Everytime You Kissed Me

“Everytime You Kissed Me” by Pandora Hearts is a hauntingly beautiful song that delves into the depths of love, loss, and the bittersweet memories that linger. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that was once vibrant and full of hope, symbolized by the imagery of roses and everlasting bloom. The act of kissing, a tender and intimate gesture, evokes a sense of trembling vulnerability, akin to a child experiencing the world anew. This love is so profound that it becomes a part of the narrator’s very heartbeat, sweeter than any dream they could conjure.

As the song progresses, the tone shifts to one of melancholy and longing. The roses, once a symbol of their love, begin to die, representing the inevitable decay and pain that accompanies lost love. The winds and rain create a sense of isolation and coldness, emphasizing the narrator’s yearning for the warmth and closeness of their beloved. The darkness that falls signifies the end of a joyful era, replaced by memories and the hope for a brighter tomorrow. The silver dishes for memories and the singing for promises reflect a clinging to the past and the unfulfilled promises of the future.

The song’s climax is a poignant reflection on the duality of love and pain. The narrator’s heart, once filled with joy at every kiss, now feels pain and grief. The ruby tears symbolize the precious yet painful memories of their last words. Despite the sorrow, there is a sense of enduring hope and a dream of reunion. The narrator finds solace in the past, waiting for the day they can once again close their eyes together, under the stars and shaded by flowers. This song is a testament to the enduring power of love, even in the face of loss and despair.
