Roses
Within Temptation Lyrics

I feel my heart explode to particles
The intensity of my emotions is overwhelming and has caused my heart to burst apart into tiny pieces.

Love is always here and I told you so
Love is a constant presence that I have previously mentioned to you.

Restless in dreams love carved in stone
Even in my subconscious I remain anxious due to the permanent nature of my love.

This rhapsody of life in a way
Life can be described as a musical composition with varying themes and tones.

I guess we all know it
It seems that this is a concept that is universally recognized and accepted.

Hand in hand we stand while we watch you flow
Together, we observe the passage of time as it moves continuously forward.

Heaven can you help us, where we can't go
We seek assistance from a higher power for guidance as we navigate unfamiliar and uncharted territories.

Covered by roses
Referring to the way in which one's life is commemorated with flowers at the time of their passing.

When this dance is over
When life comes to an end.

We all know all beauty will die
All things that are aesthetically pleasing are fleeting and will eventually come to an end.

The choirs have awoken
The symbolism of choirs may refer to angels or spirits rising up to heaven.

Left no words unspoken
There are no unexpressed thoughts or emotions that go unacknowledged.

Remember you as long as I can
I will hold onto the memories of you for as long as my mind will allow.

Hold you in my arms all night
I want to embrace you tightly and cherish every moment we have together.

And spill the wine until the end
To enjoy every last drop of life to its fullest.

We all have our place in time
Every individual has an appointed role, purpose or destined path in life.

Need to live every moment
It is important to seize and make the most of every opportunity and experience that comes our way.

For all we are is falling stars in the night
Humans can be likened to ephemeral celestial objects that burn brightly before fading away into darkness.

A blinding light raging down from the sky
This metaphor could be interpreted as a sign of impending disaster, possibly death, that comes without warning.

The rise and fall, the rhapsody of our lives
Life has its ups and downs, joys and sorrows, which come together like musical notes in a symphony.

It's all we are and know, we've got to let go
Life is the only thing we truly possess, but eventually we must relinquish it and move on.

She dwells with beauty, beauty that must die
This is a reference to the fleeting nature of life's beauty - it cannot remain in its perfect state forever.

And joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
Happiness is elusive and fleeting, and can be removed from us as quickly as it was bestowed upon us.

His soul shall taste the sadness of her might
We must experience the pain of loss and sadness that comes with life's challenges.

And be among her cloudy trophies hung.
Our achievements and memories will eventually fade away and become indistinct like clouds in the sky.
