Smellin' Smoke
Love's Inferno: Unraveling the Smoky Tale of Passion's Flames
Lyrics
Well it ain't been the same since she came to town
Change occurred in the town since her arrival
And she bought herself a little house
She purchased a house
You say it ain't true but I busted you little after two tryin sneak out
Caught someone trying to sneak out around 2 AM
You say it's done and it's no more
Claiming it's over
But i'll settle the score for good
Intends to settle the score definitively
You're playing a game with gasoline and her little house is made of wood
Warning about playing with fire (metaphor for risky behavior)
Whether it's marlboros and your smoking a pack a day
Reference to smoking habits (marlboros) affecting daily life
Maybe diamonds either way your rings are starting to fade
Indicating signs of wear on rings, possibly due to lifestyle
Somebody's gotta take the heat that comes from y'all's burning flame
Someone has to bear the consequences of their intense relationship
Can't fight fire with fire but you can fight pain with pain
Suggesting using pain to counteract pain instead of retaliation
We both know there's only two ways it can go when you're smellin' smoke
There are only two outcomes when problems arise (metaphorically smelling smoke)
You always had a hard time quitting your bad habits
Acknowledging struggles with bad habits
This time I thought I'd lend a helping hand
Offering assistance in overcoming these habits
I moved your dirty laundry aside
Searching through personal belongings
Looked in your closet
Examining the person's closet
Found your lighter, your cigarettes and your wedding band
Discovering items associated with addiction and commitment
Whether it's marlboros and your smoking a pack a day
Reiterating the impact of smoking on personal life
Maybe diamonds either way your rings are starting to fade
Highlighting the physical toll on relationships
Somebody's gotta take the heat that comes from y'all's burning flame
Someone has to face consequences in their intense relationship
Can't fight fire with fire but you can fight pain with pain
Suggesting dealing with pain rather than retaliating
We both know there's only two ways it can go when you're smellin' smoke
Outlining limited outcomes when facing challenges (smelling smoke)
I'm watching it all go up in flames and I'd love to tell you
Witnessing the negative consequences unfold but without regret
I regret it but that wouldn't be the truth
Admitting the lack of regret for the unfolding situation
Whether it's marlboros and your smoking a pack a day maybe diamonds
Reiterating the impact of smoking on personal life
Either way your rings are starting to fade
Emphasizing the diminishing significance of the relationship
Somebody's gotta take the heat that comes from y'all's burning flame
Someone has to bear the consequences of their intense relationship
Can't fight fire with fire but you can fight pain with pain
Suggesting dealing with pain rather than retaliating
We both know there's only two ways it can go when you're smellin' smoke
Outlining limited outcomes when facing challenges (smelling smoke)
