Smoking Gun
Unveiling the Dark Lure: Seduction and Betrayal in "Smoking Gun
Lyrics
Something caved in this heavy town
Something significant has deteriorated in this town.
’Cause I’ve been sinking my teeth in for years
The speaker has been deeply involved or committed for a long time.
Chain smoke from noon ’til one, with smoking gun and a silver tongue
Engaging in continuous smoking and questionable activities, symbolized by a "smoking gun" and a persuasive manner.
Where you from? Where you from?
An inquiry about the origin or background of someone.
I sold your soul that night
The speaker metaphorically traded or compromised someone's integrity during a night under the moonlight.
Under the soft moonlight
Actions took place in a gentle, subdued moonlight setting.
You’re falling, you’re falling
The person referred to is experiencing a decline or downfall.
Drink another whisky, feel alive
Suggesting the numbing effect of alcohol to escape or feel more alive.
Cruel to be kind, I bide my time
Being harsh or unkind for a good reason, waiting patiently.
Yeah, you’re falling, you’re falling
Reiteration of the person's falling, emphasizing the decline.
Shame on me for my mistakes
The speaker acknowledges their own faults and regrets.
But shame on you, you brought the bug in too, and you know it’s true
Blaming the other person for introducing problems, with a recognition of truth.
Shaman can’t heal all your wrongs
A shaman, symbolizing spiritual guidance, cannot fix all the person's mistakes.
Pray your blessings won’t come at all
Wishing that blessings or good things won't come due to the person's actions.
Anymore, yeah
An expression of the speaker's emotional state, perhaps indicating no more tolerance.
I sold your soul that night
Reiteration of compromising someone's integrity under moonlight.
Under the soft moonlight
Restating the setting of actions under a gentle moonlight.
You’re falling, oh, you’re falling
Emphasizing the person's continued decline or fall.
Drink another whisky, feel alive
Suggesting another attempt to escape reality with alcohol.
Cruel to be kind, I bide my time
Reiteration of being harsh or unkind, waiting patiently for the right moment.
Yeah, you’re falling, you’re falling
Emphasizing the ongoing decline or fall of the person.
