Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet,
But not as sweet as you
Roses are red and
Violets are blue.

Come pick my Roses!
Sweet from the flowers
Honey from the bees
I've got a feeling,
I'm ready to release
Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet,
But not as sweet as you.
It's invisible but, so touchable
And I can feel it on my body,
So emotional.
I'm on a ride, on a ride
I'm a passenger.
I'm a victim of a hot love messenger.

Come with me baby,
Please fulfill my wish
Show it to me truly,
Show me with a kiss.
Roses are red and
Violets are blue
Honey is sweet,
But not as sweet as you.
It's invisible but, so touchable
And I can feel it on my body,
So emotional.
I'm on a ride, on a ride
I'm a passenger.
I'm a victim of a hot love messenger.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
this song is cool....i love listening to it.
This seems like its about an orgasm. I've been reading all Aqua's lyrics and I am suprised that they are all actually about stuff. I always thought they were about nothing. But then again, I never really listened to Aqua.
every person is thinking that as i I thinking but So Am not . In this songs when a flower release sweet honey but its eyes are red from blood . when the bee creat a nist so MooomVax release from that made up candle. when the candle burn and it light seem a (Incects). what happence he love and die . so the red flowers are red and his heart and eyes are also red . (The only things he was said . My roses are red). red and hurted. I am just say that I am got this meaning from this songs
I didn't really understand the last response but I think I get it and I think the part about love dying is part right... i think..
COME PICK MY ROSES.
lmao
that part was random. "Come pick my roses" ^^
LMAO, I agree. This song always did remind me vaguely of like, an orgasm. And the male voice always cracks me up for some reason. Very catchy though.
Actually, quite a few of Aqua's songs have an underlying sexual meaning if you read the lyrics right.
Re-read the lyrics for Barbie Girl thinking what I just wrote and you'll understand what I mean. This song is the same way. It absolutely has deeper sexual meaning. "I'm a victim of a hard love messenger"? Come on, what do you think it means? :)
Yea.. This song is definitely sexual. Whatever gotan said up there made so sense at all, lol.
But anyways, this song is pretty sweet (as are all Aqua songs). The beginning is the best, when he's like "come pick my roses" and then there's that little techo/dance beat playing. That part makes me wanna dance. :]
I honestly believe that this song is about sex. "My Roses are red"... Yeah, I mean, I've used the term "Come Pick my Flower" before to my last ex on the phone. And I highly agree that this song is about having an orgasm. But, also, I was wondering if it could be a song about virginity, in a way.
"Don't Take My Roses Away!" But, that could also mean "Don't stop, don't take this away!"
This is a wonderful song to move your body to, though.
