i just love this song.. Nico's lyrics are always quite cryptic, but I think this song is about what happens to you when you're lonely ("he had to go"): having no one around, you start looking inside yourself (" Silently you'll go to the shadow of your soul";"With every moon it is as though you're getting closer to your soul") and suddenly you see things you had never seen before ("And you will find that you were blind") and you find out more about who you are. Therefore, the roses in the snow are in my opinion all the things you learn by spending some time alone, which can make you a more complete and, perhaps, a better person.
