Rice, Damien - Rootless Tree Lyrics






What I want from you is empty your head
They say be true, don't stain your bed
We do what we need to be free
And it leans on me like a rootless tree

What I want from us is empty our minds
We fake the thoughts, and fracture the times
We go blind when we've needed to see
And this leans on me, like a rootless...

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
There's nothing in you
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, then hate me so good
That you can let me out, let me out, let me out
Of this hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out

What I want from this
Is learn to let go
No not of you
Of all that's been told
Killers re-invent and believe
And this leans on me, like a rootless...

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
There's nothing in you
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, then hate me so good
That you can let me out, let me out, let me out
Of this hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Of this hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out

Fuck you, fuck you, love you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It's nothing in you
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, then hate me so good
That you can let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around

Let me out, let me out, let me out
Hell when you're around

    You haven’t lived until you’ve heard the acoustic version. So much raw emotion. Much better than this version, imho

  11. T.... H....

    What amazing lyrics. What an amazing song. The way that he has just explained one of the hardest things to explain in the most perfect way is great. I love the way he is saying that if they really hated him then they'd leave him alone. Absolutely fab! Such an inspirational artist to me as an artist and to pretty much everyone else who has listened to his music and is a songwriter

    Caring about someone who doesn't love you back is one of the hardest things to deal with. The lack of acknowledgement after letting that person know is worse. This song perfectly sums it up. Stunning!

    Let me out let me out let me out let me out
    Hate me so good let out.....

  35. I.... G....

    I must be the only person who doesn't hear the "I love you" :/

    yep it has an i love you in the end, prettiest and most honest lyrics

  36. C.... C....

    Killers reinvent and believe and this leans on me, like a rootless....fuck you fuck you fuck you and all weve been through ♡

  37. D.... D....

    My boyfriend broke up with me a short while before I first listened to this song and honestly I'm glad I found this song at that time, it really helped me to move on.

  38. a.... ....

    "So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you and all we’ve been through I said leave it, leave it it’s nothing to you and if you hate me, then hate me so good that you can let me out of this hell when you’re around..."

  39. a.... t....

    i love the honesty of this song, when you love someone but actually you are like fuck you. the way he puts his lyrics together is magic to my ears. a poet. i feel a lot of the best songs are actually poetic in nature.

  40. �.... �....

    One of the best songs ever. "Fuck You" hasn't meant this much since Catcher In the Rhye.

  41. S.... E....

    Dokunma bulutlarıma... Acıyor.

  42. L.... ....

    it's been over 10 years since i heard this song first. was a teenager back then. now 'fuck you, fuck you..love you" bears a whole new meaning.

  43. P.... K....

    I listen to this any time I'm pissed off. Any time since someone breaks me into pieces.

  44. F.... P....

    Stupenda!!!!!!

    yea hate me bitch because im not a good person i can fuck your life and ur heart so hate me and leave me alone...

    What I want from you 我想要
    Is empty your head 清除你所有的想像
    They say be true 他們說,"面對現實吧
    Don't stay in your bed 滾下床
    We do what we need to be free 我們都忙著為自由而活啊"
    And it leans on me 但怎麼我覺得這一切
    Like a rootless tree 像搖搖欲墜樹,快要崩塌

    What I want from us 我想要
    Is empty our minds 清除我們的思緒
    We fake a fuss 什麼大小疑猜
    And fracture the times 破碎的時間
    We go blind 我們看不見
    When we've needed to see 該看見的事情
    And it leans on me 怎麼覺得這一切
    Like a rootless... 像搖搖欲墜的樹,快要崩塌

    So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you 欸你去死吧
    And all we've been through 還有該死的過去
    I said leave it, leave it, leave it 你怎麼還不放下
    It's nothing to you 那些連屁都不是
    And if you hate me, hate me, hate me 如果你恨了我
    Then hate me so good that you can let me out 就恨到底讓我離開吧
    Let me out of this hell when you're around 離開有你的苦海
    Let me out, let me out, 讓我離開,讓我逃
    Let me out of this hell when you're around 逃離有你的苦海
    Let me out, let me out 讓我離開,讓我逃

    What I want from this 我想要
    Is learn to let go 學著放下
    No, not of you 不是想忘掉你
    Of all that's been told 而是那些
    Killers reinvent and believe 換湯不換藥的毒
    And this leans on me 這些事情...
    Like a rootless... 就像欲墜的....

    So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you 欸你去死吧
    And all we've been through 還有該死的過去
    I said leave it, leave it, leave it 你怎麼還不放下
    It's nothing to you 那些連屁都不是
    And if you hate me, hate me, hate me 如果你恨了我
    Then hate me so good that you can let me out 就恨到底讓我離開吧
    Let me out of this hell when you're around 離開有你的苦海
    Let me out, let me out, 讓我離開,讓我逃
    Let me out of this hell when you're around 逃離有你的苦海
    Let me out, let me out 讓我離開,讓我逃


    So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you 欸你去死吧
    And all we've been through 還有該死的過去

    K.... C....

    @Killjoy Xhee thank u dear

    K.... C....

