Black Roses
Ayin Aleph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the wind is coldly blind.
My lips have become red
When your hands searched for my mind.
Where's the kindom of love?
Who is the sources of my lies?
Is my future written far above?
My fate is another gate, another liar.
You wait another maid for my desire.
I'm melting all the mirrors
With the strength of my gloomy errors.
My old kiss changes in wine,
When I start to flow your time.
Where's the kindom of love?
Who is the sources of my lies?
Is my future written far above?
Who is the devil in your eyes?
Now I smile inside you, find me?
How do you want to keep me, sensually?
The lyrics of Ayin Aleph's song "Black Roses" convey a sense of darkness, mystery and confusion. The imagery of black roses on the bed in the opening line suggests death, mourning and negativity. The next line talks about the cold wind, which can also represent emptiness and isolation. The singer's lips have turned red, which can signify passion or danger, but it's unclear whether this is a positive or negative development. The line about hands searching for the mind hints at a struggle for control or understanding within a romantic relationship.
The following lines ask questions about the nature of love, deception, fate and the singer's perception of reality. The kingdom of love is an idealized version of love that may not exist in reality. The source of lies is also unclear and may refer to either the singer or their partner. The mention of fate suggests that the future is predetermined and beyond our control, but it's uncertain whether the singer believes in that or not. The devil in the partner's eyes could represent evil, temptation or simply a lack of trust.
The next stanza introduces the concept of the singer's fate being tied to another person or situation, possibly a lover or a metaphorical gate. The repetition of "another" creates a sense of confusion and isolation. The line about "another maid for my desire" is ambiguous and may refer to the singer's own desires or the desires of someone else. The imagery of melting mirrors suggests a distorted sense of self and the need to break free from a previous version of oneself. The change from an old kiss to wine can again represent transformation or hidden intentions.
The final chorus repeats the questions about love and deception, adding a new layer of ambiguity with the line "now I smile inside you, find me?" It's unclear whether the singer is joyful or manipulative, and whether they want to be found or remain hidden. The final line about sensuality adds an erotic element to the confusion and leaves the listener with more questions than answers.
