The Dogma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deep inside there's something wrong
Can you help me to get out this place
Black roses on my grave
Let my spirit cross the edge of time
Through her eyes I lose my heart
Fragments of the past they're never gone
There's nothing that is wrong
Maybe just another crown of thorns
Place black roses on my grave
Let my spirit cross the edge of time
Crown of thorns on your soul
Makes you bleed, makes your dreams flow
Through the night of your memories
Shades of gray break the silence
Hard to say goodbye leave all behind
All my foes and my lovers
How can I be strong never grow old
My time has come
The lyrics to The Dogma's song Black Roses seem to be about being lost and feeling trapped, looking for a way to escape from the emptiness and pain they are feeling inside. The singer in the song is asking for help to get out of the place they're in, suggesting that they may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or even suicidal thoughts. The black roses on their grave symbolize the end of their life, and they are asking for their spirit to be allowed to cross over to the other side.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about a woman who is able to draw them out of the darkness, and through her eyes, they lose their heart. It's unclear whether this woman is real or a metaphor for something else, but it seems like she represents hope and love in their life. They also reflect on the past and how it never truly goes away, but perhaps the black roses can provide some closure and help to move on.

Standing here I'm all alone
I am alone and need help
Deep inside there's something wrong
I am struggling internally
Can you help me to get out this place
I need your help to escape my struggles
Black roses on my grave
I want black roses on my grave when I die
Let my spirit cross the edge of time
I want to transcend death and time
Now she moves out of the dark
She is emerging from darkness
Through her eyes I lose my heart
I am deeply affected by her gaze
Fragments of the past they're never gone
The past still lingers and affects me
There's nothing that is wrong
Maybe I am mistaken about what is wrong
Maybe just another crown of thorns
Perhaps my troubles are just another obstacle
Crown of thorns on your soul
Your troubles are weighing on you heavily
Makes you bleed, makes your dreams flow
Your troubles are affecting you physically and emotionally
Through the night of your memories
Your memories haunt you at night
Shades of gray break the silence
Your thoughts are neither black nor white, but ambiguous
Hard to say goodbye leave all behind
It is difficult to let go of the past
All my foes and my lovers
All those who have hurt or loved me
How can I be strong never grow old
I need strength to face the future and never age
My time has come
It is time for me to face what lies ahead

Супер! Я словно растворяюсь в песне. Влюбилась в творчество группы с песни "Queen of the damned". Гитара и вокал просто великолепны!

Siete più conosciuti all'estero che nelle Marche e in Italia! Come al solito ci dobbiamo distinguere :(. Io sono più per il Black ma sono contento che una band metal marchigiana registri così tanto successo. Continuate così!
