Cigarettes and Lies
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Complex Dance of Love in 'Cigarettes and Lies'
Lyrics
Soon, soon you'll sing it out loud
Anticipation of someone expressing themselves vocally in the near future.
You gotta stop before you go and let me down, yeah
Advising someone to cease actions that might lead to disappointment or betrayal.
Soon, son you'll sing it out loud
Repetition of the expectation that someone will soon vocalize their thoughts or feelings.
You gotta stop before you go and let it down, yeah
Reiteration of the caution to halt actions that could result in disappointment.
And too many times have you shut me out
Expressing a feeling of being excluded or ignored multiple times.
Don't you want to come and play
Invitation or desire for someone to join in and have fun.
I've seen you too many times a day
Observation of encountering the person frequently throughout the day.
When we go we fight to be sure
Reference to conflicts or disagreements when together, emphasizing the effort to resolve them.
See, I can't leave you alone
Personal inability to stay away from the person being addressed.
Maybe, baby, maybe, maybe we could go into the sun
Suggesting the possibility of a positive experience or relationship, symbolized by going into the sun.
Every little baby, makes me feel I've won, yeah
Feeling victorious or successful with the presence of a special person, particularly a child ("baby").
I said maybe, baby, maybe, maybe we could go into the sun
Repetition of the idea that a positive experience could be achieved by going into the sun.
Every little maybe makes me feel I've won, oh
Reiteration of the positive feeling of winning or success associated with possibilities ("maybe").
Soon, soon you'll sing it out loud
Restatement of the expectation that vocal expression will occur soon.
You gotta stop before you go and let it down, yeah
Reiterating the advice to avoid actions that could lead to disappointment.
Soon, son you'll sing it out loud
Continuation of the expectation that vocalization will take place in the near future.
You gotta stop before you go and let it down, yeah
Repeating the caution against actions that might result in letting someone down.
And too many times have you shut me out
Reiteration of the feeling of being excluded or ignored on multiple occasions.
Maybe, baby, maybe, maybe we could go into the sun
Restating the idea of potentially experiencing a positive situation by going into the sun.
Every little baby makes me feel I've won, ahh
Reiterating the sense of victory or success associated with the presence of a special person.
I said maybe, baby, maybe, maybe we could go into the sun
Emphasizing the possibility of a positive experience by going into the sun.
Every little maybe makes me feel I've won, oh
Repeating the positive feeling linked to potential possibilities ("maybe").
