Black Rose
Embracing Broken Petals: Softspoken's Black Rose Meaning
Lyrics
He sits under his tree
Seeking solace or introspection beneath a personal symbolic tree.
A place reserved just for three
The tree is a space for the person's heart, mind, and body.
His heart, his mind and body
Expressing a sense of vulnerability, with one aspect feeling weak.
All but one is feeling weak
Alluding to a struggle or hardship affecting all but one aspect.
Dear old tree sing to me
Requesting a connection with the tree through its symbolism.
I'm dropping just like your leaves
Comparing personal descent with the falling leaves of the tree.
If I could fly the world unlocking every broken heart
Expressing a desire to heal broken hearts globally if given the ability to fly.
I would - save a rose that's misunderstood
Emphasizing the intention to save misunderstood individuals symbolized by a rose.
If I could fly I would, giving praise for all the roots that withstood
Extending gratitude for enduring strength and resilience symbolized by roots.
My promise to the world
Commitment to a promise made to the world.
Runaway devotion
Describing a departure or distancing from devotion.
I tried my best to be
Striving to be faithful or dedicated, but facing challenges.
These petals rot like me
Comparing the decay of petals to a personal decline or struggle.
Roses prick but that's emotion
Recognizing the pain of emotions, using the metaphor of rose prickles.
He sings for help, but no one listens
Expressing a plea for help that goes unheard.
He reads the books, but still can't find the meaning
Highlighting a struggle to find meaning despite seeking knowledge.
Lay under my tree and maybe I'll just fall asleep
Suggesting a desire for escape or rest under the symbolic tree.
Deep sleep. Fall asleep
Emphasizing a wish for a deep and meaningful sleep.
If I could fly the world unlocking every broken heart
Reiteration of the desire to heal broken hearts on a global scale.
I would - save a rose that's misunderstood
Reaffirming the commitment to save misunderstood individuals symbolized by a rose.
If I could fly I would, giving praise for all the roots that withstood
Expressing gratitude for the resilience symbolized by roots.
My promise to the world
Reiteration of the commitment made to the world.
