1. Kiss Kiss was an indie rock band that emerged from Milton's SUNY Purchase. The group was formed by Joshua Benash (guitar, synth, and vocals) and Jared Karns (drums) after the members had participated in various college bands. The name Kiss Kiss is derived from a series of short stories by Roald Dahl. Although their music is primarily rock in style, it also includes an electric violin that adds an orchestral sound to many songs. The contrasts within Kiss Kiss' songwriting and vocals have also been described as extremely frantic at times, yet melodic and soothing at others. This unusual variety of styles has helped the band's music to appeal to a wide audience.
The band's first release was a self-titled EP--initially released independently in 2004, it would be re-released on Eyeball Records with new artwork on October 11th, 2005. Their debut album, Reality vs. the Optimist, was officially released on February 6, 2007.
The band's second album, The Meek Shall Inherit What's Left, was released on July 7th, 2009.
2. On March 25, 2023, at the conclusion of WACK Audition Camp 2023 the formation of Kiss Kiss was announced. The group consists of six members of Gang Parade. Their first digital single, "Kisses", was released on April 17. On June 21, they released their debut album, First Album.
All They Draw
Kiss Kiss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was youthful in its time.
Is now old and worn
A monument for life.
And all,
They've drawn
They'll drain from your eyesYour thoughts
Your moods
Are all watched by eyes
And I'll wait tonight
The voice you swore
Was youthful in its time
Is now old and worn
A testament of time
And all,
They've drawn
They'll drain from your eyes
Your thoughts
Your moods
Are watched by all eyes
I'll wait tonight
And all
They draw
They'll drain from your eyes
Your thoughts
Your moods
Are watched by all eyes
And I'll wait
As your darkness falls
I'm overwhelmed with all they've drawn
Your eyes had depth from all the shit you saw
And when they take you back to life
We know its you but something isn't right
The lyrics of the song "All They Draw" by Kiss Kiss seem to speak about the passage of time and how it affects our appearance and voice. The first stanza talks about how the face that was once youthful and vibrant is now old and worn, becoming a monument of the time that has passed. The second stanza follows the same theme, talking about how the voice that was once youthful is now old and worn, serving as testament to time's passage. The chorus repeats the phrase "all they've drawn", which seems to be a metaphor for the way in which we are observed and measured by others. The lyrics speak to the idea that our thoughts, moods, and overall demeanor are watched by all, constantly being drained from our eyes.
The line "As your darkness falls, as death it brings new life" is particularly intriguing. It suggests that even as we age and our youth fades, there is a kind of rebirth that comes with death. The final lines of the song are particularly cryptic: "And when they take you back to life, we know it's you but something isn't right." This seems to speak to the idea that even though we may be reborn after death, we are not completely the same as we were before. There is something different about us that may not be immediately apparent.
