[Lyrics] Guide My Way (Red Like Roses Pt. III) | RWBY Volume 9 Soundtrack

[@rafbi4874]

Volume 9 hit VERY HARD and this masterpiece is the perfect way to end it

[@RayaChan22]

The message of finding yourself in volume 9...I really needed that ..now I do feel like myself and nothing or no one will ever change me

[@puffles5535]

@@RayaChan22they conveyed that message so well and it was so hilarious. It definitely centered heavily around Ruby, Jaune, Neo and the curious cat. They all we’re trying to find themselves. I felt bad the curious cat wouldn’t ever be able to ascend.

The rebirth of Ruby. The song that started it all, the response to part 2.

[@jeremybaker7963]

It started with red like roses part 1

[@YourBoiKirby]

@@jeremybaker7963 Part 1 is amazing but no the charater peace that red like Roses part 2 was, Part 1 was setting up all of team Ruby giving the viewer of hint as to who the people where back before the viewer even met them. Part 2 is all about Ruby and the death of her mother, part 3 is Ruby asking her mom to guide her out of the dark place she's in. Part 1 was giving you a tiny peace of who all the girls where, part 2 was all about Ruby and so is part 3. So it did start with part 1 ig but like didn't really get going till part 2.

[@GRIMHOOD99]

"I'll be who you are and even more." That is a great line.

[@Apronika]

2:15 nobody’s talking about this part but I fucking love it dude. I love how Casey made it seem like Ruby was questioning all of this. Also the “OTHERRRR SIDEEEE” and the “Will I ever be~?” EARGASM BROOOOO

[@theredeft5319]

I love this song. So glad we got a RLR part 3 now. Ruby isn’t going to try to just be like her mom anymore, but she’s not completely rejecting her either. She mentions the reclaimed promise of “I love you just the way you are”, she wants to do what her mom did but more, she wants to do things her way now, while still carrying her mother’s memory

[@Drewtendo]

Those lyrics get me every time: "I'll be who you were, and I'll be even more!"

[@mariapazgonzalezlesme]

A thing that I will always admire about RWBY is the continuation of their lyrics and songs. And this is not different here. The moment Red Like Roses motiff kicked off, the lyrics being a reply the RLR Part 2, her answer to Summer, the reference to Penny and her current character development from V8. Amazing!

[@swigmcale7555]

Where was the reference to Penny?

[@jeremybaker7963]

Because it's part 3 of red like roses

[@lucasfraczek4320]

Over a decade of an adventure and development, Ruby's journey has culminated into this. If there was one little thing I loved about this Volume, it was this entire sequence right here.

[@TheFury390]

"This one. What happens if i choose Me?"

[@pokeyscorpion8224]

I absolutely adore Volume 9's theme of acceptance and how it relates to all of the 6 major characters. Jaune's acceptance was as the final stage of grief and that he has been expecting too much from himself. Weiss' acceptance was that she no longer had to fight against her own name, and that she could be the one to redefine it. Blake and Yang (aside from accepting each other) accepted that they wouldn't be who they are without what they have been through. Ruby's acceptance was self-acceptance, she is far stronger and more capable than she gives herself credit for. Neo's acceptance is twofold: acceptance as the final stage of grief (finally accepting that Torchwick is gone) and a form of self-acceptance. Neo doesn't accept herself as she is, she accepts that she needs to work on herself before she can get a second chance at what she has always wanted (that being actual friends she can trust)

[@Starfall_abyss]

ruby rose is definitely a legend, a rose like warrior and what inspired every Single one of her team, from her start of her adventure meeting her teammates (part 1), to being a sad and depressed girl who missed her mother (part 2) to finally finding her purpose, finding her strength and finding that she is the one who inspired the fairytale, the one who made team R.W.B.Y, the one to show what being a hero is, achieve the title of the legendary rose like huntress and the one who erases every single negative energy and replace it with a positive one, what a legend, she'll be really missed along with the entire show after volume 12.

[@eduardoaugusto6661]

Volume 12? is that going to be a last volume or somethin?

Literally been looking forward to this since the finale. So glad the wait is over.

[@caitlingist283]

Love the call backs to some of the older songs.

[@theredeft5319]

Yeah not just RLR, but “until the end” and I think either “touch the sky” or “sky is falling”

[@olserknam]

@@theredeft5319 Touch the Sky? I was sure that was a Weiss song. Also, where's the reference to Until The End? I can't find anything obvious in the lyrics, is it in the leitmotif?

