The Rose In Black



"The Rose in Black" is about the depressingness of now. See, this song came to me in a dream, the night after a day of feeling particularly bummed out. It's, essentially, a song about how depressing it is to live in this world, and how it kills your soul.

I can tell that some of the lyrics are heavily influenced by Mike Shinoda. I've been listening to his album, Post Traumatic a lot.

This is last week's song if you turn it around backwards.

Here're the lyrics:

I can't be here anymore / there's no place for me
This is not my world / it's not where I want to be

I used to dream the rose in black; it's coming back, it's coming back

Eternal burning eyes / look so far away
In the burnt sunrise / It is where I guess I'll stay
In the dawning of the day / that never ends
The clouds are gray / and you can't go home again

I used to dream the rose in black; it's coming back, it's coming back

John Trudell, he said it well, when he said this world is fucked
It eats your soul and it spits it out / and it's trampled in the muck
I said it long time ago / singing in my purple cave
What do you do when you have no clue / and there's no soul left to save

I can't be here anymore / there's no place for me
This is not my world / it's not where I want to be

I used to dream the rose in black; it's coming back, it's coming back
