about

Rose is song about the loss of a loved one. The lyrics detail the mental state of an individual soon after a tragedy with the story told through themes of loneliness and helplessness to the point of disbelief. The instrumentation builds with the angst of the individual, transforming what started as an intimate acoustic guitar song into full indie-rock band performance.

lyrics

Imma smoke my mind away
Pounding heart, can’t feel my face
Imma ghost in a lonesome place
Those I love can’t help today

Imma fiend for a drug to take
Close to the edge I see heaven’s gate
I’m alone and I know it’s late
Cold and calm I want to breakdown

And you are the one on my mind now
So when are you gonna com home now?
Cause you’re the one on my mind now

When your gone I lose all faith
On my own I don’t know what’s safe
I just long for a place to sleep
Your side of the bed keeps me awake

When it’s empty my heart breaks
I know that no-one can fill the space
Some nights I swear I feel you there
But I open my eyes and you disappear

So Rose, when you coming home?
Cause I’m alone and you’ve been gone for long enough
So Rose, when you coming home?
How come the lord took you and left me on my own

The days are dragging
Another one has passed me by
My eyes stay open
Another sleepless lullaby

So I count that second hand
On our old grandfather clock
For as long as I can stand
Oh I know that I can walk

But the walks don’t feel the same
With only my feet on the ground
How my empty hands now shake
It was you that used to calm me down

And you are the one on my mind now
So when are you gonna come home now
Cause you’re the one on my mind now

So Rose, when you coming home?
Cause I’m alone and you’ve been gone for long enough
So Rose, when you coming home
How come the lord took you and left me on my own (x2)
