Another Smoke
Lost and Found in Smoke: Discovering the Heart's Maze
Lyrics
Will your heart
Expressing a question about the willingness of the heart.
Open wide to see
Suggesting the need for openness and perception.
Do you have any room for someone
Asking if there is space in the heart for the speaker.
Like me?
Expressing uncertainty about being accepted.
Well we'll see
Indicating a wait-and-see attitude.
I'll take it slowly
Committing to a gradual approach.
Now my cigarette is getting low
Noting the diminishing cigarette, possibly symbolizing time passing.
And I have another to smoke
Stating the presence of another cigarette to smoke.
But I won't
Expressing a decision not to smoke the next cigarette.
Where do you go to find yourself?
Pondering the destination for self-discovery.
Are you in the market for lending help?
Questioning if the listener seeks assistance.
Somewhere on my stay
Referencing a location where the speaker stayed.
I lost my way
Admitting to losing one's way at some point.
So I make it up
Creating a narrative of improvisation.
Try to shake it up
Attempting to change or liven things up.
It shouldn't take wasting finite time
Reflecting on the value of time and the need for awakening.
For me to start waking up
Acknowledging the delayed realization.
Why am I not shaping up?
Questioning personal improvement.
Maybe I'm not fake enough
Suspecting a lack of authenticity.
Will this include that masquerading stuff?
Raising a question about superficial behavior.
Will your heart
Repeating the initial inquiry about the openness of the heart.
Open wide to see
Reiterating the need for a wide-open heart.
Do you have any room for someone
Restating the question about space for the speaker.
Like me?
Reemphasizing uncertainty about acceptance.
Well we'll see
Repeating the wait-and-see attitude.
I'll take it slowly
Reaffirming a commitment to a gradual approach.
Now my cigarette is getting low
Reiterating the diminishing cigarette, suggesting the passage of time.
And I have another to smoke
Reasserting the presence of another cigarette to smoke.
But I won't
Reaffirming the decision not to smoke the next cigarette.
Where should we go
Pondering the destination or decision-making process.
I wanna know
Expressing a desire to know the listener's thoughts.
Do you think of me like
Posing a question about the listener's thoughts towards the speaker.
I do you oughta know
Asserting that the listener should be aware of the speaker's feelings.
I watch you
Observing the listener's actions and behavior.
Do the things you do
Noting the listener's actions, possibly with a hint of disapproval.
With attitude
Describing the speaker's emotional state while observing the listener.
I sing the blues
Expressing a state of melancholy or sadness through singing the blues.
Because of you
Attributing the blues to the influence of the listener.
I'd lose half of me
Conveying a sense of potential loss or sacrifice in the relationship.
By losing you
Highlighting the impact of losing the listener on the speaker.
There's no need to go
Suggesting that there's no need to proceed or continue.
On second thought I think I'll have
Contemplating the decision to indulge in another smoke.
That other smoke
Deciding to have another smoke, possibly as a coping mechanism.
