Get Yours
D.I.T.C. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Smoke gets in your eyes)
(Smoke gets in your eyes)

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true?
I of course replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind

When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gayly laughed
To think they could doubt my love

Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without, without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without, without my love (without my love)

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide

So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

(Smoke gets in your eyes)




(Smoke gets in your eyes)
(Smoke gets in your eyes)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D.I.T.C.'s song Get Yours are actually a cover of the classic song "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" by The Platters. The song is about a love that has now ended, and the pain that comes with it. The opening lines of "They asked me how I knew my true love was true?" suggest that the singer is trying to justify their love to others who doubt it. However, the next line reveals that this justification is not for others, but for the singer themselves, as they have an inner feeling that cannot be denied.


The next stanza of the song suggests a realization that love can cause blindness. "All who love are blind" could be interpreted as a warning given to the singer by their friends. However, it is not until the love has ended that the true meaning of these words become apparent to the singer. The lines "when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes" indicate that the pain that follows the end of a passionate love can be overwhelming and blinding, represented by the metaphor of smoke.


The final stanza suggests that the singer has moved on from the love that has now ended, but they are still not immune to the pain. They are trying to put on a brave face but are unable to hide their tears. The repetition of the title line "smoke gets in your eyes" throughout the song reinforces the idea that even after the love has ended, the pain and sadness linger on.

They asked me how I knew
They questioned my certainty


My true love was true?
Whether my love was genuine or not


I of course replied
I confidently answered


Something here inside
A feeling deep down within me


Cannot be denied
That cannot be overlooked


They said someday you'll find
They warned me


All who love are blind
Love can cause one to overlook flaws


When your heart's on fire
When you are deeply in love


You must realize
You need to comprehend


Smoke gets in your eyes
Love can distort perception


So I chaffed them and I gayly laughed
I teased them and laughed happily


To think they could doubt my love
As if they could have any doubts about my love


Yet today, my love has flown away
But now my love is gone


I am without, without my love
And I feel empty without it


Now laughing friends deride
My friends are mocking me


Tears I cannot hide
I can't keep my emotions concealed


So I smile and say
I force a grin and tell them


When a lovely flame dies
When a beautiful relationship ends


Smoke gets in your eyes
It's hard to view things clearly through sadness


Yet today, my love has flown away
But now my love is gone


I am without, without my love (without my love)
And I feel empty without it


Now laughing friends deride
My friends are mocking me


Tears I cannot hide
I can't keep my emotions concealed


So I smile and say
I force a grin and tell them


When a lovely flame dies
When a beautiful relationship ends


Smoke gets in your eyes
It's hard to view things clearly through sadness


(Smoke gets in your eyes)


(Smoke gets in your eyes)


(Smoke gets in your eyes)
