Maybe you think the username is only a gibberish sort of term that was just used to generate a username without the use of numbers? In reality, it is a German term, meaning in literal translation, 'The Rose-red Nightmare'. Bad-assh and spooky, right? I may be something of a lunatic, but a username shouldn't be a complete label on people. As the alleged nightmare suggests, I'm not always the most pleasant of people, but that's only when I happen to be in a bad mood, at which point I'll probably disguise that well enough that you couldn't tell. However, the name more leans toward the nightmarish fashion in which I associate myself with my music, friends, and outlook, taking what could almost be seen as a disdainful relationship with human nature, rather, a love-hate relationship if you will. It also pulls from the gallant, warm, passionate, and caring themes derived from the rose-red crimson. The blood that makes us all alike despite obvious differences, is what brings us in unification. I like to think myself worthy of these meanings, though it may sound narcissistic. I have a tough outer shell, difficult to see through the mask of emotion it may seem, you will often see only what I would like you to. It's not betrayal, but more of a psychiactric approach, useful for when I require it, and sparing of the emotions of friends. Like the rose's thorns, those drawn in too close will be harmed, and I try to distance those I befriend from my inner issues, and I myself may even stray away from them, leaving them behind on the occasion, to free myself of the shackles of a destitute society and crippled emotional state for a more peaceful dwelling among friends. So what, praytell, does the Rosenrot Alptraum mean, aside from its translation? A lovingly decietful and ever compassionate spirit, or a monstrous tormented being, repenting its own nature, lying with a smile? It's a question I've yet to truly solve, and I leave it to anyone to configure. But for now, I believe it to be two halves of a whole, two entities brought together to balance and soothe its friends, to find peace of mind through their clarity, and finally rest and retire itself into contentment of being. But, then again, maybe I'm only wishing?
