Lyrics
My friend
Addressing a friend
Has got
Possessing
A smoke and mirrors heart
Having a deceptive and elusive nature
A room full of mirrors heart
A heart that creates illusions and falsehoods
Reflects upon
Engaging in self-reflection
Herself always
Consistently contemplating her own existence
Reflects upon
Continuing the theme of self-reflection
Herself always
Emphasizing the perpetual self-focus
Blue smoke
Reference to mysterious or elusive qualities
On every note
Symbolizing an enigmatic essence with "blue smoke"
Blue smoke
Reiteration of mysterious qualities with musical metaphor
On every note
Continuation of the theme of enigma in musical expression
Blue, blue
Repetition for emphasis, possibly expressing sadness or melancholy
A grain
A small amount
Of gold
Symbolic representation of value or preciousness
In a husk
Encased in
Of thick perfume and cigarettes
Describing an atmosphere with rich scents and smoking
Of frankincense and cigarettes
Specifically mentioning fragrances like frankincense
Reflects upon
Resuming the theme of self-reflection
Herself always
Continuing the idea of constant introspection
Reflects upon
Reiterating the perpetual self-focus
Herself always
Emphasizing the ongoing self-contemplation
Blue smoke
Recurrence of the "blue smoke" metaphor in musical context
On every note
Reiteration of mysterious qualities in musical expression
Blue smoke
Continuation of the theme of enigma in musical notation
On every note
Expressing mysterious essence through musical representation
Blue, blue
Repetition of "blue" for emphasis, possibly indicating depth or intensity
The ground
The surface beneath
Beneath your feet
Symbolizing a perceived reality
Is imagined
Not real, existing only in imagination
It's imagined
Reiteration of the imaginary nature of the ground
