Smile
David Maxim Micic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fear is effortless, fear is blind
Crumbs of fear in our smiles
Stopped the train of feelings, forgot our hearts
Now we use our minds

Fear is sadness, fear is endless, it makes our skin peel
I give up, the phobia is real
I've been trying for too long, it doesn't work I can't stop this wheel,
Just one smile or just one tear, anything that makes them feel

Imagine you have just one moment,
Where would you place it, how would you give it?
Make those liquid emotions collide and loose your mind!

Racing time, out of body, disinclined,
Goals or life it's not easy to decide,
Frosted faces waiting in the line,
I'm trying to melt them. I try to make them smile.

Touch can leave a scar,
Lights can make you go blind,
I can't stop this wheel, just one smile or just one tear,
Anything that makes them feel alive

Imagine you have just one moment,
Where would you place it, how would you give it?
Make those liquid emotions collide and loose your mind!

Racing time, out of body, disinclined,
Goals or life it's not easy to decide,
Frosted faces waiting in the line,
I'm trying to melt them. I try to make them smile.

Znaš li šta ljudi ljube?
Svoja ogledala ljube,
Od užasa izgore kada spaze prve bore.
Borovi se ne boje svoje izborale kore.

This world has far to little,




ha hahaha haha hahaha,
hahaha haaaaa…

Overall Meaning

The song "Smile" by David Maxim Micic explores the theme of fear and the impact it has on individuals in society. The lyrics describe fear as something that is effortless and blind, subtly creeping into our smiles and causing us to forget our hearts. The fear is endless and can make our skin peel, leading to a phobia that is difficult to overcome. The artist acknowledges the struggle of trying to combat fear and the wheel it perpetually turns. The implication here is that fear operates like a cycle that is hard to break out of, but the smallest things; a touch, a smile, a tear, can potentially change everything.


The lyrics also call for a moment of realization, where we are asked to imagine having just one moment that makes us lose our minds. To free ourselves from the chains of fear, we must let our emotions collide, thereby breaking free from the burden. The lines "Racing time, out of body, disinclined, Goals or life it's not easy to decide" hint at the conflict human beings face; the struggle to balance life and goals with fear and uncertainty.

Znaš li šta ljudi ljube? Svoja ogledala ljube, Od užasa izgore kada spaze prve bore. Borovi se ne boje svoje izborale kore.
This is a Croatian verse that says, 'Do you know what people love? They love their mirrors. They burn with fear when they see their first wrinkle. The trees don't fear their bark.' This verse can be interpreted to say that humans are more afraid of how they look and how aging takes away their physical beauty, while nature creates beauty in imperfection.


This world has far to little, ha hahaha haha hahaha, hahaha haaaaa…
The song concludes by saying that the world has entirely too little to offer, and we need to find a way to connect with it and each other to find true happiness.
