Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
Damone Vic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 gaily laughed to think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away, I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide
(Smoke gets in your eyes, smoke gets in your eyes)
Smoke gets in your eyes
The lyrics to Damone Vic's song Smoke Gets In Your Eyes convey a sense of deep, intense love that is not universally understood by others. The singer is questioned by those around him about how he knows his true love is true, and his response is that there is something inside of him that cannot be denied. Others tell him that eventually he will realize that everyone who loves is blind. However, the singer knows that once your heart is on fire, you must understand that smoke will eventually get in your eyes.
Despite the doubts of his friends and the skepticism of others, the singer laughs and brushes it off, thinking that his love is unshakable. However, he soon realizes that his love has flown away and that he is without the object of his affection. Now, his laughing friends deride him and he cannot hide his tears. Instead, he puts on a smiling face and says that when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes.
The smoke mentioned in the lyrics could be interpreted as a metaphor for the pain and sadness that comes when a relationship ends. Even when love is real and true, it can still end in heartbreak, and that pain can be all-consuming. Overall, the lyrics to Smoke Gets In Your Eyes are a poignant reminder of the ephemeral nature of love and the pain that can come with it.

Nothing beat this pleasingly sounds of Vic Damone's vocal capabilites for all times, because we grew up with his and Perry's music. May his voice go on forever, Willem de Thouars.
