Okay, so recently I just came upon this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxVVh2D2K0s

And immediately I was intrigued by the lyrics, which I posted below.

Now, I can't be the only one who finds this set of lyrics interesting. We've had several different themes, I burn is all about a sort of 'Come at me bro' Attitude, From shadows carries heavy plot relevence to the faunus and Balke herself, while Mirror Mirror hints at a hidden side of Weiss we have yet to see. It appears to me (From the title and the lyrics) That this is sung from Ruby's perspective. Trouble is, this song has an immediate dark tone to it, and it discusses something that we here on the Speculation boards have only whispered about; Character death.

This alludes to something we may see later on in the series, or it may have more meaning to a background theme. These two possibilities are seperated by a particular factor; Who's dead? Well, in this case, I have narrowed it down to 2 possibilities.

1- Ruby is talking about Summer Rose, her mother, and the fact that she was never there for her. This may come in the form of a sudden revelation or plot twist later on, or it is simply her general attitude to her mother that we haven't seen her exhibit yet.

2- Ruby is talking about Yang. She is the only other character I'd imagine Ruby be singing about in such a fashion. This is an idea I'm not too sure about, and would love to hear feedback on.

Please feel free to analyse the lyrics as you see fit and discuss/speculate on them to your hearts content.

I couldn't take it, couldn't stand another minute Couldn't bare another day without you in it All of the joy that I had known for my life Was stripped away from me the minute that you died To have you in my life was all I ever wanted But now without you I'm a soul forever haunted Can't help but feel that I had taken you for granted No way in Hell that I can ever comprehend this

I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay Now I'm trapped inside a nightmare every single f'ing day

It's like a movie but there's not a happy ending every scene fades black and there's no pretending This little fairy tale doesn't seem to end well There's no knight in shining armor who will wake me from the spell

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">I know you didn't plan this <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">You tried to do what's right <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">But in the middle of this madness <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">I'm the one you left to win this fight

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">Red like roses <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">Fills my head with dreams and finds me <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">Always closer <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">to the emptiness and sadness <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px;">that has come to take the place of you <ac_metadata title="Red like Roses Pt2: An analysis"> </ac_metadata>
