Talk:RWBY Soundtrack/Red Like Roses Part II/@comment-10390252-20131114131727

"I know you've lived a nightmare / I caused you so much pain / But, baby, please don’t do what I did / I don’t want you to waste your life in vain"

I think that this section feeds into the Cinder Fall = Fallen Summer Rose theory. It's Summer, telling Ruby not to walk her path no matter how much she hurts and how much it hurts. The first verse is Ruby remembering the day they told her Summer was dead, the second verse is Summer begging her little girl for forgiveness because she had done what she really had thought was right. The third verse really is a dialogue between Summer and Ruby.

It's interesting that I was right that the scattering of red petals at the start of the Red Trailer was some kind of ritual mourning for the dead.
