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.
The Best Mistake
Kiss Kiss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That they've said
Has drifted towards the sun
Touched the surface and said
'I'm not the only one'
I was bored
So were you
The drama made was fun Years they've past
And we grew
Too far from times once loved
If all is lost
All is lost
As tears run down your cheeks
As you fill
Up your life
With men whose souls are weak
I don't care anymore
The loss has turned to hate
As i live Out my days
Blessed by the best mistake
The lyrics to Kiss Kiss's song The Best Mistake speak of a relationship that has gone sour, yet despite the bitter end, the singer seems to harbor no regrets. The song opens with the acknowledgement that the person being addressed has been accused of drifting towards the sun, a metaphorical reference to arrogance and overreaching. Perhaps they were too ambitious, too high-flying, too full of themselves. But then the singer points out that they are not the only one who has made this mistake.
The second verse speaks of how the relationship began for the two of them - out of boredom, seeking drama, and finding some sort of enjoyment in the chaos. But years have passed and they have grown distant, moving away from the good times they once shared. The singer seems to be saying that this relationship was built on a shaky foundation from the start, and perhaps it was doomed to fail from the beginning.
The chorus speaks to the aftermath of the failed relationship - tears, filling up your life with men whose souls are weak, and the realization that it's all lost. But then the singer has a change of heart, saying they don't care anymore and the loss has turned to hate. And yet, despite all of this, they acknowledge that the relationship was a mistake. In the end, the singer seems to be saying that even though this was a mistake, it was the best mistake they could have made, as it has shaped who they are today.
