It Was a Rose Lyrics
Is this thing loaded or is it broken?
Is it ready for the road?
This we've encountered, is it a flower?
Is it pretty, Is it a rose?
Is it a rose?
My higher power has encountered the hours
In his kingdom, bored as stone
The devil's a waiter, he wont chase you
He sits cross legged, waiting at home
Waiting at home
Waiting at home
Waiting, waiting for us to get gone
To get gone, to get gone
I should have listened, It was a good one
I was crazy, and laughed alone
What I encountered, It was a flower
It was pretty, It was a rose
Waiting, waiting for us to get gone
to get gone, to get gone
Is it ready for the road?
This we've encountered, is it a flower?
Is it pretty, Is it a rose?
In his kingdom, bored as stone
The devil's a waiter, he wont chase you
He sits cross legged, waiting at home
Waiting at home
Waiting, waiting for us to get gone
To get gone, to get gone
I was crazy, and laughed alone
What I encountered, It was a flower
It was pretty, It was a rose
to get gone, to get gone

It was a rose is pretty much my favorite Dead Confederate song. I don't know why, but I just adore the song and my favorite part is:
The devil's a waiter, he wont chase you He sits cross legged, waiting at home
Wrecking Ball was such a great album, I listened to it on repeat back around when it came out. Was revisiting this song recently - surprised there aren\'t more comments here! How it\'s struck me is about someone who is bored with their life, even though by all accounts they have a good life. So they go looking for excitement, and in doing so - get entangled with their "demons". The song says devil - and I love that line - it seems to speak to the idea that humans need something to rail against. Like we seek out suffering. If nothing is going wrong, we\'ll make a problem, because we get bored easily. Temptation into "sin" does not require meddling on the "Devil\'s" part - because we come to him, knowingly or not. And it\'s at the bottom of this hole that the singer has dug for himself that he realizes this. That he in fact had it good (a flower, a rose). But we often don\'t know what we have until it\'s gone.
