Beneath The Rose
Micah P. Hinson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you cannot be found
Under rocks or broken skull
I will lay down
I can be found beneath the rose
Beneath the rose
Alone
That I'll never be found
Broken bones holding loose
You will be crowned
Queen of all you have found
You have found
Alone
The lyrics of Micah P. Hinson's song "Beneath The Rose" suggest that the singer understands the impossibility of completely hiding oneself away from the world or from others. The lines "It is said / That you cannot be found / Under rocks or broken skull" imply that even death cannot hide us completely from the world, as our remains will eventually be found. The repetition of the phrase "I can be found beneath the rose" suggests a resigned acceptance of one's own vulnerability, as if to say, "I am not hidden away from the world, but I am hidden in plain sight." The line "Safe to say / That I'll never be found" seems to offer a contradiction to this, but it is followed immediately by "You will be crowned / Queen of all you have found," which implies that while the singer may be difficult to find, the one who does find them will be the "queen" or ruler of that discovery.

As the ruler of everything you've encountered
You have found
All that you discovered

Can't get this out of my head, and i'm not even mad. It's so simple but so beautiful. It's the voice, but also the building intensity of the instruments, the universality of the lyrics.
