    Welcome to the forums.

    I have never met this. What is the full context for it?

    If you are Dutch, then you should understand it.

    Hi Susiedgqq,
    here goes the song:

    "If you're the only one
    Will I ever be enough?
    Hail hail the lucky ones
    I refer to those in love

    Swore I'd love till the day I die
    And beyond
    Are we going to the same place?
    If so, can I come?
    It's egg rolling thick and heavy
    The past we carry
    I could be new
    You underestimate me"

    Hi Banderas,
    Thanks for your response
    Indeed, that’s the song! But I have to say that I never heard the expression in Dutch either (maybe because I’m not Dutch but Flemish).
    But could it mean ‘ it has become a burden, or a boring routine’? Or am I on the wrong track?

    Groetjes

    It could mean anything. We should ask Pearl Jam. But seriously, the lyrics is about two people in a relationship struggling to hold it together. My interpretation of "It's egg rolling thick and heavy" is:
    it (our relationship) is very difficult because "she" expects too much from "him". Your guess is right then: it is a burden, indeed!
    Regards
