Cigarette

A Love Wrapped in Smoke: Majo Elli's Melodic Metaphor
Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Between the lips

Symbolizes the act of smoking

Oh between your teeth

Emphasizes the physical action of smoking

They say it's a metaphor

Refers to a symbolic representation

To die or to live

Contemplates the choice between life and death

Inhale all your love

Metaphor for absorbing love

Then trap it in your heart

To retain love within oneself

Slowly release it

Slowly letting out love, akin to exhaling smoke

With a breath

Releasing love with a breath

A sigh

Expressing love through a sigh

Huff it and puff it

Symbolizing the addictive nature of love

Oh the cigarette, love

Comparing love to a cigarette

Harmful yet enslaving

Describes love as harmful and controlling

Once you start

Implies difficulty in stopping love once started

There's no stopping

Continued struggle to cease loving

Huff it and puff it

Reinforces the addictive and enslaving nature of love

Oh the cigarette, love

Reiterates the comparison between love and a cigarette

Oh Oh you're my cigarette, love

Stating the person is akin to a cigarette

Everyone's addicted

Highlighting widespread addiction to something genuine

To something so real

Describing the allure of something real

One that could take away

Ability to alleviate inner pain

The pain from within

Incremental use to numb emotional pain

A little bit more

Indifference towards moderation

And a dash of that

-

I don't care baby

Expresses insatiability for love

I could never get enough

Continuous craving for love

Huff it and puff it

Reiterates the addictive nature of love

Oh the cigarette, love

Reiterates the harmful and controlling aspects of love

Harmful yet enslaving

Describes the addictive nature of love

Once you start

Portrays difficulty in ending the cycle of love

There's no stopping

Continued struggle to stop loving

Huff it and puff it

Emphasizes the addictive nature of love

Oh the cigarette, love

Reiterates the comparison between love and a cigarette

Oh Oh you're my cigarette, love

Stating the person is akin to a cigarette

Huff it and puff it

Reinforces the addictive and enslaving nature of love

Oh the cigarette, love

Reiterates the comparison between love and a cigarette

Harmful yet enslaving

Describes love as harmful and controlling

Once you start

Implies difficulty in stopping love once started

There's no stopping

Continued struggle to cease loving

Huff it and puff it

Reinforces the addictive and enslaving nature of love

Oh the cigarette, love

Reiterates the comparison between love and a cigarette

Oh Oh you're my cigarette, love

Stating the person is akin to a cigarette
