Roses and Thorns
Love's Duality: Roses Bloom, Thorns Pierce
Lyrics
There are the roses and there are the thorns
There are positive and negative aspects in life, represented by roses and thorns.
There's a time for happiness and there's a time to mourn
Life has moments of joy (happiness) and moments of sorrow (time to mourn).
There's a time to love then when love is faded and worn
Love has its time, but it can fade and wear over time.
Oh oh instead of the roses there are the thorns
Instead of experiencing the positive (roses), there are challenges and difficulties (thorns).
Once there was spring and the flowers were gentle and sweet
There was a time of renewal and sweetness (spring) in the past.
I inhaled the goodness of love and my life was complete
Experiencing the goodness of love made life feel complete.
I reached for a rose and its petals were crushed by my touch
Attempting to embrace love (rose) resulted in damage and disappointment.
Oh oh I love too hard and the thorns are now hurtin' too much
Loving intensely has led to pain, represented by thorns.
Winter comes on with no mercy for those unpreapared
Winter symbolizes harsh and unforgiving times for the unprepared.
Coldness creaps in on a heart that a dead love needs bared
Coldness affects a heart that has experienced the death of love.
Loving too much leaves a wreckage like that of a storm
Excessive love leaves destruction akin to a storm.
Yes it does instead of the roses now I am holding the thorns
Instead of the positive experiences of love, there is now pain and hardship (thorns).
Roses and thorns so close together they grow
Roses (positives) and thorns (negatives) coexist closely in life.
Fladness and sadness emotiones that everyone knows
Feelings of happiness and sadness are universal emotions.
When there is one the other can't be far behind oh no
Where there is one (roses), the other (thorns) is often not far behind.
I've held the rose and the stem with the thorns is now mine
The positive and negative aspects are intertwined, and now the speaker is experiencing the negative (thorns).
Roses and thorns so close together...
Reiteration of the idea that roses and thorns coexist closely.
