With their make-up and costumes, the band members took on the personae of comic book-style characters: the Starchild (Stanley), the Demon (Simmons), the Spaceman or Space Ace (Frehley), and the Catman (Criss). Due to creative differences, both Criss and Frehley had departed the group by 1982.
In 1983, Kiss began performing without makeup and costumes, thus marking the beginning of the band's "unmasked" era that would last for over a decade. The band experienced a commercial resurgence during this era, with the Platinum-certified album Lick It Up successfully introducing them to a new generation of fans, and its music videos received regular airplay on MTV. Eric Carr, who had replaced Criss in 1980, died in 1991 of heart cancer and was replaced by Eric Singer. In response to a wave of Kiss nostalgia in the mid-1990s, the original lineup re-united in 1996, which also saw the return of its makeup and stage costumes. The resulting reunion tour was highly successful, grossing $143.7 million, making it the band's most successful tour to date. Criss and Frehley subsequently left the band again, and have been replaced by Singer and Tommy Thayer. The band has continued with its original stage makeup, with Singer and Thayer using the original Catman and Spaceman makeup, respectively. In September 2018, Kiss announced that, after 45 years of recording and performing, it would be embarking on its ongoing final tour, the End of the Road World Tour, which started in January 2019 and concluded in December 2023.
Kiss is regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of all time, as well as one of the best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide, including 21 million RIAA-certified albums. Kiss also holds the title as America's No. 1 Gold record award-winning group of all time, having earned 30 Gold albums. Kiss has 14 Platinum albums, with three albums being multi-Platinum. On April 10, 2014, the four original members of Kiss were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Kiss was ranked by MTV as the ninth "Greatest Metal Band of All Time", and placed tenth on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" list, as well as being ranked as the third "Best Metal and Hard Rock Live Band of All Time" by Loudwire magazine.

Gyal you inna me head
Right now
Wanna go wanna go my way
Oh no
You wanna play with me
Me no like this thing
Nah nah
Oh no
My way my way
Oh no
Please don't come my way

Bad gyal you killing me sofly
Me no like this thing
Weh yah do to me
Gyal you killing me sofly
Gyal you killing me sofly
Me no like this thing
Weh yah do to me
Gyal you killing me sofly
Du coup c'est le chemin des rêves
Qui peut séparer le nôtre
Quand la goutte de trop
Est venue chavirer le vase
Est ce qu'on peut réparer le pot
Les roses ont déjà fanées
Pourquoi les arroser
On ne voit qu'avec le cœur
Et pourtant l'amour
Rend aveugle
Vois-tu les dégâts causés
En vrai tout ça c'est que du taf
Mais t'aimes reprocher
Que les hommes
Ne s'éduquent pas
La thune ça ne te séduit pas
Besoin de personne
Pour aller chercher du pain
Ressens comme le tableau est triste
A cause de tes blessures
Tu veux plus partager
Voudrais bien d'un mec mortel
Pour l'instant personne
N'a pu t'attraper
Voudrais bien d'un mec mortel
Pour l'instant personne
N'a pu t'attraper
Voudrais bien d'un mec mortel
Pour l'instant personne
N'a pu t'attraper
From very very long time
Gyal you inna me head
Right now
Wanna go wanna go my way
Oh no
You wanna play with me
Me no like this thing
Nah nah
Please don't come my way
Oh no
My way my way
Oh no
Please don't come my way
Oh no
My way my way
Oh no
Please don't come my way
Tu fais ta route
Je fais la mienne
Pas de regrets
Car je devrais
Tracer ma voie
Sans le poids des "Si seulement"
J'étais déjà dedans
Avant la hype de l'isolement
Des hauts et des bas
J'ai trop fais d'écarts
Mais les erreurs
Ça fait pas déposer les armes
Et les critiques nous tuent
Doucement
La passion des premiers jours
Est dans un amour décimé
Et les critiques nous tuent
Doucement
La passion des premiers jours
Est dans un amour décimé
The song My Way by Kiss expresses the joy and satisfaction that comes with finding the one you've been searching for after going through so many challenges and struggles. The song suggests that sometimes in life, we go through experiences that hinder our progress and make it difficult for us to find our way, but with persistence and determination, we can overcome these challenges and find what we're looking for.
The lyrics "So many people tried to help me on my way, so little time and there's still so much left to say" suggest that the songwriter has encountered many people in his journey who have tried to show him the right path, but he feels like there is still so much more to learn and experience. He then goes on to say "there's no explaining all the things that I've been through, but I've finally found my way to you," implying that he has been through a lot of obstacles, but he has finally found the one he's been looking for.
The chorus "Remember how we used to hide away, we'd dance the night away" is a nostalgic reflection on the happy times that he shared with his partner. The last verse "And now I'll hold you like I never have before, I'll let you go just long enough to lock that door" suggests that the songwriter is now willing to do whatever it takes to keep his partner, even if it means sacrificing something else.
Line by Line Meaning
So many people tried to help me on my way
Numerous individuals have attempted to support me on my journey
So little time and there's still so much left to say
Despite time running short, there is still so much that needs to be expressed
There's no explaining all the things that I've been through
It is impossible to articulate all that I have endured
But I've finally fount my way to you
Nevertheless, I have eventually managed to discover my path towards you
Now the day is endhing and the night begins to fall
As daylight fades and night approaches
Sometimes I wonder if I'll make it back at all
Occasionally, I question whether I will return at all
I gave up everything I had and ever knew
I renounced everything I owned and had knowledge of previously
But I finally found my way
Nonetheless, I eventually found the way
Finally found my way
I ultimately discovered the way
I finally found my way to you
I ultimately discovered my path towards you
Remember how we used to hide away
Recall when we would conceal ourselves
We'd share the secrets of our souls
We would exchange the secrets of our beings
Turn down the lights and dance the night away
Dim the lights and dance through the night
We'd dance the night away
We would dance throughout the night
And now I'll hold you like I never have before
And now, I will embrace you like I never have previously
I'll let you go just long enough to lock that door
I will let you depart only for the duration of the time it takes to secure that door
The words I whisper come so late and overdue
The words I softly articulate are so belated and delayed
But I finally found my way, I finally found my way
But I ultimately discovered the way, I ultimately discovered the way
I finally found my way to you
I ultimately discovered my path towards you
To you baby.
To you, baby.
