"They call me The Wild Rose But my name was Elisa Day Why they call me it I do not know"

Sounds like the locals or the papers nicknamed her "The Wild Rose," because they found her where the roses grow, which is where Nick promised to take her. She must've been an unidentified body, and in the after life she is trying to reach out to them to tell them her name.

Disgusting, but beautiful.

Yeah I think that makes sense, about the unidentified body.

oh my god this song is so creepy! it has such a haunting and ominous feel ! !
