Within Temptation - The Truth Beneath The Rose

Within Temptation
The Truth Beneath The Rose
Lyrics

[@RodneyDennis89]

This song is an awakening to the world as it truly is, horrific and terrifying. We all realize at some point that there are no fairy tale endings and this world is cruel. I also see it as a kind of apologetic prayer. Simply put, I tried to do the best I could with what I had and please forgive me if I get it wrong which something I'm sure a lot of us can relate to.

[@genevievewillett7605]

You got that right. Makes us really see this as a message. I think I love this all the more.

[@DeHondInDeKast]

A Rose, beautiful thing. You can seek the truth beneath it's skin, but not without bleeding from the thorns...

[@michellecooley8350]

Very poetically worded! Spot on. 🤩

[@samirogers7312]

This song makes me want to listen to it over and over and over again

[@Angyali]

"Is paradise denied to me? Cause I can't take no more...!" :'( My exact feelings at the spring of 2022.

[@Amnct]

Holy shit where has this band been all my life?

[@Eal-EYE-jah]

The rose A truly lovely flower, hiding it's secrets beneath a layer of harsh cruel thorns A flower, red with a sinners evil deeds, white with the souls of the pure angels, black with the harsh truth of both our, and our world's fate You must be willing to bleed in order to see the truth behind this world The light won't protect you The darkness won't shield you The rose is not as it seems It is not I sigh of love or affection It's a symbol of the blood shed by war and pain A symbol of fading beliefs for forgiveness from the heavens, from the angels that won't catch you if you fall In the end, it doesn't matter how hard you try, Because you're going to die no matter what you do I know, it sucks But, as a song once quoted The truth is hard to swallow

[@EgyptianPricess]

This is by far the best most accurate description of the hidden meaning. How you figure this out?

[@Eal-EYE-jah]

[@airadoz]

super late reply but apparently "'The Truth Beneath the Rose' is based on 'The Da Vinci Code' and is about the idea that belief is sometimes used to justify sins. On the other hand, it may be more important with belief that it's your own belief and you can stand behind it instead of following the belief other people may want to put upon you."

[@BigMama2Nini]

I love this song!! To me it is an excellent commentary not necessarily about Christianity, but more of the Christian church itself. Fantastic song.

[@nafisabushra5160]

How is it related to christianity?

[@doloresgronenberg5882]

You know that there are muslim choruses in between? Who are the ones searching "holy wars" nowadays and waging it against christians above all? Not christianity of course. I think it's obvious

[@GallyIWas99]

Sharon's voice is FANTATSTIC!

[@raysofrosie]

It is 2019 and her voice is still the closest thing on earth to an angel~ I have no idea how she fucking does it but I commend her as well as admire her completely 😍😍😍

[@leegarlick6032]

Arielle Barajas erm no offence , I do agree with you but have you heard of lee and lie her channel is amazing, if you are looking for covers of anime openings, ending check her out if your into anime

[@irinaahsan7001]

[@NathanRush51]

As a marine veteran this song hits the heart strings at the age old question am I forgiven as I murder people I never ment in a place I never been or never will be again abroad to make it back home to the ones I love live in peace die of old age and go to heaven as a believer

[@pointatyou6727]

As long as you fight for what you believe is right and if you do not know what is right then fight for the ones you love behind rather than the ones you hate in front. No one is worse or better than you since you got enough bravery to kill someone you do not even know in their homeland even as you said will never go back there again. People often kill by hatred and anger but soldiers just kill and go so obviously it made you think about it.

[@anjadjurovic9617]

If american then no. That country is ruining world

[@itisthefear]

i have to say !! i never getting bored with this song

[@anneray8099]

Is it just me or anyone reminds this song of the Phantom of the Opera?

[@shawnee1635]

[@wacky_writersworld9968]

No but now that I think about it, yes

[@lilianavalentinaalegrialop2727]

Yes!

