Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Love's Illusion: Unveiling the Bittersweet Dance of Hearts
Lyrics
They asked me how I knew
Responding to a question about knowing if love is genuine.
My true love was true
Assuring the authenticity of the speaker's love.
I of course replied
Confirming the feeling or intuition within.
"Something here inside
Expressing an undeniable internal sensation.
Cannot be denied"
Emphasizing an irrefutable emotion or truth.
They said someday you'll find
Suggesting that love's true nature might be realized later in life.
All who love are blind
Implying that those in love might overlook flaws or realities.
When your heart's on fire
During intense passion, one may not notice certain consequences.
You don't realize
Being oblivious to the negative outcomes or consequences of love.
Smoke gets in your eyes
Metaphorically, the pain or consequences of love become apparent.
So I chaffed and I gaily laughed
Reacting with a carefree and jovial demeanor despite doubts about love.
To think they would doubt my love
Confidence in love despite skepticism from others.
Yet today, my love has flown away
The present reality of losing the loved one.
I am without my love
Feeling the absence of the beloved.
Now laughing friends deride
Friends mock the speaker's emotions.
Tears I cannot hide
Uncontrollable display of sorrow.
So I smile and say
Putting on a facade to hide inner pain.
"When a lovely flame dies,
When a beautiful love ends, the pain becomes evident.
Smoke gets in your eyes."
Comparing the aftermath of lost love to tears clouding vision.
