It's Over Now
Kiss / Frehley's Comet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were life and love upon this island
And it was hard but you made it all worthwhile
So afraid that I'm gonna run away
Well if I was, I wouldn't be here today, ay
And you took me by the heart
And showed me where I was
Deep inside your love
[Chorus]
(You will) Never here me say the words
Never feel the pain that hurts
Never hear me say
It's over now

I look at you, and I see there's a fear
Something's wrong but your holdin' back your tears
Well here is where I am and where I'll stay
So loose the bad thoughts, push'em far away, ay
Hope and dreams will take the shape
I'm shooting for the stars
And diamonds for your eyes





[Chorus: x2]

How did this not be a bigger hit? Says a lot to me about Ace taking a back seat on this one and letting his bandmate shine.

@robertgoodwinr6523

For sure. Ace was all about the music and didn't care about the greed factor like his previous bandmates from that other band he was in...ahh hemm LOL

@jerseyhurricane9085

I agree !

@socialmediamarketingformus1178

@@robertgoodwinr6523 really, he was all about the money, ace never cared about the music or the fans. That’s why he returned to kiss for the reunion it was the money. He was broke. As soon as he had enough money he left again. Then when the money came calling again he sold the rights for the make up to gene and Paul not one thought about his fans or the music. It’s always been about the money for him. The only reason the first two frehleys comet albums were half decent was Tod howarth.

@michaelclement4961

Didn’t ace lease his makeup to gene and Paul fir fake frehely to use?

@orionwarren4244

@@socialmediamarketingformus1178 Geez, go worship at the altar of KISS. This isn't about that band which, by the way, only has legs left because of the music they created WITH ACE.

Todd and Ace did such an excellent job with the Song that song should have won a Grammy

@drby0788

Todd Howarth=criminally underrated

@boohenry5150

This is the kind of song that would be great to play while driving on a road trip. It has a lot of power going on, but has that cool relaxing down-side to it. Put those together and you have a very good song.
