Batman
Seal 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't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooo, 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't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooo, 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
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't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooo, 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





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

Overall Meaning

Seal's song "Kiss from a Rose" is a powerful love ballad with lyrics that are both poetic and evocative. In the first verse, he describes a lonely tower on the sea that is illuminated by his lover's presence. He compares their love to a drug that gives him a high, but also acknowledges that it can be addictive and overwhelming. The chorus, which is perhaps the most recognizable part of the song, compares his lover to a kiss from a rose on the grey. The lyrics are enigmatic, but suggest a connection that is both beautiful and strange, with a curious mix of pleasure and pain. The second verse continues the theme of the addictive nature of love, and the way that it can dominate and transform a person's life. The chorus repeats, with slight variations, before leading to the powerful final lines where he says that now that his lover's rose is in bloom, it illuminates the gloom.

Lyrics in espanol por Kathy [Verso 1]
Solía ​​haber una torre grisácea sola en el mar
Te convertiste en la luz en el lado oscuro de mi
El amor sigue siendo una droga que es la alta y no la píldora

[Pre coro]
Pero sabías que cuando nieva
Mis ojos se vuelven grandes y
La luz que brillas no se puede ver?

[Coro]
Cariño, te comparo con un beso de una rosa en el gris
Ooh, cuanto más obtengo de ti, más extraño te parece, sí
Y ahora que tu rosa está en flor
Una luz golpea la penumbra en el gris

[Verso 2]
Hay tanto que un hombre puede decirte
Tanto que él puede decir
Tú eres mi poder, mi placer, mi dolor, bebé
Para mí, eres como una creciente adicción que no puedo negar
¿No me dirás que es tan saludable, cariño?

[Pre coro]
Pero sabías que cuando nieva
Mis ojos se vuelven grandes y
La luz que brillas no se puede ver?

[Coro]
Cariño, te comparo con un beso de una rosa en el gris
Ooh, cuanto más obtengo de ti, más extraño te parece, sí
Y ahora que tu rosa está en flor
Una luz golpea la penumbra en el gris

[Puente]
Me besó una rosa en el gris
Yo, he sido besado por una rosa en el gris
Yo ... (y si debería caer en el camino) ... me ha besado una rosa en el gris
Yo, he sido besado por una rosa en el gris

[Verso 2]
Hay tanto que un hombre puede decirte
Tanto que él puede decir
Tú eres mi poder, mi placer, mi dolor
Para mí, eres como una creciente adicción que no puedo negar, sí
¿No me dirás que es tan saludable, cariño?

[Pre coro]
Pero sabías que cuando nieva
Mis ojos se vuelven grandes y
La luz que brillas no se puede ver?

[Coro]
Cariño, te comparo con un beso de una rosa en el gris
Ooh, cuanto más obtengo de ti, más extraño te parece, sí
Y ahora que tu rosa está en flor
Una luz golpea la penumbra en el gris
Sí, te comparo con un beso de una rosa en el gris
Ooh, cuanto más obtengo de ti, más extraño te parece, sí
Y ahora que tu rosa está en flor
Una luz golpea la penumbra en el gris

Hope Val Kilmer continues to fight his way through cancer. It's sad how he lost his voice. Watching this movie, Real Genius, Prince of Egypt, Top Gun, The Doors and Top Secret, he's definitely underrated.

Rock on, Val. Hope you continue to make a good recovery. You are great as Batman.

Jordan Sweet

I tear up in Top Gun everytime now.
You can be my wingman anyday,Iceman.

Maria das Graças Ferreira Mafra

O Val é sensacional!

Damian Kelly

I loved him in all of those movies but my favorite V.Kilmer role3 was in ''HEAT'' with Robert De Nero&Al Pacino....

The Sedaiv

Val Kilmer was very hard to work with. Most don't think his talent was worth it. I think it was. It was heartbreaking to see Iceman unable to speak properly in Top Gun: Maverick. I'm glad he beat cancer, and I hope he continues to kick cancer's ass.

EPICS -rag

Its crazy . He was amazing as batman but the movie is misunderstood
