Roses for the Dead

The video makes me cry, it's so depressing

the video is basically the boy walking up to the top of a building to kill himself in the past tense && then the woman clearing out the room is his mum in the future, like after he died get it?

This is is about the death of close friends. In the Kerrang mag Matt says how he saw everyone else grieving but he felt weird because he wasn't crying and he just took everything in. He payed to tribute to those people with this song

It's one of my favourite ever FFAF songs ever. It has to be released some point after Streetcar, possibly around the same time as the album is released

matt davies on roses for the dead a heavy song, but not in the way metal is typically considered to be "heavy" . This is about the death of close friends; I saw my friends and family all grieving but I didn't know how to react. I felt odd because I wasn't crying, I sat there and took it all in. I wanted to pay tribute to the memory of those people, who I missed so much, and to express that Gareth davies on Roses For The Dead *For me its hard to listen to. The boy is pouring his heart out there

this song rocks, I think the new cd it's gonna be great

Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it. Matts screams at the end are great, he's got such a versatile voice. One of my favourites off the album by far

AWESOME INTRO! .. AWESOME SONG FULL STOP!!! xx

Some lines are wrong, the lyrics should be-

"Just to say we're sorry For the black eyes and bleeding lips And it's hard to forget How many lies we told Or how old we'd grow Before i said goodbye so let's scrape our knees on the playground

It's not your fault You feel okay It's too late in the day It's not your fault you feel betrayed You can't come out to play I never listened to a word you never said

Wasting the hours now We're all suckers for tragedies and start this over again and you bring us to our knees

As sunrise comes and the story will sell A few hundred papers so we'll follow you up

So raise your hands up high and let this rain pour on So raise your hands up high and wash us away

Like innocence and childbirth you look just like your mother you look just like your father forgive him our father your son is smiling so lay roses around you"

Great song. the album booklet says it is "dedicated to the memory of lianne davies and lloyd bird, eternally loved and never forgotten". Clearly a song about the death of loved ones... (which fits perfectly with the name funeral for a friend btw)

Thought they might be. Some of the live version lyrics sound slightly different to the album version, just changed it, thanks man!

Dear lord that ending is fantastic...and the way he sings "follow you up" makes me wanna headbang like a machine! Seriously, I want to start a family with this album, I love it that much!
