The rose
Tonies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We all know looks can be deceiving
A band was playing down at the Street Scene
They were singing a song when something went wrong
It was some kind of protest, some kind of rally
But a bomb exploded in the alley
Police are coming on the left and right
Smoke is clouding out the light
Running for our lives down on Main street
A bus pulls up. Yeah, we jump right in
Pretty soon, we can breathe again
Come to stop a few miles away
Finally see who saved the day
And she's singing a beautiful song
Grab a guitar and play along
We keep playing on until the dawn
With Broadway Rose
Don't you know what hate can do?
Turn up the heat until you blow a fuse
Give you a tip, try something new
Might find a good friend when you do
We've been out in the Redwood trees
Saying thank you, saying please
All the people living in peace
But when we get back to our town
Everybody's tearing each other down
People talk about all their wishes
Think they've got it a little bit twisted
But She, she's singing everyday
Makes our blues just melt away
The band is loud, the dancers sway
In our city by the bay
Its Broadway Rose and Omega Tones
It's Broadway Rose and Omega Tones
They'll shake your what?
Gonna shake your bones!
Don't you know what love can do?
It's good for me, it's good for you
Can lift you up from the hole you're in
Remind you how to smile again
Some people say that we're not right
Keep telling us they want to fight
So all our friends are stepping out
Stand in a line, don't have to shout
The bullies run as fast as they can
Wave at them with the back of our hands
People talk about all their wishes
Think they've got it a little bit twisted
But She, she's singing everyday
Makes our blues just melt away
The band is loud, the dancers sway
In our city by the bay
Its Broadway Rose and Omega Tones
It's Broadway Rose and Omega Tones
They'll shake your what?
Gonna shake your bones!
"The Rose" is a classic song that speaks about the ephemeral nature of life and how quickly good times can come and go. The opening line, "The days of wine and roses," is an expression that means happy times that are now over. The singer describes how these moments seem to run away and disappear, almost like a child playing in a meadow towards a closing door. The door that is mentioned is labeled as "never more," which is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven." The door being gone speaks to the fleeting nature of happy memories and how they cannot be recreated.
The second stanza talks about a lonely night, where the singer is filled with memories of a past love interest. They mention a "golden smile," which introduced them to the happy times spoken about in the first stanza. The days of wine and roses are tied to this person, and they can't help but think about them as they reflect on the memories of the past. In this sense, the song speaks to how memories can be incredibly powerful and can transport you back to a specific place and time.
Line by Line Meaning
The days of wine and roses
The joyful and carefree times filled with happiness
Laugh and run away
They came and went too quickly
Like a child at play
As whimsical and fleeting as a child's innocent fun
Through the meadowland
We frolicked through open fields
Toward a closing door
Our time together was drawing to a close
A door marked never more
We can never go back to those same carefree times
That wasn't there before
The realization that we can never revisit those times struck unexpectedly
The lonely night discloses
In the quiet of the night, I am left to reflect on what once was
Just a passing breeze
The memories of those times now feel like a fleeting gust of wind
Filled with memories
Those carefree times are now only remembered in nostalgia
Of the golden smile
The memory of the happiness and warmth associated with the past
That introduced me to
Those memories were brought to life by you
The days of wine and roses
Those happy, carefree times that we once shared
And you
You were an important part of the happiness in those times

Die Figuren sollen zu 60% aus nachhaltigen und natürlichen Rohstoffen im Kunststoffanteil und biologisch abbaubar sein. Aber die Box selber auch? (Wenn man an (seine) Kinder denkt, sollte Nachhaltigkeit für die Umwelt ja auch immer eine Rolle spielen. Sonst können wir den Kindern bald Flöße schenken.)
