Roses
Glass Face Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I die, and the breeze hands calm
Bury me at the break of dawn
Leave no marking, no any name
Just a place of comfort, for my tender fate
When I die

For my time here was short
And the years may be tough
I'm in a quieter place
Buried deep in the dark
Please don't grieve when my time has come
From made mistake, and I am one

When I die
Bury me with roses
When I die
Bury me with roses

So I can give them to the ones I left behind
When I meet them again in another life

When I die
Bury me with roses
When I die
Bury me with roses
When I die
Bury me with roses




When I die
Bury me with roses

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Glass Face's song "Roses" are a poignant and reflective meditation on mortality and the impermanence of life. The opening lines, "When I die, and the breeze hands calm/Bury me at the break of dawn," suggest a desire for a peaceful and quiet end to life. There is a sense of resignation and acceptance here that is carried forward in the following lines: "Leave no marking, no any name/Just a place of comfort, for my tender fate." The singer does not seem concerned with leaving a lasting legacy or being remembered in any particular way; rather, their focus is on finding peace and comfort in the afterlife.


The repeated refrain of "When I die/Bury me with roses" underscores the sense of peace and closure that the singer seeks in death. Roses are often associated with love and beauty, but in this context, they appear to be a symbol of the singer's desire to bring a sense of grace and beauty to their passing. The final lines, "So I can give them to the ones I left behind/When I meet them again in another life," suggest a hope for reunion or continuity beyond death. The sentiment here is one of love, connection, and ultimately, acceptance of the cycles of life and death.


Overall, "Roses" is a contemplative and beautiful song that invites the listener to reflect on their own mortality and the ways in which we might seek comfort and peace in the face of impermanence.

When I die, and the breeze hands calm
When my life comes to an end and all is peaceful


Bury me at the break of dawn
Lay me to rest at the beginning of a new day


Leave no marking, no any name
Just let me be without any identification or label

A simple resting place that brings me comfort

When I die, and the breeze has come
Bury me at the break of dawn
Leave no markings, nor any name
Just a place of comfort, for my tender fate

When I die
Bury me with roses
When I die
Bury me with roses

When I die (x3)
Bury me with roses
So I can give them to the ones I left behind
When I meet them again in another life

For my time here was short
And the years may be tough
I'm in a quieter place
Buried deep in the dark
Please don't grieve when my time has come
For all men must die, and I am one

"Open your eyes"
When I die
"Listen"

When I die
Bury me with roses
So I can give them to the ones I left behind .

Lyrics:
((Listen))
((Open your eyes))
When I die
And the breeze has come
Bury me
At the break of dawn
Leave no markings,
Nor any name
(Just a place of comfort
For my tender fate)
When I die, bury me with roses
When I die, bury me with roses
When I die
When I die.
When I die, bury me with roses
So can give them
To the ones I left behind
When I meet them again in another life.
Though my time here was short
And the years may be tough
I’m in a quieter place...
Buried deep in the dust.
Please don’t grieve
When my time has come.
For all men must die
(And I am one...)
((Open your eyes))
When I die
((Listen))
When I die
Bury me with roses
So I can give them
To the ones I left behind.

I'm so grateful to have been born in an era where you can find such a large variety of different music all in one place -- this channel being one of those beautiful places.

Getting lots of "Daughter" vibes from this! The lyrics, instrumental, and even the album art.

@Mackenzie Gahagan Daughter got me through some of the worst parts of my youth, lots of nostalgia listening to them

Mackenzie Gahagan

I used to be heavily into daughter and yes this is something from her vibes. It's very nice.

Even the art was from one of Daughter's songs on Youtube called Smother. Though, I believe it was not their original cover art

Michel Chaman

I had my eyes closed when this song played and all i heard was "open your eyes" It snapped me up.
