Smile and Burn
Smile and Burn: Unraveling the Maze of Love and Rebellion
Lyrics
There's things you do and there's things you won't
Choices between actions you take and those you avoid
Touch with a 10 foot tool
Avoiding contact with a metaphorical "10-foot tool"
It's an uppercut, open shut
A powerful hit, a clear situation of being stylish
Case of being cool
Being cool is like a solved case
Well I was searching for you babe
Seeking someone in the wrong places
In all the wrong bars
Searching in inappropriate locations like bars
And I guess that I never learn
Failure to learn from past mistakes
If you cursed me straight to hell
Even if cursed, maintaining a positive facade
I'd have to smile and burn
Facing challenges with a smile, enduring pain
It's a double cross, drop a dime
A betrayal and betrayal again, causing a system overload
System overload
An overwhelming situation of betrayal
Well I was tryin' to find somebody who would hold my breath
Seeking someone to share burdens, possibly related to holding one's breath
You look like you 'bout to explode
The person seems ready to burst emotionally
My heart gets jumpy, my lips get dry
Physical and emotional reactions to anxiety
And I'm a nervous wreck
Feeling highly anxious and stressed
If you wanted my head on a platter
Willingness to sacrifice for someone else
I guess I'd be up to my neck
Being deeply involved or committed
Love is blind and the alley is dark
Love is irrational, and the situation is unclear and potentially dangerous
I don't see you anywhere
Unable to find the person in a difficult situation
I guess you'll show, and i'll know but
Anticipating the person's appearance, but uncertainty prevails
Til then you're just not all there
The person is not fully present until their actual arrival
Well It's a terminal tailspin
A situation spiraling out of control towards an inevitable end
And I hit the ground
Reaching a critical point and experiencing a sudden downfall
Not even sure where i went
Uncertainty about the journey and destination
If you wanted me wrapped 'round your little finger baby
Willingness to be controlled or influenced by someone
I guess I'd go get bent
Being willing to endure difficulties for someone's satisfaction
