Smoke
Andre Tajchman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Across the river
I stand Away from the light
Away from the sounds
I turn away from this town
Burning to the ground
Bridges going down
I cannot be contained
Your love is blinding
I've never been afraid
To walk alone
And all the faces,




they don't Look into my eyes
No more

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Andre Tajchman's song Smoke paint a picture of isolation and detachment from society. The singer stands across the river, away from the light and sounds of a town that is burning to the ground with bridges falling. He turns away from the chaos and destruction, unable to be contained within it. The only thing that blinds him is the love he feels, but it does not scare him to walk alone. The faces he sees do not look into his eyes anymore, emphasizing how alone he feels in this world.


The song can be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling disconnected from the world around you. It's about wanting to escape the chaos and pain of life and find a quiet place to gather your thoughts. At the same time, it highlights the need for human connection and how losing it can leave you feeling like an outsider. The lyrics are beautifully crafted with poetic language that makes the listener feel the singer's emotions.


Line by Line Meaning

Across the river
I am on the other side of the river


I stand Away from the light
I am standing in the dark or in a place with little light


Away from the sounds
I am far away from any surrounding noise


I turn away from this town
I am leaving or avoiding this town


Burning to the ground
The town is on fire and being destroyed


Bridges going down
The bridges in the town are collapsing or being destroyed


I cannot be contained
I am free and cannot be restricted or controlled


Your love is blinding
Your love is overwhelming and all-consuming


I've never been afraid
I am fearless and unafraid


To walk alone
I am comfortable and confident walking alone


And all the faces,
Everyone I meet,


they don't Look into my eyes
they avoid making eye contact with me


No more
This has happened repeatedly and now it's become normal

It's like so good, but not at the same time. There's just something I don't love about it. I want too love it, but I feel like as soon as I am into it changes slightly and I am not vibing on it anymore.
