Kiss from a Rose
Northern Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
You became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
Baby, to me, you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
And if I should fall, will it all go away?
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
To me, you're like a growing, addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large, and the light that you shine can be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey





Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Northern Kings' "Kiss From A Rose" describe a powerful and passionate love that the singer feels for someone special. The first verse sets the stage with a vivid image of an isolated tower on the sea, which represents his loneliness before he met this person. She became the light on the dark side of him, filling the emptiness with love. The second verse speaks to the addictive nature of their love, and how it consumes him completely. He can't deny the intensity of his feelings for her, even if it may not be healthy for him to feel this way.


The chorus compares the person he loves to a kiss from a rose on the grey. This rose represents the beauty and sweetness of their love, which blooms and brings light to the darkness in his life. However, the more he gets of her, the stranger it feels, suggesting that their love is complex and he is still trying to understand it. The final verse repeats the themes of addiction and power that he feels for this person, but ends with a note of fear and uncertainty: if he should fall, will it all go away?


Overall, "Kiss From A Rose" is a poetic exploration of a deep and intense love, filled with evocative imagery and powerful emotions.


Line by Line Meaning

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
Once there was only sadness and darkness in my life, with no hope or light.


You became the light on the dark side of me
You brought hope and light into my life, where there was only darkness before. You are my savior.


Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill
Love is not a cure, but an addiction, a source of great pleasure and pain, but always worth it. It is a feeling not easily explained.


But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen?
You have such an impact on me that even the smallest things, like the snow, make me feel bigger and brighter. Your light shines so bright that even in the dark, it is visible.


Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
You are like a kiss from a rose on a bleak and colorless day, something unexpected, beautiful and out of the ordinary, that touches the heart and soul.


Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah
The more I get to know you, the more in awe I am of you, and the more my love grows, the more surreal it feels. You are simply amazing.


Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey
Now that you have blossomed into something even more beautiful and radiant than before, you have brought light into my life, where there was once only darkness.


I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
Your love has touched me in ways that are beyond words and has made life worth living again, like a rose blooming in the midst of a colorless world.


And if I should fall, will it all go away?
If I were to lose your love, would my life return to the bleakness it was before? Would everything in my life lose its colors and vibrancy again?


There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
Words cannot do justice to the depth and intensity of the feelings I have for you. You are everything to me, my source of strength and joy, and yet also my pain and suffering, all rolled into one.


To me, you're like a growing, addiction that I can't deny Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
My love for you is like an addiction, growing stronger every day, and I cannot resist it. I wonder sometimes if this is normal and healthy, but I cannot help how I feel. I need you in my life like an addict needs their fix.


Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Once again, I compare you to a rose, a symbol of beauty and grace, but one that stands out in the midst of darkness and sadness. You are my shining light.

The technical ability in this song is just amazing. Think of all the different sounds that had to come together to make this.Truly amazing.

The great thing with their covers is that they totally make them their own. They are different enough so you can love both without feeling like betraying one or the other !
