Eb This poisoned rose

La chanson évoque une relation compliquée où l'amour est à la fois une source de joie et de souffrance. Le protagoniste reçoit une rose empoisonnée, symbole des sentiments ambivalents que lui inspire son partenaire. Même si une partie de son amour lui reste accessible, il est conscient des blessures que cela entraîne. Les souvenirs sont teintés de désillusion, avec des moments de passion entrecoupés de trahisons et de malentendus. Dans ce contexte, chaque tentative de rapprochement semble échouer, laissant place à une mélancolie persistante. Le protagoniste se retrouve pris au piège, cherchant à comprendre comment une telle affection a pu devenir si tragique.
