So when he snorts cocaine the effects of it makes him feel that way. "The light" metaphorically means awareness, consciousness, and clarity. Things seem clearer to you, make you more aware. When you snort cocaine, It feels like it expands your mind.
Think about this as the effects of drugs in general. When people take a huge hit cocaine, the immediate reaction is that theie eyes pop open very wide.Īnd the last part, " the light that you ( the cocaine) shines can be seen" When when he says "snows" it means these is lots of cocaine. "Don't you know, when it snows, my eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen"Īnother name for cocaine is snow. It's that gray area that drug addicts deal with. He wants to kick the habit but it's a tough thing for him because it's bittersweet. People he's talking about a woman and also his cocaine addiction, and his struggles with it. Hope you agree with what I had to say and enjoy the song as much as I. I love the song and listen to it all the time. The song does reference them but is basically putting it as " Your Love is intoxicating and better than any drug". Like the others said it doesn't have to do with drugs. With her there she shines the light that breaks through the cloudiness and makes it possible to see a bright future ahead. Think of the snow as metaphorical (or symbol) of his life and thoughts being clouded/ or grey.
The part about the snow if you look at the rest of the song obviously means everything he has been saying. Power to keep pushing forward, Pleasure to be around and with, and Pain that sometimes happens to even the best of us in a relationship. The whole meaning to the song without me piecing out out is that she is everything to him.
#Seal kiss from a rose plus
plus I seen an interview with him where he said the same thing. I just listened to this song and if you listen to the lyrics it is gray not grave. Think about this interpretation when you next listen to this marvelous love song. But in the end realizes the Kiss from a Rose illuminates all gloom. Man often struggles putting feelings into words but recognizes everything in life, his power, his pleasure & his pain, emanates from his relationship & sometimes questions not being in better control of his feelings. The feeling is like that of a drug, and exampled where no matter the desolate circumstances faced by man, signified by cold snow, a woman's love like the bloom of a rose shines through any gloom facing man. The single rose, presenting itself by growing on the grey outside the castle in view of the graying tower, is that ultimate moment in man's life where he recognizes the light of his life, -that special woman willing to share even the most dismal of circumstances to be with him. The graying Tower symbolizes man and his life's quest to find that special love which when realized is the most meaningful thing in life. This entry verse is what makes this song so great!! The song begins by relating that there used to be a tower standing alone until "YOU" became the light on the dark side of "ME". The grey, (with an e) is a term used to describe the grounds extending out from the castle walls, so named because this area is typically desolate & devoid of life except for scrub plants. The setting is a Medieval Castle with a protruding graying tower standing alone beyond the fortified castle walls. Don’t just throw it in a corner, because you may be throwing away the best thing that could ever happen to you.I hate when this beautiful symbolic song is not realized as it should be. But go back and give it a listen, rewrite and rewrite if you have any faith in your idea at all. If a song doesn’t initially knock you out, put it aside for a minute, a day, a year. The point here, though, is that we should never doubt our creativity and original music. We’ll just have to keep guessing, because Seal told that same website, “I have avoided explaining these lyrics for over 25 years. The words are somewhat cryptic, especially the lines about a “greying tower,” and the Internet is rife with opinions about what it all means, from growing old to some type of drug reference. Seal’s singing here is powerful yet vulnerable, and when a lyric about a rose was combined with a great melody against great chord changes and strings, it was bound to be romantic by default. Of course I love it now and I am just so appreciative of the fact that I have a song like that, that most people love.” I realized it just wasn’t a song from a tape in the corner when I was picking up Grammys for it. He turned that tape from my corner into another 8,000,000 record sales and my name became a household name. “To be honest, I was never really that proud of it, though I like what Trevor did with the recording.
