“Roses” is Alisa Xayalith’s first single since her 2022 EP Superpowers.
Alisa had this to say about the song in an email to fans:
I was going through a difficult season around the time i started writing music for myself again. It felt natural to turn to nature and use the garden metaphor. I was li...
[Verse 1]
I, I've been waiting so long
For something good to come
Seasons changing
I hope we're strong enough
I know days are moving slow
I'll go head-to-head with low
I just wanted you to know
[Chorus]
After all that we've been through
I still want to take a walk with you
Into the garden
We can watch it grow
For all of our tomorrows
Till everything's coming up roses
[Verse 2]
I, I know our fears have been kicking up the dirt
I push them down 'cause it's only gonna hurt
I know days are moving slow
I'll go head-to-head with low
I just wanted you to know
[Chorus]
After all that we've been through
I still want to take a walk with you
Into the garden
We can watch it grow
For all of our tomorrows
Till everything's coming up roses
The summer come and go
You'll never be alone
And when there's nothing left to do
Keep looking out the window
Till everything's coming up roses
[Bridge]
I can feel us holding on
Darkest just before the dawn
The promises we made will find a way to stay
[Chorus]
After all that we've been through
I still want to take a walk with you
Into the garden
We can watch it grow
For all of our tomorrows
The summer come and go
You'll never be alone
And when there's nothing left to do
Keep looking out the window
Till everything's coming up roses

“Roses” is about enduring a difficult season. It felt very natural to me to use a garden as a lyrical metaphor to anchor the idea of burying fears, worries, the past – whatever it may be – into the dirt in the hopes something beautiful will metamorphosize and grow from it. I have a very wild garden...