[@theredeft5319]

⁠​⁠@@olserknamAh you’re right I had a bit of a brain fart and for some reason got touch the sky confused in my head. The until the end one though is when it’s said “were you there ‘til the end” in here. Until the end I always thought was a Summer or Ruby song so I think it makes since to reference here. As for Sky is Falling it’s because that song seems like it could be from the hound who was a silver eyed warrior and who says “close your eyes my friend” and in this song it says “open wide” so it seems in defiance to that song where the person it’s from this saying to give up.

[@AiroDusk]

1:07 This part means a lot to everyone, but it must mean so much more for her, too.

[@Val-tj3rd]

I saw on another video for this song that people were complaining that RLR P3 didn't sound like P1 and P2. But I just thought; isn't that the point?? Like, Ruby is no longer chasing after her mother. Not saying she's rejected Summer, but the whole point of Volume 9 is finding yourself, improving yourself, becoming whole. And Ruby did just that--she suffered through a lot, so of course she is going to take *her* song and make it her own, not hers and Summer's--but Ruby's. I don't know, the people hating on the song just baffled me. This is kind of a lot and just my thoughts, sorry. Anyways, great vid, thanks for getting the lyrics out to us! ❤

[@whateverandapathy]

Red Like Roses needs several more parts. I want this song to be an hour long when the series ends. And it still won’t be long enough.

[@olserknam]

It seems the chorus of the song goes from Ruby begging her mom to guide her way to the declaration that Ruby herself will guide her way.

[@pokeyscorpion8224]

That and Ruby is no longer holding her mother to the impossible standards she used to. "I'll be who you were and I'll be even more". Ruby's not aspiring to live up to Summer, she's aspiring to do what her mother couldn't

[@Kat-xy7fm]

I like to think that by the end, Ruby is the one guiding her mother out. Taking her memory and her hopes and her burdens with her, as the one who IS able to carry them.

[@Z0MB1ESLAYER115]

I gotta say, i love that Casey has been giving us more Ruby focused songs, but i was , what was the word? sadden or ticked off? that they were all sad songs. Until the end, ruby's thoughts at the end of vol 7 (to be fair, she wasnt in a good place so), and thinking about Summer, and implying (to me) that come the final battle, she will give her life to save everyone else. Trapdoor, Ruby being depresso. and i feel like theres another song in there. But finally, Casey gives us happy Ruby song. and all it took was 10 years, and for ruby to kill herself. I kid I kid Oh and theres 'the edge', which is happy Ruby so

This song is now being the primary inspiration for my next D&D character for sure. Daughter of my previous character all grown up and looking to make a mark. No resentment to her father but has a lot of baggage and trying to find out who SHE is which is hard when her and her father share so many traits together. "I'll be who you were and I'll be even more!" Gives me the happy tingles just thinking about it.

I kinda wonder if there will ever be a RLR4. I think there certainly doesn’t need to be now that Ruby has chosen to be herself, but there could be 1 more I think when Ruby truly finds herself. I’m happy with this being the last RLR though. We could still here RLR as Ruby’s leitmotif again.

[Lyrics] Saw you In a dream Are you who you seem? Was it always in the cards for me To be aimless? No direction, nothing pulling me down From the sky it seems like I always get too High Oh the air is cold, I don't know how to breathe I'm begging, can you Guide my way out Of this place? Red like roses fills my dreams Open wide You were born to hypnotize them all They said their prayers (Can you, can you) can you hear me up there? What survives After all the dust has gone? Were you there till the end (the end)? Were you at least called a friend? Otherside, Did you mean to make me half or whole? Will I ever be (complete)? When will I become all of me? Guide my way out Of this place I can't define Would it even be enough to change my mind? Your memory ever-lasting at war with my foolish pride What is left? I know it's you and I, when I look inside I'll be who you were and I'll be even more A moment of quiet is all it takes To reclaim a life and a promise made I am the reflection of who prevails I'm what inspired the fairytale A moment of quiet is all it takes To reclaim a life and a promise made I am the reflection of who prevails I'm what inspired the fairytale (I'm what inspired the fairytale) Guide my way out Of this place (I can guide me, I can guide my way out) Guide my way out Of this place
