alpha rats nest

i've never really understood the "the night is lovely as a rose" line. everytime i hear it i turn it over in my mind, trying to uncover a deeper meaning, but none has found it's way too me yet. i suspect it's all very obvious, and i'm not looking at it right. this whole song is full of very obviou metaphos really. no, wait, obvious isn't the word i want here. umm, clear? shallow? uncomplicated? i think i'll go with uncomplicated. in verse one we have "we will do best vampire routenes," ok, ok, cool. and then, right after that rose line, "if i see sunlight hit you-" and right here, even though i know what's coming next, my brain always thinks it's going to be a follow up on that rose line, but no. it's "if i see sunlight hit you i am sure that we'll both decompose." we're back to the vampire thing. it's not very complicated, you see? we pretend to be vampires, i'm surprised you don't go to ash when the sun hits youre ass. but then, i wonder, he says if sunlight hits -you- then we shall both decompose. does he suggest that they are so co-dependant upon one another that if one goes down they both go down? this fits in with the alpha code of conduct thus far. so are the metaphors uncomplicated or complicated? i don't know. i just wish i knew what was up with that rose line.
