Within the Rose Lyrics

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

If I'm running out of time, then I'm running out of time
There's nothing you can do, to try to pull me through
Could tie me down with twine, give me back what's mine
I wouldn't want you to, try to pull me through
Ah-ah-ah, through, ah-ah-oh

You'll find me in the morning, hidden within the rose
Down beneath the great lake, up where the jackdaw crows
My grandfather did ask me, do you know what you have done
There were ripples in the water
I found them when you were young

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

And if I'm gonna find a way, then I'm gonna find a way
To give it back to you, to try to see it through
My wish is in the well, my heart began to swell
My breath became so slow, and the world it seemed to grow-oh-oh-oh

You'll find me in the morning, hidden within the rose
Down beneath the great lake, up where the jackdaw crows
My grandfather did ask me, do you know what you have done
There were ripples in the water
I found them when you were young

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Cover art for Within the Rose lyrics by Matthew and the Atlas

"There were ripples in the waters I found them when you were young"

(I'm positive that's what it is)

I agree with ripples. But what does it mean? Does it mean his grandfather felt the earth shake when his grandson came into the world? Hence the ripples? Meaning there is more to us than just being human. We're part of something larger in the eyes of our parents, grandparents?

This could be in direct relation to "and the world it seemed to grow-oh-oh-oh". So from birth to death, we realize that there is more to this life than just the physical world we live in.