[@dizzyandkoko]

Now that you say it, it does sound like something that would be in The Phantom of the Opera.

[@harleytryon4805]

[@MY1BLACKCAT]

one of the greatest songs of all time - better when you read the lyrics

[@MJTRadio]

After seeing this suggested to me so many times, I finally listened. If it's not my new favorite Within Temptation song, it's number three at lowest. Holy shit.

[@whittosjuju]

i love this song! i've listened to it like 5 times in a row lol !

[@The_Nightsong]

This is my fav song of all. I love Ice Queen, Silver Moonlight, Whole World is Watching and so many others... but there's something special about this one.

[@roxikenney7989]

I agree. I was so happy she came out with this song because I just recently found God again after a life of sin and this song hits me so hard I cried.

[@TheaterRaven]

Gods, the first 30 seconds of this song are GORGEOUS. They sound like the score for a film of a sweepingly romantic Victorian tale. Within Temptation is a great rock band, but if they did more acoustic stuff, too, that would be amazing.

[@ronaldboers8061]

[@athenaprescott3395]

Is no one going to talk about how this song is about questioning religion and whether it does more harm then good?

[@Sikiares]

Religion is not God, Religion drives to hate and judgement; God drives us to love and mercy.

[@athenaprescott3395]

I didn't say anything about God(s)

[@EternalKeyofDaneu]

I believe this song talks about how an individual became fooled by human teachings that were FALSELY justified in the name of the Gods. Not all religions are evil but the men who belong within it have clouded hearts which emanates the evil within.

[@athenaprescott3395]

Eternal Path I've come to think that Religion and believing in a God/Gods have become a different thing. As you pointed out, Religious text and teaching is done by man, not God(s)

[@EternalKeyofDaneu]

But my religion clearly says do not join any war, we're not Eve allowed to hold guns

This has been around a while and it is still awesome! A question for any of the afficionados: Can anyone recite the Latin lyrics at the end? I'd like to know what they are...I don't necessarily need a translation, but I love Latin and would love to know what they're saying.

[@tradtke101]

Not sure if this is accurate, but people seem to at least agree on the Latin if not the translation: Et est signum Dies datum Et tenebris Mea culpa Acta est fabula pereo The translation I found was: "And there is a sign, the given day, and by darkness, my tale is told, and I perish." Latin is wonky though. Decide for yourself.

[@nikolalesov8359]

I have a humble request - can some of the experienced you tube users make a clip with that song and scenes from the Da Vinci Code movie focusing on Police Captain Bezu Fache? I got the feeling this song is about him and his realization that he has been manipulated by the archbishop he trusted, and dragged into a Holy War . We even have a rose hiding a secret in the title! :-) Thanks to the uploader - great song by Within Temptation - I love this band!

[@Regina316]

+Nikola LesovLiterally the first thing that came to mind when I saw the title was "Sub Rosa". I´m glad I´m not the only one who feels like it fits the movie/book uncannily well! :D

Its about the christian Crusades, but I would totally apply this to muslim militants too

[@IIBloodXLustII]

When you compare the Crusades to the Muslim atrocities in the 450 years before hand then the Crusades take on a whole different meaning. The leader of Islam after Muhammed died went straight into conquest and over the next century Muslims took over the entire middle east, North Africa and Spain. They were stopped from conquering Europe in the Battle of Tours in 732. But that didn't stop the attacks, they attacked Christendom for another three hundred years. The Siege of Constantinople finally was the tipping point and kicked off the Crusades. If anything the Crusades were a retaliation against all the Muslim aggression and it showed that the Christian kingdoms had a lot of restraint.

[@mohammedm4483]

Don't call them muslims 😞 they just kill in the name of Islam to fulfill their own greedy needs and goals,true muslims never participate in such wars , Isis now also kill in the name of Islam ,but there are many verses in Quran which are against aggression and oppression

[@majorskies7091]

It can be applied to any Abrahamic holy war...
