Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Love's Deceptive Embrace: Unveiling the Veil of Smoke
Lyrics
They asked me how I knew
Reflecting on being asked about the knowledge of true love.
My true love was true
Confirming that the speaker's true love is indeed genuine.
I of course replied
Responding to the inquiry with confidence.
"Something here inside
Expressing an internal feeling suggesting authenticity.
Cannot be denied"
Asserting that a certain emotion or truth cannot be denied.
They said someday you'll find
Others warn that love can be blind in the future.
All who love are blind
Suggesting a generalization that those in love may overlook flaws.
When your heart's on fire
Referring to a passionate state of being in love.
You don't realize
Not realizing the consequences when deeply in love.
Smoke gets in your eyes
Metaphorically, acknowledging the impact when love fades or ends.
So I chaffed and I gaily laughed
Dismissively laughing at doubts about the authenticity of the speaker's love.
To think they would doubt my love
Expressing confidence in the strength of the speaker's love.
Yet today, my love has flown away
Realizing that love has ended or is no longer present.
I am without my love
Conveying a sense of emptiness or loss without the presence of love.
Now laughing friends deride
Describing the mocking attitude of friends towards the speaker's situation.
Tears I cannot hide
Acknowledging tears that cannot be concealed.
So I smile and say
Smiling and pretending to be fine despite inner emotional turmoil.
"When a lovely flame dies,
Reflecting on the aftermath of a once beautiful love.
Smoke gets in your eyes."
Metaphorically, expressing the lingering pain and sorrow after love's end.
