O_o
wow ever since I was five I thought he said kiss from a rose on the "grave" !!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol no wonder it doesn't make sense! lol

Answer 1

To me he is describing the beauty of this woman and the kiss is like the dew on a thorny rose, sweet but piercing. Like a new "LOVE" he has never experienced in his dull Grey life. The rose is blooming meaning love is growing into a addiction or an obsession he can not escape???????


"Kiss From A Rose"

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.

Answer 2

I think the Rose represents a new love coming into his life, which until then has been filled with gloom and darkness.

Answer 3

The grey, depression or possibly a state of mind after failed relationship
The rose, is colour brightening up his life. He's in love and becomes more in love with her.

Answer 4

I never try & overanalize a song that just sounds good. The long & short of it is that he's in love & happy.

Answer 5

It's just a classic love song... if it help... search up the lyics to it... play it and read along
