I was watching a movie the other day and this song played a couple of times. You're probably thinking I'm talking about Batman Forever but the film was actually a comedy called Vacation. Btw. Do you guys use film and movie interchangeably or there are right situations to use each? Anyway. After watching it, the song obviously got stuck in my head and I decided to listen it again and especially because of what it's sung in the chorus I solved to pay more attention to the lyrics. I for one think the song is a metaphor for a lonely, sad, depressive person in pain with no perspective whatsoever who find in love a reason to live. I've seen a few interpretations suggesting the song is actually about an addicted to cocaine. I'll paste the lyrics down below so you can come to your own conclusion.
There used to be a graying 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 gray.
Ooh, The more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.
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 gray.
Ooh, The more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose (on the gray)
...And if I should fall, it will all go away
I've been kissed by a rose (on the gray)
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 gray.
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 gray.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
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 gray.
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray.
