Ticket to the Sky
The Rose
“Ticket to the Sky” by The Rose is a poetic and emotionally charged song that captures the longing to escape pain and reach a place of peace, healing, or reunion. Through the metaphor of a "ticket to the sky," the lyrics evoke a sense of yearning—for freedom, for release, or for someone who feels distant or lost. The sky becomes a symbol of hope, an unreachable but deeply desired space where one can finally breathe, feel whole, or reconnect with something they've lost.
The song explores themes of grief, inner turmoil, and the quiet desperation that often lies beneath the surface. At the same time, it gently carries a sense of fragile hope. It's as if the narrator is holding onto the idea that somewhere beyond the noise, the pain, or even the physical world, there is something better waiting—a light in the distance, a second chance, a dream worth chasing. Whether it's interpreted as the pursuit of personal peace, a tribute to someone gone, or an artist’s silent wish for connection and meaning, the song resonates on multiple levels.
Musically, The Rose blends soft melodies with emotional depth, allowing the listener to float along with the message. The vocals are tender and full of vulnerability, reflecting the inner voice we all have when we’re searching for clarity or comfort. “Ticket to the Sky” isn’t just about escaping—it’s about reaching upward when everything feels like it’s pulling you down. It's a quiet but powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, we can still look up—and maybe, just maybe, find our way there.
[Verse 1: Woosung]
A shadow floats through the sky
The silhouette dims the light
Found myself chasing the rails
That curved through the clouds
A fleeting whisper in the air
I hear my name as I'm searching
For the entrance to your world
[Pre-Chorus: Woosung]
My heart's taking my breath
My eyes shining away
Your touch stronger
Than anything I had
[Chorus: Woosung]
Make a wish here with me right now
It's our little secret ride
Let the wind blow your dreams to mine
As we step onto the line
I felt the warmth of your embrace
Knew exactly I belonged
Let the wind blow my dreams to yours
This is what I wished for
[Verse 2: Dojoon]
A misty smoke in the haze
A gentle flame in our heart
Glowing in the dark
Below the stars, we ignite
A fleeting whisper in the air
I hear my name as I'm searching
For the entrance to your world
[Pre-Chorus: Dojoon]
My heart's taking my breath
My eyes shining away
Your touch stronger
Than anything I had
[Chorus: Dojoon]
Make a wish here with me right now
It's our little secret ride
Let the wind blow your dreams to mine
As we step onto the line
I felt the warmth of your embrace
Knew exactly I belonged
Let the wind blow my dreams to yours
This is what I wished for
