Roses
Atlas. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

North coast swells
I feel it when the cold comes in
Run red deer
They'll need you when they hunt your skin

Evening came
To the corners of my mind again
Cold and clean
A ringing on an open plain

Pale sun rose
A shimmer on the dusty morn'
Wheel will turn
Spinning and my past will burn

But it seems so long, my friend




My memory is all but gone
Back to my whispering mind

Overall Meaning

In Atlas.'s song "roses," the singer paints a picture of the North coast, where the swells can be felt and the deer run free. The ambiguity of these opening lines could be interpreted as a metaphor for change and the unrelenting force of nature. As the song progresses, the imagery shifts to the evening in the singer's mind. The singer is haunted by his past; he feels the cold and clean ringing on the open plain of his memories.


Line by Line Meaning

North coast swells
I can sense the waves growing stronger on the northern shore


I feel it when the cold comes in
The drop in temperature sends a shiver down my spine


Run red deer
Beware, hunters are on the hunt for your valuable hide


They'll need you when they hunt your skin
Your worth as prey increases when your skin is sought after


Evening came
The nightfall crept up on me once again


To the corners of my mind again
Thoughts and memories resurface, occupying my every thought


Cold and clean
A sense of purity and clarity accompanies the chill in the air


A ringing on an open plain
The sound of a bell echoes across the wide and vast expanse of land


Pale sun rose
A faint, muted sunlight emerged on the horizon


A shimmer on the dusty morn'
The early morning sunlight glimmers on the dust particles in the air


Wheel will turn
Time continues to move forward, changing the course of one's life


Spinning and my past will burn
As time progresses, past memories and experiences become less significant


But it seems so long, my friend
It feels like an eternity has passed, my closest confidant


My memory is all but gone
My recollection of events has faded almost entirely


Back to my whispering mind
Returning to the internal voice that constantly whispers doubts and fears
