Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black, black roses in my garden
To keep and care it you got to water it
To keep and care it you got to water it
I've been travelin' all over this world
I've never seen no other black rose in no other garden
So you see my garden is so special
Black, black roses in my garden
Black, black roses in my garden
Black, black roses in my garden
Black, black roses in my garden
To keep and care it you got to water it
Got to keep the earth so cool
'Cause something special is in my garden
Black, black roses in my garden hey eh
Black, black roses in my garden
Black, black roses in my garden
Black, black roses in my garden
Sure you got to water it, water it
You got to do the best you can do
'Cause no other garden is so special like this
Black roses is in my garden
Black, black roses I've got to water it
My garden is so nice oh hey oh hey
Something special special in my garden
Black, black roses in my garden
Sure, sure, sure I've got to stay
And take good care of the roses
Go to see, go to see that's so special to me
My garden, my garden is so special yeah
Black, black roses is blooming in my garden
The lyrics of Levy Barrington's "Black Roses" describe the singer's special garden, which is home to black roses. The garden is so special because the singer has never seen black roses in any other garden that he has visited throughout his travels. To keep the roses alive and blooming, he must water them and keep the earth cool. The song suggests that there is something very special about these black roses, and it's evident that the singer values them deeply.
However, the real meaning behind the black roses is ambiguous. Some interpret the black roses as symbolizing death, sadness, or loss which tie into the lyrics "Got to keep the earth so cool" as well as "Sure, sure, sure I've got to stay and take good care of the roses". In the context of death, the roses may represent mourning or a tribute to a lost loved one, with the singer taking care of them in honor of their memory. Meanwhile, some people consider black roses as a symbol of rebellion, transformation or strength, which is backed up by the lyrics "something special is in my garden." Whatever the meaning, the black roses in the singer's garden are clearly of great value, and he is passionate about taking care of them.
Overall, Levy Barrington's "Black Roses" is a beautiful song about a unique and rare thing that the singer has managed to cultivate, and the hard work and care it takes to keep it safe and alive. The song suggests that these black roses are very special to him, and it evokes a sense of wonder and amazement that something so impossibly beautiful can exist in his garden.
