Roses
Love's Decay: A Melancholic Symphony by Chandler Owens
Lyrics
Hold on, turn that up a little bit
Expressing a desire to increase the volume of the music.
Roses are red
Repetition of "Roses are red" suggests a consistent theme or emotion.
Roses are red
-Roses are red
-Yeah
Confirmation or agreement with the previous lines.
Okay
Acknowledging the situation or setting the tone for the upcoming lines.
Roses are red
Describing a romantic relationship with a sense of regret and longing.
Violets are blue
-I wish I was dead
-Locked in a tomb
-Roses are red
-My face is blue
-I should have never
-Held my breath for you
-Your love was real
-It was a drug to me
-But now I feel I'm
-Running on empty
-Roses are red
-Violets are blue
-I think it's safe to say
-I'm never getting over you
-Don't know why I'm falling
Expressing emotional turmoil, a desire for self-harm, and a feeling of isolation.
Falling so far
-I try to push myself
-Over the bar
-I try to talk to you
-But I don't make a sound
-That's why I wish I was
-Six feet under the ground
-Roses are red
Continuation of the theme of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on.
Violets are blue
-I wish I was dead
-Locked in a tomb
-Roses are red
-My face is blue
-I should have never
-Held my breath for you
-Your love was real
-It was a drug to me
-But now I feel I'm
-Running on empty
-Roses are red
-Violets are blue
-I think it's safe to say
-I'm never getting over you
-Try and try and try
Conveying efforts to cope with heartbreak, acknowledging the pain, and expressing acceptance.
Oh, I try
-Try to think of you
-And not cry
-I know I'll never
-Be your guy
-I don't have to even
-Wonder why
-All you do is
-Push me away
-But don't worry
-It's all okay
-I know that there will
-Come a day
-But for now
-This is all I'll say
-Roses are red
Reiteration of the persistent emotional struggle and the impossibility of overcoming the past love.
Violets are blue
-I wish I was dead
-Locked in a tomb
-Roses are red
-My face is blue
-I should have never
-Held my breath for you
-Your love was real
-It was a drug to me
-But now I feel I'm
-Running on empty
-Roses are red
-Violets are blue
-I think it's safe to say
-I'm never getting over you
-Roses are red
Repeating the theme of longing, regret, and the enduring impact of a past relationship.
Violets are blue
-I wish I was dead
-Locked in a tomb
-Roses are red
-My face is blue
-I should have never
-Held my breath for you
-Your love was real
-It was a drug to me
-But now I feel I'm
-Running on empty
-Roses are red
-Violets are blue
-I think it's safe to say
-I'm never getting over you
