Roses
RPWL feat. Ray Wilson Lyrics

If the world is one big plan
If everything happens for a reason, then why do we lose our purity?

Why must we lose our innocence
Why do we have to lose our naivety as we grow up?

Why have we lost our paradise?
Why have we lost the perfect world we once believed in?

Paralysed. nothing to give
Feeling helpless and empty, with nothing to offer others.

The chestnut vender in the rain
Remembering a vendor selling chestnuts in the rain as a symbol of the past.

Haven't seen him since I moved away
Reflecting on how much things have changed since leaving that place.

Please tell me what I'm doing here
Questioning the purpose of being in a new environment with unfamiliar people.

These strangers do not speak to me
Feeling like an outsider and disconnected from the community.

All the things I tried to do
Thinking about past efforts and endeavors.

I never thought it was too late
Believing that it's never too late to try and make a positive change.

So in this silence say a prayer
Taking a moment to silently send out positive thoughts.

For the one who went away
Dedicating those thoughts to someone who is no longer there.

Roses, are covering your face
Roses as a symbol of death or mourning, obscuring the person's face.

And with my mind I'm calling out for you
Trying to connect with the person who is no longer there, possibly in a spiritual sense.

But all that's left are
But reality is that all that's left is just the symbol of mourning in the form of roses.

Roses, covering your face
Continuing to describe the symbol of mourning.

But you cannot hear me
Realizing that the connection with the departed is one-sided, and they cannot communicate back.

The rising spirit of the new
Describing the optimistic and uplifting attitude of those embracing change.

I can look through the windows of their minds
Feeling like it is possible to understand their perspective.

Why should we care about the means
Asking why we should worry about how things happen, as long as we reach our desired outcome.

Our last goal is to reach the end
The ultimate objective is to achieve our final goal, even if challenges arise along the way.

You said don't tell me we can take our time
Remembering someone who warned against procrastination and taking things too slowly.

So I hope that we will meet again
Expressing optimism and a desire for reunion in the future.

Sheltered in your faith you made me understand
Feeling like faith and belief in a higher power provided a sense of safety and understanding.

But now what's left is hidden under
But now, there is something lost or hidden under the surface that cannot be accessed.
