Lyrics
Country boy looks like a rose
Reflection on a rustic individual resembling a rose
Still remembers when it snowed
Nostalgic recollection of a past snowy memory
Looking down the tower wall
Gazing at a tower wall with contemplation
Never mattered much at all
Indicating insignificance of the tower wall
And the lady he has loved
Expression of love for a lady
Dear old friends he's thinking of
Thoughts about dear old friends
All went bouncing around the bend
Friends going astray or losing sanity
When the nobles lost their heads
Referring to the historical event of nobles losing their heads
Cause all you know
Emphasizing limited knowledge available on videotape
Is on videotape
Highlighting reliance on recorded media
But your CCTV is never gonna catch me
Asserting avoidance of surveillance capture
Cause all you know
Reiterating the theme of limited knowledge
Is you'll always be alone
Expressing a sense of perpetual loneliness
On the day they light the flame
Depicting a significant day with the lighting of a flame
Burn their farms and break the chains
Symbolic actions of rebellion against oppression
Then Queen Mary comes along
Introduction of Queen Mary, possibly questioned or feared
Terrified she could be wrong
Queen Mary's apprehension about being wrong
Why're they all in such a rush
Curiosity about the urgency of actions
It'll crumble when it must
Prediction of the inevitable collapse
Climbing up the tower wall
Revisiting the tower wall with renewed perspective
Never mattered much at all
Reiteration of the insignificance of the tower wall
Cause all you know
Repeating the theme of limited knowledge on videotape
Is on videotape
Emphasizing reliance on recorded media surveillance
But your CCTV is never gonna catch me
Asserting avoidance of surveillance capture, again
Cause all you know
Reiterating the theme of perpetual loneliness
Is you'll always be alone
Final affirmation of enduring solitude
