Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Love's Illusion: Unveiling the Poignant Tale Behind 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes'
Lyrics
They asked me how I knew
Expressing that someone inquired about the speaker's knowledge.
My true love was true
Affirming the truthfulness of the speaker's love.
I of course replied, something here inside
Responding that an internal feeling confirms the love's authenticity.
Cannot be denied
Emphasizing the undeniable nature of the internal feeling.
They said someday you'll find
Suggesting a future realization that love can make one oblivious.
All who love are blind
Implies that those in love may overlook faults due to their emotions.
When your heart's on fire, you must realize
When passionate, one must recognize the consequences.
Smoke gets in your eyes
Metaphorically stating that confusion or regret occurs when love fades.
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
Mocking others' skepticism about the speaker's love.
To think they could doubt my love
Expressing amusement at doubters of the speaker's love.
Yet today my love has flown away
Revealing the current absence of the speaker's love.
I am without my love
Stating the speaker's emotional state without their beloved.
Oooh ooh ooh
Using vocalizations to convey emotional distress and sorrow.
oooh oooh ooh
-oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
-oooh ooh ooh ooh
-Now laughing friends deride
Describing the ridicule from friends while tears are concealed.
Tears I cannot hide, hide
Highlighting the inability to hide the emotional pain.
So I smile and say, when a lovely flame dies
Smiling while acknowledging that when a beautiful love ends, sorrow follows.
Smoke gets in your eyes
Reiterating the theme that emotional pain manifests as "smoke in your eyes."
Smoke gets in your eyes
Repeating the idea that the aftermath of lost love is like smoke in one's eyes.
