Flowers of summer
Picked by the river
Sky blue
Frozen and bitter
Stay put in order
Keep it together
How can a lonely caged bird be
With eyes full of stars and glee
How did I get myself so deep
Caught in her mystery
Sing me a melody
In your dreams
‘Til we fly up forget who we used to be
I'll show you the rest of me
If you let me in
Thorns in the Roses
Bruises
Taste of the salt in my tears
I'll sit in silence
Distanced
Don't let the walls hear my crying
We used to be happy
Carefree
But now I lay down all alone
A bed of roses
Roses
Madness and chaos
Broken, scattered
Shards of hearts
Resist with kisses
Don't let them know where we are
Why did we think it'd all be fine
If we stayed hid in secrecy?
Let's run, far away from here
Take my hand
We'll be together, discover who we could be
I'll sing you a melody
If you let me in
Thorns in the Roses
Bruises
Taste of the salt in my tears
I'll sit in silence
Distanced
Don't let the walls hear my crying
We used to be happy
Carefree
But now I lay down all alone
A bed of roses
Thorns in the Roses
Bruises
Taste of the salt in my tears
I'll sit in silence
Distanced
Don't let the walls hear my crying
We used to be happy
Carefree
But now I lay down all alone
A bed of roses
Roses, roses, roses, roses

Roses
Kenta Dedachi
"Roses" is a song for anyone who's searching for love but hasn't yet found it. In this track, Kenta expresses the bittersweet feeling of being drawn to someone - that sweet, magnetic pull of love - paired with the heartache of not knowing if those feelings are returned.
There's no clear resolution here; by the end, we still don't know whether the person in the song finds love or not. But that's what makes it real. Life rarely gives us easy answers - sometimes, it just takes time. In the end, it's up to each of us: do we keep hoping, or give in to despair?
