Discover the story of the song > Rose Live – A Perfect Circle

The lyrics are about a person who is being told not to disturb a temperamental goat and a snail while they are eating a rose. The person is frozen and compromising what they want, but they are also bending with the wind. They feel like they are being thrown around and are treading lightly, compromising their own desires. They decide that they will no longer lay down and let others control them. They will stand up for themselves and be strong. They will no longer be scared and will roar loudly. They will be who they are and do what they want.
