Incarnating (living a life in the human body) is without a doubt the soul’s power, pleasure, and pain an addiction the soul cannot deny, for so much is gained to advance the evolution of all souls. It is an epistle of love, if you will, of a soul expressing its love and addiction to incarnating and traveling the journey of awakening, again. This is a love song about the dance of life – the highs and lows alike.

Cddoula from North CarolinaExcerpt from my interpretation of the 'Kiss From A Rose' lyrics:.

'a light hits the gloom on the grave.' so true. now that i am old, the lyrics are so much deeper and so full of memory and loss. she was only 16 years old when killed and i never forget her even though i moved away and had a life. roses were always placed there and i brought a single rose to each visit. i went to her funeral and visited her grave on the anniversary of her death for years. she was the only casualty in the head on crash. when i first heard this song and its lyric kissed by a rose on the grave, it brought me back to the winter of 1968 when a dear girl friend of mine was killed as a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver.

But anyone who thinks a song as full as love as this could just be about cocaine is missing something. Yes, the 'snow' reference might be about drugs, as a side issue. Martin from EnglandDifficult to believe how many people simply don't get it.So it is your perception of what I'm saying rather than what I actually way that is the key.' 'The song is always larger in the listener's mind because with it they attach imagery which is relative to their own personal experience. 'I think it's the general vibe of what I'm saying that is important and not the exact literal translation,' he wrote. In lieu of lyrics, Seal wrote a screed on the subject that went with the album. He also says that his songs often mean more than one thing, so attributing a meaning would be too simplistic. Seal bucked convention by not including printed lyrics with the album, something he did because he didn't want to wash away anyone's interpretation. Seal has never explained what the song is about, offering only that there was 'some kind of relationship that inspired the lyrics.' One of the more mysterious songs ever written, there has been much speculation as to the meaning of 'Kiss From A Rose' - many think it has something to do with drugs, while others hear it as an expression of love or a journey to the afterlife.
