Thorns & Roses by Quinny - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro – ghost choir + reversed synth + breath FX]

아무도 몰라… 아무도 몰라…

[heartbeat fades in]

[Trap sub-bass swell]

[Verse 1 – soft vocal, Korean added]

They dress me in silk

아름다움 속에 숨은 슬픔

Lips like mercy

But no one can tell

That every "you look beautiful"

Feels like another cage

웃고 있지만

그건 진짜 내가 아니야

[Verse 2 – echo FX + slow hi-hats begin]

The petals fall slower

피는 꽃도 eventually fades

So I hide the cuts in perfume

향기 속엔 고통이 숨어

They ask for the smile

Like it’s part of my skin

But behind every photo

I’m breaking again

[Pre-Chorus – harmony layered, beat swell]

I bloom for them

But I wilt alone

In every applause

I feel more unknown

[Chorus – full beat drops, layered vocals]

I bloom to bleed

근데 아직도 날 예쁘다 하네

You kissed the pain

Then left it running through me

I wore the crown

But it was made of glass

내 안의 진실은

아무도 바라보지 않아

Roses can’t love

When they're grown from thorns

But I still gave you

Everything worn

[Verse 3 – minimal beat, distant piano]

The mirror knows me better

Than you ever did

거울 속의 나만이 알아

What I’ve been hiding underneath

They worship the silence

I break just to survive

But they don’t hear the cracking

When I say I’m fine

[Pre-Chorus – build returns]

I bloom for them

But I break for me

And every red

Is a part of me they’ll never see

[Chorus – chorus repeat, stronger vocals]

I bloom to bleed

근데 아직도 날 예쁘다 하네

You kissed the pain

Then left it running through me

I wore the crown

But it was made of glass

너는 봤지

겉모습만

Roses can’t love

When they're grown from thorns

But I still gave you

Everything worn

[Bridge – crackling vocal, rising string pads]

If I shattered now

Would you still write poems?

나의 상처는 예술이 아니야

You loved me best

When I was quiet, and small

But darling, I’m louder

And bleeding through it all

[Final Chorus – powerful + choir + reverb trail]

I bloom to bleed

더 이상 예쁘고 싶지 않아

I kissed my scars

And kept them humming softly

I wore the crown

And it cut me bare

네가 사랑한 건

나의 고통까지는 아니야

Roses can’t love

When they’re grown from lies

So take your petals

And say goodbye

[Outro – whispered, choir fading]

난 아직 여기 있어

하지만 네 꽃은 아니야…

[heartbeat ends]
