HIM - Under The Rose Lyrics

I dream of the winter in my heart turning to spring
While the ice gives way under my feet
And so I drown with the sun
I've been burning in water and drowning in flame
To prove you wrong and scare you away
I admit my defeat and want back home
In your heart under the rose
I open my eyes with a sigh of relief
As the warmth of summer's sunlight dances around me
And I see you with dead leaves in your hands
I've been burning in water and drowning in flame
To prove you wrong and scare you away
I admit my defeat and want back home
In your heart under the rose
I've been burning in water and drowning in flame
To prove you wrong and scare you away
I admit my defeat and want back home
In your heart under the rose
I've been burning in water and drowning in flame
To prove you wrong and scare you away
I admit my defeat and want back home
In your heart under the rose
In your heart under the rose
In your heart under the rose
In your heart under the rose

this sounds corny as hell but this band really kept me going when i was really depressed and when i really didn't see a future for myself, i started using drugs and alcohol as "medication" and after abusing both of those became a problem a really good friend of mine took me on a holiday for a week, no drugs no alcohol, hell not even cigarettes, first 3 days were the hardest days of my life.. 4th day we went to a live performance of HIM, it was in a small bar, maybe 25 people were in that night and at the first note they played, i got shivers, started to get really emotional and after just 2 songs i really felt that i had to change every single thing in my life otherwise i wouldn't make it past 23.. the music hit me so hard that evening and still does to this day this band really changed my life a full 180 degrees around.. i quit the drugs, alcohol and the overall toxic lifestyle i was living, only bad habit im still guilty of is smoking cigarettes but at least i live a normal, happy, healthy life.. and all of that.. thanks to this amazing band

[@EvolvingReptiles]

HIM has always taken me to a good place, I like to call it "Music therapy" along with many other bands I love but they are my all time #1. I am so glad HIM saved you :) may seem corny to reply to a totally random stranger but you are not alone.

[@DSkehan2004]

I don't give a shit if this song is corny as hell. At least it's not weak shit in the 2010's.

[@monnikala9893]

It's not corny at all.. Been there done that too.. drugs and shit.. I'm from finland.. my friend who showed me this song killed himself 5 years ago...and other friends have died of overdoses.. this song gives power. Nowadays I only use alcohol sometimes to escape anxiety and panic attacks though i know its not the real way to treat oneself.

[@marin5431]

It's not corny, I felt the same. I was lost in life... I'm still lost, but this band always makes my heart smile. :)

[@maiseeher1418]

This is an amazing story I’m so happy for you. HIM is a drug and gives us healing magic through pulling on al our heart strings, no extra drugs needed to FEEL. Hail HIM.

[@wesleymahan5903]

[@88kwthomas]

Both under the rose and dark light are the names of KISS songs from the Elder

[@ciaran134]

I'm a huge fan of him and this is one of my top 3 songs

[@jessevitelli2199]

Im inlove with the creepy music at the ending

[@ruby4751]

That ending was siiick!

[@arieswildchild]

Such a great band, my first love, first obsession. Ville and Mige should continue without others.

[@bm625]

This song is called Under the Rose on an album called Dark Light. Somebody in this band must love Music From The Elder by Kiss.

[@jacksackofhairytirds5188]

Lol my thoughts exactly!

[@pepeHMB]

+BM It goes a bit beyond a kiss reference. It's at the same time a dan brown's da vinci code reference, from a particular part where it shows where the great secret was hidden. There's hidden too, in the chorus, the name of a book from Charles Bukowski. The album's name is in reference to a finnish book of poems if I remember well. They're a bunch of cultural motherfuckers.

[@jacksackofhairytirds5188]

Thats one weird fucking coincidence

[@sausagefinger12]

+BM he's singer and songwriter Ville Valo

[@nataliewisdom9009]

Also on this album are many Anne Rice references

[@emilyholt7812]

This reminds me of beauty and the beast, but it has a somewhat different twist to it... Like a guy loving this girl, but he keeps pushing her away until realization sinks in that he cant :3

[@NortherngirlAnnK]

Thumbs up:)

[@mickster026]

Wow, you described my situation. Just got cheated on after basic training i didn't want to lose her but it had to be done

[@Mossberg590Mariner]

mickster026 she clearly doesn't give a shit about you. Honestly, you should have dumped her before basic. 99% of the girls you'll date will cheat on you if you're not there. They have "needs". Aka sloooooots! Thanks for your service, bud.
