| Why? – One Rose Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Personally, I'm not too into the sound of the new album and I feel that the songs on this album are less personal and emotional than both Alopecia and Elephant Eyelash. That being said, One Rose is my favorite or second favorite song from Eskimo Snow. I think that Yoni wrote this song to explain how he feels that he doesn't fit in with society and has trouble relating to those around him. He feels as though something must be physically wrong with him that causes this separation between him and others but he can't distinguish what that is as shown with the line "all the things inside me i assume, are doing what they need to be doing." Yoni ends the song with "looks like a sky for shoeing horses under..looks like a sky, of some kind" which refers back to the song from Alopecia. In A Sky for Shoeing Horses Under, this line essentially means to give up and to move on. In that song, Yoni was referring to moving on in his musical career away from cLOUDDEAD. Yoni returns to the same idea and applies the same concept in this song; however, in One Rose Yoni is dealing with his life in general particularly his youth and his uncertainty of how to go about life. He debates whether or not to go on with life in a world where he feels misunderstood or to end it all in suicide. | |
