Kissing The Crow
Adagio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me feel your hands,
Above those shores of absent heavens,
Sign of cross on my chest,
Helps me believing in my rest

Sad crow standing on dead twigs
Whistling my funest hour by his wings,
Black bird shadow counting,
To lead me on my ending future

I'll be forever screaming your name,
My spells will bless your heart
I'll be forever screaming your name

Even if the clock keeps ticking
The sad poem of my last breathing




My soul is slowly fading,
Forever, I am failing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Adagio's "Kissing The Crow" are deeply emotional and powerful, capturing the singer's feelings of despair and hopelessness. In the opening lines, the singer addresses their lover, asking them to touch them and provide comfort. They describe themselves as being in a place where they are distant from heaven and in need of reassurance. The sign of the cross on their chest is a symbol of their faith and hope in finding peace.


The second stanza introduces the image of a crow, which is often seen as a symbol of death and darkness. The singer sees the crow as a foreboding sign, as it whistles their "funest hour" - perhaps a reference to their impending death. The shadow of the black bird serves as a reminder of the singer's own mortality, with each passing moment bringing them closer to their end.


Despite their despair, the singer promises to keep screaming their lover's name, hoping to find some solace in their memory. They believe that their love is a powerful force, capable of protecting their heart and soul even as they face their final moments of life. Despite the inevitability of their demise, the singer clings to the hope that their love will endure beyond death.


Line by Line Meaning

Let me feel your hands,
I need your touch to make me feel alive


Above those shores of absent heavens,
Beyond the unreachable heavenly place that is devoid of love


Sign of cross on my chest,
A symbol of faith that gives me hope for eternal rest


Helps me believing in my rest
Gives me the belief that I may find peace in death


Sad crow standing on dead twigs
A melancholy bird perched on brittle branches


Whistling my funest hour by his wings,
Singing a tune of my darkest hour with his fluttering wings


Black bird shadow counting,
A shadowy bird watching and tallying my final moments


To lead me on my ending future
Guiding me towards the end of my life


I'll be forever screaming your name,
I'll never stop calling out to you


My spells will bless your heart
My words will bring you happiness and love


Even if the clock keeps ticking
Despite time moving forward


The sad poem of my last breathing
The mournful words of my final breath


My soul is slowly fading,
My essence is disappearing with each passing moment


Forever, I am failing
I am forever falling short

Cuando quieres que la cancion no se acabe nunca, o que dure 3 veces mas de lo que dura

Marcelo Forte

Tengo esa sensación, y al mismo tiempo pienso que es una canción tan buena porque dice lo que tiene que decir en el tiempo que tiene que durar. Te deja con esas ganas de que dure siempre, y es como la gracia que maneja.
