What 'Roses' Is Really About

Spoiler Alert: It's the Titanic.

What 'Roses' Is Really About
Buzzfeed.com

Everyone knows the popular Chainsmokers' song, but few people know what it is really about. I am sure you probably think that it is only about two lovers, but it is even more than that. Little known fact, the song is actually about the hit film "The Titanic." Don't believe me? Here, let me explain.

Some of the lyrics are as followed:

"Taking it slow, but it's not typical. He already knows that my love is fire. His heart was a stone, but then his hands roamed."

Heart was a stone. Diamonds are stones. The heart of the sea was a heart shaped diamond. Coincidence? I think not.


"Well I'll be your daydream. I'll be your favorite things. We could be beautiful"

I mean, first off who could protest the beauty that is Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet? And also, Jack is Rose's daydream—by that I mean that Jack is someone who pulls Rose out of her darkest place and reminds her what it means to live.

"Get drunk on the good life, I'll take you to paradise."

This is referring to the scene when Jack takes Rose to a party with the lower classes on the ship after having dinner with her family.

Like, I could not make this stuff up if I tried.

"Say you'll never let me go."

This needs no explanation.

"Deep in my bones I can feel you, take me back to a time only we knew, hideaway."

The whole story of Titanic is told from Rose at the age of 104. It is her reminiscing about their love story because she only holds on to Jack in her memories.


"We could waste the night with an old film"

This is what happened when Rose and Jack were in that car. They just watched an old film, duh.

"Say you'll never let me go."

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah"

What the boat captain said when the Titanic hit the iceberg, probably.


"Say you'll never let me go."

And the song is called "Roses."

Roses? Rose? Hello!

It is, basically, clearly shown for everyone to see. The Chainsmokers have all the love for Jack and Rose that the rest of the world does. And, if we are being honest, the repeating of "Say you'll never let me go" is really all you need to be convinced. Even though she did, in fact, let go. Maybe not mentally, but definitely physically. *Sigh*

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
