thumbs up if ur name is Emily

And as the years go by

She will grow old and die

The roses in her garden fade away

Not one left for her grave

Not a rose for Emily so damn cruel :(

@Valdrag Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, I guess ~

@victoriaenciso I dont see that song a creepy, only that a woman is clinging to whatever she has, unwilling to accept that it has left her.

@emfilomena It's based on a creepy short story by William Faulkner lol.

@WGSO1894 Very true.

Note: does not apply to the band As I Lay Dying :). Not a very good metal band.

At first, I thought, "A rose for Emily? What a pleasant sounding song!" I listened to it, admiring the upbeat music, then heard the lyrics. Not exactly the most positive , though it does reflect my life thus far ;P

Read the story.. You'll sleep fine for the first night. You only understand the plot the day after. Then, no more sleep for you.

@loganarchermusic Read the story if you think this is sad.

@mockingbird1006 Still touring and still excellent. Go and see them - though you will be the youngest in the audience by miles!

Such a ridiculously sad song.