    @Aflan Garayev hehehe

    K.... C....

    this song is not about letting someone go.. but someone not commiting to giving the other a chance to be let go

  53. S.... L....

    this song is ok

  54. S.... D....

    My best part "Then hate me so good you can let me out of this hell when you're around".. just love this song in general, raw passion, it's easier to hate somebody than fucking miss them, and I won't fucking miss her!

  55. T.... A....

    I'm also here to write a „ fuck you“ comment.

    FUCK YOU!

    T.... A....

    +Twisted Animator yo point that fuck you towards someone!

  56. C.... B....

    Incredible song, incredible lyrics, incredible voices, incredible Lisa :)
    L<3VE

  57. A.... S....

    Fuck you fuck you fuck you and all that we've been through.. I'm free...

  58. d.... c....

    I love this song! I share!

  59. E.... S....

    I THINK YOU \Z MAZINGGGG xxxx

  60. l.... k....

    the most honest song ever

  61. R.... N....

    Used to hate this song, but due to new life circumstances I love it!!

    R.... N....

    @Rebekah Newsom Change in life circumstances? You recovered from mental illness! You'd have to be a nutcase, or void of real emotion to not love this song.

  62. a.... t....

    let me out....

  63. J.... L....

    Been awhile since I listened to this and Damien's music, and I couldn't be happier to rekindle my relationship with the music. I adore this song and its raw emotion.

    J.... L....

    well, he has a new album coming out so even better, we'll have an entirely new thing to experience and i literally can't wait.

  64. d.... d....

    Finally, an artist who actually understands that songs are poetry

    d.... d....

    not sure if he is the first to have that epiphany??
     

    d.... d....

    @AstralTweeks really?

    d.... d....

    it was sarcasm friend

    d.... d....

    @AstralTweeks Agreed, but it's undeniable that Damien Rice is a goddamn motherfuckin' poet of the _highest_ order.

    d.... d....

    Oh no doubt, a superb musician an one of my favourites. I just think the initial comment was ignorant to so many other musicians that put such amazing poetry in song. 

  65. E.... T....

    I've just done a cover of this beautiful song, and I would be honored if you could just take a look and let me know what you think

  66. N.... R....

    Fuck you!

  67. s.... r....

    Good song except for the "F*** YOU!!!"

    s.... r....

    In my opinion F*** you is the best part of this song

    s.... r....

    @Yongseung Yoo It is but I can't listen to it around my parents or siblings.

    s.... r....

    @sam ruane Lol yeah I think their future would be ruined FOREVER if they'd hear the f-word, oh my.

    s.... r....

    the fuck yous make it!!!!!

  68. M.... S....

    the music is so similar to devil's tears by angus and julia stone

    M.... S....

    The other way around. The devil's tears by angus and julia stone is similar to this song.

  69. �.... ....

    노래를 어떻게 이렇게 부르지...

  70. l.... ....

    Yes, he does say "love you" around 3:10 , and true, the greatest "fuck you" we're gonna listen (probably), so let's wait for a new song... :)

  71. e.... m....

    then hate me so good that you can let me out of this hell when you re around <33

    e.... m....

    @emmygiakiss m fucking hell yes! That one person who just hurts you, wouldn't it be easier if they just hated you enough to leave you alone instead of keeping you stuck in fucking eternal torment... oh .. youtube comments haha

  72. D.... ....

    lol damian ryż, co za gupie imie...

  73. D.... ....

    Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you ♥

  74. l.... h....

    good one!!!<3

  75. d.... ....

    And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, then hate me so good that you can let me out, let me out, let me out...

  76. m.... a....

    Awesome Song!!!

  77. A.... ....

    Yea, I'm getting over it...right about now :)

  78. j.... t....

    Oh Damien, you are a wonderful songwriter.

  79. L.... D....

    Learn to let go...
    It tells everything I couln't say.
    Beautiful song<3

  80. L.... M....

    what I want from this, is learn to let go. No not of you, of all that's been told...

  81. d.... ....

    this makes me feel so much better.

  82. E.... D....

    Protip: This song sounds extra good on headphones.

  83. s.... m....

    he's a freaking genius *-*

  84. T.... ....

    The abbey road version they did makes so much more sence. This song is bitter and sad, but in this video its almost jolly which does not fit the lyrics at all.

  85. B.... B....

    no problem glad i can help :P

  86. 0.... ....

    I did, actually, get over all of that. Some songs come around out of nowhere to help you in the scariest times of your life. Thank you for the advice, it's a bit belated, but thank you all the same.

  87. B.... B....

    Get over it.

  88. e.... w....

    So proud of being Irish, Damien is so talented <3

  89. G.... P....

    Chills. I have 'em.

  90. M.... ....

    "So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
    And all we've been through"
    So many years that I have been listening to this song.. Still same emotions. Damien is just perfect!

  91. F.... D....

    yes, he does ;)

  92. d.... ....

    he does say "love you" during the last bit, around 3:12.

  93. �.... �....

    there's nothing Like this song...
    and this version is hands down the best

  94. J.... ....

    Yeah same here.

  95. R.... D....

    FUCK You

  96. C.... ....

    oh mein gott, einfach nur geil :)

  97. Z.... ....

    love this song... but it could do without all the swearing. thats just my opinion.

  98. r.... ....

    Let me out, let me out, let me out...
