Your Painted Smile
Ephemeral Nights and Stolen Smiles: Bryan Ferry's Artistic Reflections
Lyrics
Too fast to live
Life is moving too quickly.
Too young to die
Youthful and not ready to face mortality.
One stolen babe
A reference to a stolen moment or a secret encounter.
A certain smile
Describing a smile that is distinctive and easily recognizable.
We never close babe
Emphasizing an environment that is always open and active.
We dance all night
Engaging in continuous dancing throughout the night.
I'm lost inside babe
Feeling disoriented or confused within the intense atmosphere.
Your painted smile
Referring to a smile that seems artificial or superficial.
The name of the place
Highlighting the importance of the location or setting.
The name of the place
Repeated emphasis on the significance of the place.
You'll never know babe
Acknowledging the impossibility of fully understanding someone.
The state I'm in
Describing an emotional or mental state of being.
It's a plastic world babe
Characterizing the world as artificial or lacking authenticity.
No tiger skin
Rejecting the use of exotic or ostentatious elements.
Don't talk to me
Requesting silence, possibly to reflect or concentrate.
Your perfume sighs
Not wanting to engage in conversation; focusing on sensory experiences.
I'm lost inside babe
Reiterating a sense of being lost in the intense atmosphere.
Your painted smile
Reemphasizing the enigmatic or artificial nature of the smile.
