Roses

The emotional journey within 'Roses' begins with an invitation to slow down, an acknowledgment of an atypical, fiery love that has the power to soften a hardened heart. ROZES expresses a transformation both for herself and her lover, highlighting the theme of love's alchemy, turning something ordinary into something precious and priceless. This sets the stage for a deeper connection—love that burns brightly and elevates both individuals.

As the journey progresses, ROZES offers to become an ethereal presence in her lover's life—his daydreams and favorite things all at once. The sentiment evolves into a celebration of their union with the possibility of experiencing life's finest through each other's company—tenets of the 'good life' that resonate with feelings of being drunk on happiness and delving into a personal paradise. It speaks to the intoxicating aspect of romantic love where couples feel euphoric and invincible together.

The chorus places us in the heart of nostalgia, where ROZES longs to return to a cherished, private period of intimacy that perhaps only the lovers understand. This signifies the depth of their emotional bond, where space ('the back room hideaway') and time ('a time only we knew') create a cocoon for their love. It suggests a yearning for simplicity and the craving to make such fleeting, perfect moments last forever—a common wish among those in love.

Finally, the emotional climax comes during the 'Drop' and 'Post-Drop,' where the repetition of 'Say you'll never let me go' serves as a mantra, almost a plea, for the assurance of loyalty and permanence. It reflects the vulnerability in the recognition that such an intense love can inspire fear of loss. As the emotional journey transitions from infatuation to deep connection, it concludes with an implicit understanding that despite the ebbs and flows of a relationship, the hope is for this love to endure.
