‘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)
