Borealis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you say you're not ready yet
Your words like knives inside of me
I'm not the one you want me to be
But where's this one to save the day
Tonight you're mine i think you'll stay
But only for the present time
Those words you spoke so long ago
Have stayed with me so deep so low
Your lips, your smile, your eyes, your face
Why must you take me to this place
Black Rose your words have haunted me
And now it's time to set me free
Time it seems to go so slow
This night, your end refuses to go
Your tears cut deeper than your words
It must end now before it's worse
Darkness floods my raging mind
I try to see straight but I'm blind
This end, so cruel i'm sorry for
I leave you silent on the floor
The lyrics to Borealis's song "Black Rose" convey the feelings of a protagonist who is stuck in a toxic and unhealthy relationship. The song starts by setting a dark and foreboding atmosphere, where the night grows dark and the scene is set for something ominous to happen. However, the singer's partner claims that they are not ready to leave the relationship yet, causing confusion and frustration.
The singer feels deeply affected by their partner's words, describing them as knives that pierce into their being. They express a sense of inadequacy, feeling that they are not the person their partner wants them to be. Despite this, there is a glimmer of hope as the singer believes their partner will stay with them for the time being, but only in the present moment.
The lyrics further delve into the impact of past words and memories, describing how those words spoken long ago have stayed with them, deeply affecting them emotionally. The partner's physical features, such as their lips, smile, eyes, and face, have a strong hold on the singer, taking them to a dark and haunting place. The singer finally realizes that their partner's words have haunted them for too long, and it is time for them to break free from this toxic relationship.
In the second paragraph, the singer acknowledges the slow passing of time, as if the night and the end of the relationship are refusing to come. The partner's tears are portrayed as more hurtful than their words, indicating a pattern of emotional manipulation. The singer realizes that the situation must come to an end before it becomes even more damaging. They struggle with their own emotions, feeling a flood of darkness in their mind that makes it difficult for them to think clearly. Finally, the singer apologizes for the cruel ending they are about to initiate, leaving their partner silent and defeated on the floor.
Overall, "Black Rose" paints a vivid picture of a toxic relationship and the internal struggle of the singer to break free from it, acknowledging the pain caused by their partner's words and actions.

The night grows dark the scene is set
The atmosphere becomes intense and foreboding
But you say you're not ready yet
You express hesitance or resistance
Your words like knives inside of me
Your words have a deeply painful impact on me
I'm not the one you want me to be
I don't meet your expectations or desires
But where's this one to save the day
Who will come to rescue us?
Tonight you're mine i think you'll stay
This night, you belong to me and I hope you'll stay with me
Believe me when i say you're fine
Trust me when I tell you that you're okay
But only for the present time
But the reassurance is only temporary
Those words you spoke so long ago
The words you uttered in the past
Have stayed with me so deep so low
Have left a lasting and profound impact on me
Your lips, your smile, your eyes, your face
Your physical features that captivate me
Why must you take me to this place
Why do you lead me to this emotional state?
Black Rose your words have haunted me
Your words, like a black rose, have tormented me
And now it's time to set me free
And now it's time to release me from this torment
Time it seems to go so slow
Time feels like it is passing painfully slowly
This night, your end refuses to go
This night, the conclusion or resolution doesn't seem to arrive
Your tears cut deeper than your words
Your tears hurt me more than your spoken words
It must end now before it's worse
We need to put an end to this before it escalates further
Darkness floods my raging mind
My mind is overwhelmed by a flood of darkness and turmoil
I try to see straight but I'm blind
I make an effort to comprehend but I am unable to see clearly
This end, so cruel i'm sorry for
This conclusion is heartless and I apologize for it
I leave you silent on the floor
I leave you speechless and emotionally shattered on the ground
