Song With Rose

Elvis Costello

Transposer:

Intro: verse 1 Between last breaths and first regrets The days dragged on like cigarettes In the distance martyrs and martinets Dally dancing with the empty silhouettes of threats verse 2 So where but heaven does love end And where on earth does it begin It’s not the kind of love that is pinned Like a medal or presses pennies in a tin There is hope and after that there is only faith Love like a wraith Never made me afraid Consoled as I was by that shade Post-Chorus Here lie the roses in the ashes Deep as the barnacles that cling Just like a lace that runs through everyone and everything verse 3 In that other still forever In that time before the past I told myself we’d be together Can you promise me that it will be eternally? There is hope and after that there is only faith Love like a wraith Never made me afraid Consoled as I was Outro N.C. Consoled as I was Consoled as I was by that shade

Cette chanson évoque les nuances de l'amour entre l'espoir et la foi, inscrivant cette relation dans une dimension presque spirituelle. Elle transcrit avec poésie la distance entre le regret et l'attente, se questionnant sur les origines et les aboutissements de l’amour, loin des concepts matériels et des attaches superficielles. Les roses, symboles d’amour, reposent parmi les cendres, comme une métaphore de la beauté persistante qui coexiste avec la douleur et le passé. Le contexte pourrait être une réflexion sur la fragilité des relations humaines face aux épreuves de la vie, où l’amour est présenté comme une force éthérée qui, bien qu’intangible, reste réconfortante. Cela nous invite à penser à ce que signifie vraiment être unis, même lorsque le temps semble figé ou incertain.
