The rose
手嶌葵 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose
These lyrics reveal different perspectives about love. The first two lines present contradictory views: while some people think love is a powerful force that can overwhelm you, others believe love is a destructive force that can harm you. The next two lines express another perspective: seeing love as a deep longing that never ends. However, the singer presents their opinion which is that love is like a flower that starts with a seed, hinting at the idea that true love takes time to grow and blossom.
The following lines explain that people can be afraid of love because they fear getting hurt, or that a beautiful dream might end up being shattered. This fear can prevent people from taking chances and experiencing the joy of love. The last lines suggest that love is something that lies dormant inside us, waiting for the right conditions to awaken, just like a rose seed. The singer wants to remind listeners that love can flourish even in the darkest and coldest of times.
In summary, the lyrics of The Rose express that love can be seen in different ways, but it is ultimately a beautiful and fragile thing that takes courage and patience to grow.

Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower, and you, its only seed
Its the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance
Its the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance
Its the one who won't be taking, who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose
