Q&A
To Drown A Rose Lyrics
Hide from the sun
Life, an icy tear
Rivers of blood
Serenade my lungs
To drown a rose - To drown a rose
Will he hold my soul
Will he tear my heart
Will he - Will he
Will he rip me apart?
To drown a rose - To drown a rose
Decay of belief
And the highest doubts
We spill our blood
Too late to shout
How we burn
Why keep scum from knowing?
32 creases
Shot in the dark
A flame across the sea
We're going down in history
To drown a rose
To share a dream
The sickness of death
In your eyes - In your schemes
To drown a rose - To drown a rose
Like a crystal tear
I wait to betray
The lie across the sea
My hate is love to me
To drown a rose - To drown a rose
A shot in the dark
Perfumed and sweaty
Why do we mourn
Neutered and muddy?
To drown a rose...
Life, an icy tear
Rivers of blood
Serenade my lungs
Will he tear my heart
Will he - Will he
Will he rip me apart?
And the highest doubts
We spill our blood
Too late to shout
Why keep scum from knowing?
32 creases
Shot in the dark
A flame across the sea
We're going down in history
To share a dream
The sickness of death
In your eyes - In your schemes
I wait to betray
The lie across the sea
My hate is love to me
Perfumed and sweaty
Why do we mourn
Neutered and muddy?

This is one of my favorite songs. I think Death in June's music is about as dark as it gets.
My humble interpretation of this great DIJ title is that it is a song about an abusive, violent relationship which may have (or not) ended in death. Rose (the singer) is drowned, repeatedly. 'Will he hold my soul / Will he tear my heart / Will he rip me apart?' She is unsure about the outcome of their next encounter, either she hopes for a good ending, but implies that she knows deep down that harm is more likely than healing. Maybe she knows that she will get hurt. :(
Maybe she is planning to get out of this viscous relationship by killing him? 'My hate is love to me A shot in the dark Perfumed and sweaty'
This was the first song I had ever heard of DIJ, back in 1987. This one and the others (Europa/Zimmerit) from the mini LP were the start of a long lasting fanship for DIJ for me, and my entrypoint to the Current/DIJ/Coil/etc world.
Anyone agree?....Hello? ......Heeeloooo? echo
I definitely agree. I just started listening to them this year, and this was the first song I gave a listen to.

Here's a comment for you. Very nice song.
I see it as a love song but somehow still in doubt.
