[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Why are you scared?
What have you seen?
In the castle with the silent roses
I ask again and again
Why are you sad?
What pain are you feeling?
Oh, I ask of the rose with its petals of blood
But the rose of blood can't answer me till the end

Scream without raising your voice
Iki wo koroshite mitsumeru

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Kuroi hitomi no oku shinpi ni michita hohoemi wo ukaberu
Himei to tomo ni nagareru kurushimi wo mitsumete
Shiroi suhada ni shinju no kubikazari wo yosoui
Kyouki no chi to tawamure, odori hajimeru
Ai wo nakushita kokoro, satsuriku no yorokobi ni moeru
She will kill to make herself more beautiful
Gisei wo houseki ni kaete mo

[Instrumental Break]

Higeki no subete wo, iki wo koroshite mitsumeru

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Slice them! Slice them till they're running in blood
Nigemawaru onna wo
Tear up! Tear up till their red blood runs dry
Hadaka no karada wo tsurushiagete

Nikushimi ni koroshi au, toki no nagare no naka de
Chi de arau, karada no kagayaki motomete
Yokubou ni dakareta kokoro iki ba wo miushinai
Ai no subete wo hikisaku, namida sae misezu ni

[Chorus 1]
Rose of pain! Subete wo
Mitsume obieru
Rose of pain!

[Spoken Interlude]
The castle became a violent sea of blood
The blood covers the flower, dying it deep red
Stop! Stop dying me red
I can't take anymore
You are too cruel!
Stop! Please stop!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Slice them! Slice them till they're running in blood
Nigemawaru onna wo
Close up! Close up their mouth using thread and needle
Hadaka no karada wo tsurushiagete

Motome ai kizutsuku ai wo azakeri warai
Kawaita karada no uruoi motomete
Kill them all chimamire no kokoro subete wo miushinai
Ikiru zangyaku no naka de, namida sae misezu ni

[Chorus 2]
Rose of pain! Subete wo
Mitsume obieru
Rose of pain! I don't want to see
Rose of pain! Kurushii
Rose of pain!

[Spoken]
In eternal madness we live
Even if it was just a dream
Now pain, nothing but pain!

[Outro]
Rose of Pain!

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
