| Aqua – Roses Are Red Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| I took a completely different meaning to this song than what others have posted. Just from listening to it over the many years. Aqua was my very first album and band I fell I love with since I was a little girl who loved barbies lol... to me this song tells me she's all lovey dovey for him singing poetry and "the only thing he said was"..."my roses are red" I felt he could not express what he felt for her the way she expressed to him her love (I think he felt the same way but just could not express it) then he sings "come back, come back" repeatedly at the end | |
| The Highwaymen – Born and Raised in Black and White Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
The Highwaymen have a special significance in my life. There songs were held dear to everyone in my family and were something that actually brought my family together. I have treasured memories of growing up and listening to their music. This song is one of my top three favourite. When I was a kid I just couldn't get the whole story and shamefully it took me a while before I figured out this song is about a man on death row being executed. There is so much meaning in such few lyrics that tell a big story in this song. No brainer the song is about people being black and white in the Christian sense, being born either good or bad and begins a story with two boys who are just that. Complete opposite of each other (they are brothers) One boy "played with books" and did what he was told. "He learned to pray. He became a priest and spent his life saving souls." The other boy played with guns and loved to fight, He had no dreams and no plans. One day he shoots and kills his brother and can not give a reason to why he did only that the gun felt good in his hand. He must of been a model prisoner and a well liked man, he was comforting the executioner! Who seemed emotionally troubled to the point his hands where trembling! (he came to me with trembling hands, swore he'd never understand) he comforts him saying... "it's just what life had planned, I chose the dark you chased the light, its destiny... don't waste your tears on me tonight" Someone handed me a cigarette and offered me my "last request" "He came to me with trembling hands" - lethal injection? "I asked my mortal soul be blessed by someone close to me" - God. His last request was a prayer for his soul. His fate was sealed that night exactly the way it was written for him - Welcome home said the moonlight |
