Rope Lyrics

This indecision got me climbing up the wall
Been cheating gravity and waiting on the fall
How did this come over me, thought I was above it all
Our hopes gone up in smoke, swallow your crown

Choke, on a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
Choke, on a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear when you, go,
I, come, loose

These premonitions got me crying up a storm
Leave your condition, this position does no harm

Choke, on a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
Choke, on a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear when you, go,
I, come, loose

Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
Give me some hope I'm coming through, I'm counting on you
Give me some rope, I'm coming out of my head, into the clear when you go,
I come

Loose

He's trying to get the one he wants but she wont cut him slack, she's killing the relationship.

"Choke! On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you"

The song is about climbing walls of a relationship. Sometimes you hang on someone, and the other time you're pulling that person up: Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now

Right on man, that's how I interpret it as well.

The last line of the chorus is definitely "Give me some rope, I'm coming out of my head, when you go, I come... loose."

I think DrTrunks is right on with this one. The song seems like its a lot of pulling the other person along and trying just to make it together

or could be that person's contemplating suicide pending the other's decision on their status..trying to pull it together..give me a reason not to do this..give me a reason to live..

The last line of the chorus is clearly: "Out of my head, into the clear when you... go... I... come loose"

Great song.

It almost sounds like the ending of an affair - he wants her to leave her boyfriend/husband/well to do future and come away with him, and instead she's ending it. He was waiting on her to admit that they had something, and she turned away from him.

I agree, I can clearly hear him say when you go I come loose. If you check other sites they all say this too.

AMAZING. The Foos are back.

in my eyes, this song is about suicide by hanging yourself, hence the name "rope". just look at the lines "been cheating gravity and waiting on the fall" and "leave your condition this position does no harm"

I interpreted this song as someone in a relationship exposing their true self and really connecting rather than just being shallow...and a few things that come with this process including the worry of the outcome of the "next level" of relation perhaps. Shit, I dunno.

my original miss heard lyrics just for lols were "yawwh! Anarchist, thought i'd save my presents for you!" lol.
