Cautious Clay - Roots (Official Lyric Video)

‘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.

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)

[ImaginaryNate]

Most underrated song of yours. Commenting 5 months late because it somehow only has 53k views as of right now. Just one of those songs that makes you “feel things”, that unearthly feeling that feels so good when you just vine to the right kind of music. It’s like the feeling of a warm sunset in your ears

[imjustjennn]

Everything about this song is just wow

[aaryiah]

he outdoes himself every song! love this

[NatoHJ]

Joshua’s voice is the best I’ve ever heard.

[djkrazy]

Barely heard this song yesterday and I’ve probably played it 300 times

[dazednconfused]

Cautious I’ve been following your music since the RESONANCE album and man this track here is a for sure winner speaks to the soul

[roseberry]

Dude I have no idea how you don’t have more of a following. I listened to Stolen Moments over a year and half ago and your catalog is out of control good. Most listened to ever since.

[Earthakiss]

I had a really hard day yesterday & woke up this morning & heard this for the first time. I'm so grateful. This song is beautiful. And speaks to exactly how I'm feeling right now.

[yaeji]

Found this on Spotify, didn’t regret.

[nicolew]

I've been listening to this song nonstop for the past 3 days. Incredible!

[marcusscottbalahari]

Found this on Amazon Music "The New Black" playlist. Absolutely love his voice. Total vibe!

[ADPRODUCTIONS]

I felt incredibly introspective after listening to this song, which then turned into gratitude. Anyone else get that same feeling?

[pharaohelijah]

I can remember all my life in only 2:52 minutes!! Magic!

[giftofloveandpeace]

one of those songs you blast on replay all day
