named Rosarita, suggesting a complex relationship.
Rosarita, ain't nothing sweeter, but she only brings me rain
Describing Rosarita as sweet, but with a negative impact (brings rain).
She got me walking on a tightrope, got me flying with the planes
Metaphorically walking on a tightrope and flying with planes, depicting instability.
I'd live in my car so she could drive me insane
Expressing willingness to endure difficulties for the relationship.
Take all my money, be my rock
Willingness to sacrifice (money) for the relationship.
Tick when she's away feels like days till the tock
Time feels slow when Rosarita is away, emphasizing her significant role.
I'm livin on cold pizza
Repetition of the cold pizza imagery, reinforcing a sense of emotional coldness.
I'm mixing up my days
Continuation of a disordered or confusing life situation.
She's just an hour from my doorstep
Reiteration of Rosarita's proximity and its impact on the speaker.
Rosarita, ain't nothing sweeter, but she only brings me rain
Reiterating Rosarita's sweetness with a negative consequence (brings rain).
Oh she only brings me rain
Emphasizing the negative impact of Rosarita, bringing rain into the speaker's life.
Oh she only brings me rain
Repetition for emphasis, highlighting the consistent negative influence of Rosarita.
She only brings me rain
Further emphasis on Rosarita's tendency to bring rain, metaphorically symbolizing trouble.
Rosarita, flooding these streets
Depicting Rosarita's influence as flooding the speaker's surroundings.
Sailing shoes strapped tight long as my tooth's still sweet
Metaphorically describing preparedness for challenges as long as personal essence remains.
I'm livin on cold pizza
Recurrence of the cold pizza imagery, reinforcing emotional detachment.
I'm mixing up my days
Continuation of a disordered or confusing life situation.
She's just an hour from my doorstep
Reiteration of Rosarita's proximity and its impact on the speaker.
Rosarita, ain't nothing sweeter, but she only brings me rain
Reiterating Rosarita's sweetness with a negative consequence (brings rain).
