SMOKE ALARM
Embrace Life's Rhythms: Savor Every Note, Every Moment
Lyrics
he said baby what’s the big deal
Asking why something is a big concern
feel what you wanna feel
Experience your emotions authentically
say what you’re gonna say
Express yourself truthfully
you’re gonna die one day
Reminder of mortality
for example I could kiss you
Acting on desire without condition
just because I want to
Acting on personal desire
what’s the difference if you turn away
Indifference to rejection due to inevitable mortality
I’m gonna die one day
Highlighting the finite nature of life
why do you waste your time
Questioning the importance of worrying about reputation
thinkin bout your reputation
Concern over one's image or status
trying to meet an expectation
Striving to meet societal expectations
wonderin what they’re gonna say
Worrying about others' opinions
when everyone you ever known
Highlighting mortality and the finite nature of life
is headed for a headstone
Reference to everyone's eventual death
I don’t wanna give the end away
Avoiding spoiling the future but acknowledging mortality
but we’re gonna die one day
Reiteration of the finite nature of life
your body is an animal
Comparison of the body's needs to an animal
doesn’t ask for much
Body's simplicity in desires
a little music and a soft touch
Minimal needs for contentment
why don’t you let it out to play
Encouragement to indulge in bodily pleasures
your heart is in a bird cage
Metaphorically depicting emotional suppression
singing in your chest
Describing emotions trapped and wanting release
you wanna shut it up, but give it a rest
Encouragement to let emotions flow freely
you’re gonna die one day
Reminder of mortality in connection to emotional expression
why do you waste your time
Questioning the worth of obligations
thinkin bout an obligation
Concern over fulfilling responsibilities
runnin from a confrontation
Avoiding confrontations due to mortality awareness
wonderin what you oughtta say
Wondering about appropriate actions
when everyone you ever known
Emphasizing mortality in relation to decision-making
is headed for a headstone
Reference to everyone's eventual death
I don’t wanna give the end away
Hinting at mortality without revealing the end
but we’re gonna die one day
Reiteration of the finite nature of life
so baby what’s the big deal
Questioning the importance of restrictions
if you wanna be free
Advocating for freedom
say what you wanna feel
Encouragement to express genuine feelings
and spend the night with me
Invitation to spend time together
I’m gonna take you up in my arms
Expressing affection and readiness to embrace
and if we must go down
Acceptance of potential downfall
we’ll go singin to the smoke alarms
Embracing life's uncertainties together
we’ll dance into the ground
Enjoying life till the very end
