Black Rose
Eleventeen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't think I've found the one I'm looking for
So have my roses faded black
I caught them on my eyes I'm blinded by this misery
So stay away
Just get away
Don't ask me questions you already know the answers to
Will you wear me and make me happy
Will you wear me and show me off to your friends
I've seen it come around
I know it goes around it will get you in the end
And I burned the mattress we laid upon so long ago
I'm not like that anymore
So stay away just get away
The lyrics in Eleventeen's song "Black Rose" delve into the painful emotions one experiences after heartbreak. The opening lines, "I've seen questions form a million answers and I don't think I've found the one I'm looking for," suggest the confusion and frustration that arises after a breakup. The singer of the song is searching for some meaning to the end of their relationship, but the answers they find are unsatisfactory.
The chorus, "So stay away, just get away, don't ask me questions you already know the answers to, I'm not fine, I'm not okay," conveys the singer's desire to be left alone with their pain. The repeated phrase "just get away" emphasizes their need to distance themselves from the past relationship and move forward.
Later, the lyrics take a more hopeful turn, with the lines "Will you wear me and make me happy, will you wear me and show me off to your friends." Here, the singer expresses a longing for a new love who can make them happy and bring them validation. However, these aspirations are tempered by the recognition that pain is a natural part of life, suggested by the line "I've seen it come around, I know it goes around, it will get you in the end."
Overall, "Black Rose" is a poignant song about the many emotional ups and downs of love and heartbreak. Its lyrics are raw and honest, reflecting the complex mixed feelings that come with the end of a relationship.
