Led Zep, this is very much a sexual song. Growing up in the 80’s the songwriters wanted us to use the metaphors in their songs for multiple meanings. In Shakespear’s time, a rose took on multiple meanings, “a rose plucked and distilled into perfume describes a married woman, while a rose that withers on the stem describes a spinster.” I think there is something there, but it’s just not gonna happen….yet, hence “you still can’t touch my roses.” That’s my take on it. |
