The Oh Hellos - Rose (Lyrics)

Lyrics:
wars are raising for her
crusades to adore her
the light of your afterword
are you losing her true nature
when you loosen nomenclature
when you gift another moniker?
what’s true is like a sickle
it’ll cut you to the middle
that your rose is without a thorn
but no, my mouth don’t taste of metal
from the pot here to the kettle
I think we got a lot we gotta learn
and even though by any other name
her scent would linger sweetly, all the same
call her briar long enough
and you’ll tangle up the true and the fable
your dowry isn’t fooling
the pyrite is showing through
it won’t buy you that empty tomb
and no alchemic incantation
for a counterfeit salvation
can appease your leviathan groom
no, love’ll get you slaughtered
like a ram at the altar
what is safe ain’t the same as what is good
so lay compress to the aching
of your body made for breaking
we’ve got a lot of breaking left to do
‘cause even under any other creed
the crucifix and the hangman - they both agree
change comes so cheaply
for those of us already at the table

This song is beautiful. I have a story with me and my best friend and this is one of the songs Jen, the mom of the main character sang to her son, Nelson the main character. This song warms my heart.

Thank you. I'm discovering new music from a younger generation.

[@legaellecy]

This song has got to be some of the best of the Oh Hellos

Thank you for making these playlists of song make by The Oh Hellos.
The songs are really useful for story ideas, especially fantasy story ideas

[@Scatterbrained_Watching]

They really are! I’m using them as a huge vibe inspiration for my current fantasy WIP

This song gives me such a strong image of a young woman/ her village preparing for the classic "feed the virgin bride to the dragon/ kraken/ lindwurm" ritual. Its such an addictive combo of folksy and Eldritch

[@hopekeeley2122]

This makes my think of Padme amidala

[@wolfbloodalite]

It does a little bit, doesn't it?!
Honestly, Oh Hellos song "Notos" reminds me of Anakin and Obi-Wan.

[@youcanchangeyournameongoog941]

Sounds like the song is about death

[@legojedimasterplokoon2173]

You can have any interpretation you want, but ultimately the song at it's core is a Christian song about how Christianity can be used to justify evil but ultimately is still good
