1) The Wou… Read Full Bio ↴There are two bands operating under the name The Wounded:
1) The Wounded is a Dutch wave-rock band, hailing from the province of Drenthe, in the north of The Netherlands. They play intense and melancholy rock.
In 2000 The Wounded released their debut called The Art of Grief. It was followed in March 2002 by their second album titled Monument. Shortly after the release of this album The Wounded changed their line-up. The only two original members, bassplayer Andy Haandrikman and singer-guitarist Marco van der Velde, searched for new musicians. After auditioning several musicians, they found a new drummer, lead-guitarplayer and synth-player : Alwin Schnoing, Sander Wessels and Eduard Dresscher. The Monument album was promoted with a high number of performances with which the band played in most parts of The Netherlands. They also played very successful gigs in other countries as Belgium and Germany. In the beginning of 2003 The Wounded started to work on their new album Atlantic. After working hard for almost a year The Wounded released their third album early 2004 on Coldblood Industries' sub-label Ebony Tears.
On Atlantic the band sounds more mature than ever before, even though the music on the album is more comprehensive. The experimental parts of old Pink Floyd mixed with the atmosphere of Anathema, Marillion, The Cure, Fields of the Nephilim and other influences like Sigur Rós and Placebo. The band succeeds in giving all these influences their own typical sound, which causes Atlantic to sound modern and refreshing, but also very close and familiar. It got great reviews form national and international press and the band supported it by a great number of shows, festivals as well as club gigs, in The Netherlands and abroad.

Your roses will burn
The Wounded Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've walked with sunrise consumers,
Destroyers of beautiful dreams.
A rose selling class,.. banishes,
Breed fear amongst the frail.
Burning,.. the flames will burn your altitude.
They murder pride for money and even souls for more,
I regret...
Souls being stabbed with my knifes of a kind not yet banished.
Invisible, yet not invincible.
Still awake I was put to sleep.
Greenhouse salesmen made my heart weep deep,
And made of me an evil angel who eats your frailty for greed.
When revolutions are calling, you'll be the first ones hanging.
Yet awoken I bring flames upon you in your nightmares.
Upon you a storm for you and your kind.
Fuck you, and your kin,
For they are also damned by blindness.
Fuck you, and your class,
Seek for thyself another life for we are eating it.
We'll eat it away.
The lyrics of The Wounded's song Your roses will burn tell the story of someone who acknowledges their sins and regrets the harm they have caused to others. The singer admits to walking with "sunrise consumers" or people who destroy dreams for their own gain. They speak of a class of people who sell roses but also instill fear among the weak and frail. The flames that burn will consume those who prioritize money over pride and even souls. The singer regrets being a part of this system and stabbing souls with their "knifes of a kind not yet banished". They were made an "evil angel who eats your frailty for greed" by greenhouse salesmen who made their heart weep. However, they end the song with a message of rebellion and anger towards the oppressor, promising to bring flames upon them in their nightmares and eat away their life.
