Roses

In 'Roses,' Huskai delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the pain of being ghosted by someone they care deeply about. The recurring imagery of picking petals off roses symbolizes the uncertainty and desperation in seeking validation and love. The phrase 'Do you love me, or not, idk yet' captures the indecisiveness and confusion that often accompanies such relationships. This metaphor of the rose petals is a classic representation of the fragility and fleeting nature of love, emphasizing the artist's vulnerability.

The lyrics also explore the darker side of this emotional journey, where Huskai feels haunted by the memories and the emotional scars left by the person who ghosted them. The line 'You was just a demon, disguised to give me a reason to die' suggests a deep sense of betrayal and the feeling of being manipulated. This intense emotional pain is further highlighted by the artist's struggle with feelings of inadequacy and loneliness, as seen in the lines 'I'm never enough for anyone am I, I'm slowly turning blue but I don't wanna die.' These lines reflect a profound sense of despair and the internal battle between wanting to give up and the hope for a better future.

Huskai's raw and honest portrayal of their emotional state resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of unrequited love. The repetition of the chorus underscores the cyclical nature of these feelings, as the artist continues to grapple with the same questions and emotions. The song's candid exploration of heartache, loneliness, and the search for love makes it a poignant and relatable piece for many listeners.
