About This Track

'Rope' by Miguel is a 2023 song in which the lyrics move from love withheld and memory gone to a precarious, self-destructive fixation, with the singer insisting they are “hanging onto nothing”. The verse frames intimacy as something they cannot fully recall, then shifts to helplessness, before the chorus returns to the image of being suspended and trapped, with further lines suggesting suffocation and a narrowing sense of space.

"Rope" is a track by Miguel, released 31st May 2023. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Miguel.

Lyrics

Rope

[Verse 1]

All of your love

I can’t recall

At all

There’s a hole in my head

That seemed so small

Not anymore

And all of our love

Won’t save me now

[Chorus]

I’m hanging onto nothing

I’m hanging from the ceiling

Rope around my neck

I’m hanging onto something

The walls are closing in

This rope around my neck

This rope around my neck

[Verse 2]

All of your love

I can’t recall

Not at all

There’s a hole in my head

That seemed so small

Not anymore

And all of our love

It still can't save me now

[Chorus]

I’m hanging onto nothing

I’m hanging from the ceiling

Rope around my neck

I’m hanging onto something

The walls are closing in

This rope around my neck

This rope around my neck

[Verse 3]

I know I’m gonna be okay

A little help from my friends

On the edge of infinity, yeah

And I think it’s gonna be alright

But I guess it all depends

But I guess it all depends

I think it’s gonna be alright
