[press the green flag] Haiii! My name is Si-eun. I apologize for the horrible vocals, and my mixing was mid, & I made this in a rush, but this is my song called THE ROSE. I chose a rose because of the metaphor, A WARPED ROSE. It's when your friends are giving you a 'rose' to reconcile you, but in reality it's fake, like a WARPED ROSE. This song is about the time when you realize they're fake friends, and how you fell for the trap. How you were so naive, and now you promise it won't happen anymore. I REPEAT: This isn't my best work, so I may redo it if I have time, but I hope you just look at the lyrics. I know for a fact I won't get top 3, but I just wanted to try. ^^ Sincerely, Si-eun (PS - THE TRACK I USED IS THE PIANO BALLAD TRACK BY MATTHEW MAY. I also had a cold when I recorded this. That's why I sound extra stuffy.)
LYRICS: THE ROSE (Competition Entry) [Verse 1] We sat out in the garden Your face was glowing like the sun A billion pixels flickering on a tiny screen, when I tapped you on the shoulder You hid it behind your back Like a dagger to my heart [Pre-Chorus] Did I do something wrong? If i did, I'm sorry, But I don't recall you ever hiding the blue light But now it's sliding under your grasp face down only spotting a gold frame [Chorus] Don't give me the rose to reconcile me You’ve done that a million times It used to work, but now try me I won’t budge for THE ROSE Not anymore!! Stop handing me THE ROSE like its no big deal But I see the sweat, falling in beads Like a steady stream So don't you dare Try to give me THE ROSE Ever again [Verse 2] The next day i arrived usually i felt like peas in a pod But now i feel that your facade is coming off Like ceramic cracking The foundation falling See the raw pieces of unpolished wood The hollow inside No space for life Much less a heart, no blood Just a plain silence [Bridge] I see the spark in your eyes When you talk about a party I was never invited to Your brooding gaze settled on 'friends' You're laughing, you're crying But you don't even bother to stand by my side, so cut it out— THE ROSE That sweet fragrance that lured me in Now I know to avoid it [Chorus] Don't give me rose to reconcile me You’ve done that a million times It used to work, but now try me I won’t budge for THE ROSE Not anymore!! Stop handing me THE ROSE like its no big deal But I see the sweat, falling in beads Like a steady stream So don't you dare Try to give me THE ROSE Ever again [Outro] No rose will win me Because I'm not that blind I don't want to talk to anyone Ever again So let go Let go I'm like a warped rose
