Pat Dinizio said: "Blood and Roses" was written in New York City. In the early morning, walking home across Greenwich Village, from my job at a nightclub where I used to do sound and lights. It was raining, and the bass line came to me as part of the tempo of my walk. Lyrically, it was about a girl I was involved with in high school who committed suicide. |

First of all, will someone correct the spelling mistakes, and the lyrics are also incorrect. "Then she said" not "Then you said", for example. Secondly, Pat Dinizio has said the song was inspired by a girl he knew (I'm not sure if he dated her) who was depressed and ultimately commited suicide. So the lyrics are not so easily "self explanatory" and if you examine them, there are clues to the underlying depth of emotion and sympathy for the girl, and even horror, which also comes through in the music--like a horror movie score. |
