Finn. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One upstart casts a spell
I canโฒt use this heart of roses
It swells
I won't misuse my part
Because it upswings my heart
I canโฒt use this heart of roses
It's true you should know this
You will never feel like these roses did
And you can't even spare me
Because I will never feel like these roses did
These lyrics from Finn.'s song HEARTS OF ROSES speak about a heart that is like a rose, delicate yet beautiful. The singer says that there is someone who has cast a spell, causing them to be unable to use their heart of roses, which swells with emotion. The singer then goes on to say that they will not misuse this part of themselves because it uplifts their heart. However, the singer seems to be insinuating that someone else cannot understand or appreciate the beauty of their heart of roses. The final lines express this sentiment, as the singer says that no one can ever feel like the roses did, and that no one can even spare them from this feeling because they will never feel the same way.
Overall, the lyrics of HEARTS OF ROSES seem to be about the fragility of emotion, and how it is difficult to fully understand the emotions of others. The metaphor of the heart as a rose adds to the delicate nature of the lyrics, which are both heartfelt and contemplative.

I know as well
I am aware of the situation
One upstart casts a spell
Someone has put a spell on me
I can't use this heart of roses
I cannot let this heart be used easily
It swells
It is filled with emotion
I won't misuse my part
I won't take advantage of the situation
Because it upswings my heart
Because it makes my heart happy
It's true you should know this
It is true and important that you understand
You will never feel like these roses did
You will never experience the same feelings as I have
And you can't even spare me
And you can't even sympathize with me
Because I will never feel like these roses did
Because I will never experience the same feelings as I have
