Poets Of The Fall – Roses Lyrics 2 years ago
I think the song is about "CRY for Help". The part where "so when i am crying alone and when i'm cold as a dying stone grow me a garden of roses" so he is asking for some motivation, some guidance, boost of encouragement.
The first stanza explains how he tried hard but could not succeed still doesnt hold grudges, he has been to places and followed but still no success. Finally, he looked at people who succeeded for inspiration (gazed upon the stars) but no luck there too.
Now he is full of scorn and trauma where he found a medicine man, who said to let go and forgive.
now he is asking either god, lover or teacher to help him guide the way.
