"Wild Roses" lyrics
"Wild Roses"
Wild roses on a bed of leaves
In the month of May
I think I wrote my own pain
Oh don't you
Down by the creek I couldn't sleep
So I followed a feeling
Sounds like the vines they are breathing
And I've seen the way the seasons change
When I just give it time
But I feel out of my mind
All the time
In the night I am wild-eyed
And you got me now
Oh roses they don't mean a thing
You don't understand
But why don't we full on pretend
Oh won't you
Before I closed my eyes I saw a moth in the sky
And I wish I could fly that high
Oh don't you
A serpent on a bed of leaves
In the month of May
What do you want me to say
That you keep me still
When all I feel is an aimless direction
When I think I'm losing connection
I see you
In the night I am wild-eyed
And you got me now
Dim the lights, we are wild-eyed
And you got me now
Oh roses they don't mean a thing
You don't understand
But why don't we full on pretend
Oh won't you
Before I closed my eyes I saw a moth in the sky
And I wish I could fly that high
Oh don't you
Oh don't you
Oh don't you
In the night we are wild-eyed
And you got me now
Dim the lights, we are wild-eyed
And you got me now
In the night I am wild-eyed
And you got me now

Being the second single from FEVER DREAM, "Wild Roses" was released on July 12, 2019, but it was already available on Spotify in Iceland on June 28, 2019.
Nanna Hilmarsdóttir said about "Wild Roses", "The song shows an introverted side to the album and is influenced by a bit of dance music and Joseph Campbell's 'The Power Of Myth' and what it is like to lean into your sadness."
