The Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
Embracing Change: A Symphony of Colors and Frozen Moments
Lyrics
Okay
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment.
Take your ear off of the door
Advise to stop eavesdropping.
I dyed my hair and you cut yours
Changes in appearance symbolized by hair dye and a haircut.
You could smell the blood in the coral reef
Metaphorical description of a disturbing atmosphere.
Mixed with silver jewelry
Details about the unsettling environment, mixing beauty with discomfort.
And everybody knows now's the right time
Recognition of the opportune moment.
But you wait a few days trying to turn the tides
Delaying action despite knowing the right time.
Is it too late now
Questioning if an opportunity has passed.
It's too late now
Acknowledging it's indeed too late.
Is it too late now
Reiteration of missed chances or regrets.
Cigarettes through the moonroof
Imagery of smoking, potentially symbolic of regrets.
Just like in the movies that I made you watch
Reference to shared experiences through movies.
Time's almost up you gotta power through
Urgency in facing challenges as time runs out.
But the seconds pass so slowly when you're staring at the hour hand
Perception of time slowing down during difficult moments.
The smoke gets in your eyes
Metaphorical effect of challenges or regrets on one's perspective.
The ivy covers more of the walls inside
Symbolic representation of growth and change within the mind.
Of your mind every time
Repetition of the mind as a battleground for personal struggles.
That you try to hide
Struggling to conceal one's emotions or true self.
From the colors that are changing all around you
Acknowledging the changing circumstances around oneself.
Are you ready
Asking if one is prepared for the forthcoming changes.
Alright, and action
An encouragement or signal to begin an action or performance.
Count your friends on one hand
Suggesting a limited number of trustworthy friends.
And how many times I've
Reflection on happiness or positive experiences.
Smiled this month on the other
Comparison of positive experiences over a defined period.
Fishing on a frozen lake
Engaging in an activity during a challenging or stagnant phase.
Cut a hole in the ice and stick your
Symbolic act of breaking through difficulties.
Head in the freezing water
Metaphorically immersing oneself in challenging situations.
Bike ride at 4 a.m
Engaging in an activity during an unusual time, potentially reflecting restlessness.
Waiting for a text again, one that you'll never send
Anticipation and longing for a message that may never come.
But I'm still waiting
Continued waiting despite uncertainty.
Crosshairs cover the chains on my neck and I'm
Imagery of being targeted or pursued, possibly metaphorical.
Slipping on the ice behind you
Struggling or faltering behind someone or something.
But you're still figure skating
Continuing to excel despite challenges or difficulties.
その時私は
Japanese text, potentially an additional layer of meaning or emotion.
彼女に惚れたのである
More Japanese text, indicating a personal connection or emotion.
Okay
Reiteration of agreement or acknowledgment.
The smoke gets in your eyes
Reiteration of the metaphorical impact of challenges on perception.
The ivy covers more of the walls inside
Continued growth or change within the mind.
Of your mind every time
Repetition of the inner struggles and attempts to conceal.
That you try to hide
Reiteration of the changing circumstances and the need to hide.
From the colors that are changing all around you
Repeated acknowledgment of challenges impacting perception.
The smoke gets in your eyes
Continued metaphorical impact of challenges on perspective.
The ivy covers more of the walls inside
Persistent growth and change within the mind.
Of your mind every time
Repeated struggles to conceal emotions or true self.
That you try to hide
Continued acknowledgment of changing circumstances around oneself.
From the colors that are changing all around you
Reiteration of the need to hide from the evolving world.
