Rose
WIDOW AND THE SON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Those low notes speak what my mouth can't say
Can I read your every letter, turn your every page?
Can I hold you till these dark dreams fade?
Hey, Rose
Your soul is the picture
But your body is the frame
(And you taste just like your name)
I'll steer these wheels on down the road
All night from New York to Ohio
Can I drive you to California, fly you over Spain?
Can I take you to the place where the dolphins play?
Hey, Rose (hey, baby)
Hey, baby (can you hear me?)
Can you hear me, darling? (hey, life saver)
When you see it, baby (hey, life saver)
(Do us both a favor) Do us both for favor
Stay while I rebuild the world
On paper, Rose
Your soul is the picture
But your body is the frame
But the frame is exquisite
(And you taste just like your name)
We'll talk touch tones, no telephones
I reach the front door, nobody's home
Can I listen to your heartbeat, hear your every moan
Can I stay right here in your garden, love?
Hey, Rose
Your soul is the picture
But your body is the frame
But the frame is exquisite
And you taste just like your name
Hey, Rose (your soul is the picture)
Your soul is the picture (and your body is the frame)
But your body is the frame (but the frame is so exquisite)
But the frame is exquisite
(And you taste just like your name) hey, Rose
(Oh, your soul is the picture)
Your soul is the picture
(And your body is the frame)
But your body is the frame
(But the frame is so exquisite) but the frame is exquisite
(And you taste just like your name)
There's a big brass band in the park today
Those low notes speak what my mouth can't say
I indulge your every pleasure, engaged in lovers games
Can I hold you till these dark dreams fade?
The song "Rose" by Widow and the Son is a beautiful and soulful track that blends together elements of blues, jazz, and folk. The lyrics speak of a deep longing for connection and intimacy, as the singer expresses his desire to intimately know and hold the person he loves. The reference to the big brass band in the park adds to the depth of the lyrics, as the singer finds it difficult to express his feelings verbally and leans on the music to convey his emotions.
The lyrics suggest a certain sadness or darkness that the singer wants to escape from. He asks if he can hold the person until the "dark dreams fade", suggesting that he may be struggling with personal demons or past traumas. However, his desire for intimacy and connection seems to offer a way out of his struggles, with the lyrics painting a picture of two people lost in love, free from the troubles of the world.
The chorus of the song is particularly striking, with the line "Your soul is the picture, but your body is the frame" conveying the idea that there is more to a person than just their physical appearance. The reference to the frame being exquisite, despite the focus being on the soul, suggests that physical beauty is something to be appreciated too.
Overall, "Rose" is a song that explores themes of love, intimacy, and personal struggles in a beautiful and poignant way.
