Smile
Gypsy Death and You Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Learn to grasp shattered light,
Through broken branches that touch the sun,
We drove miles in the dark and watched the sun light the sky,
I tried to reach inside of you,
And pull the emptiness

(The grimace gives me freedom, that smile locks in hiding)
Out of you, but there is those places untouched
(The grimace gives me freedom, that smile locks in hiding)




By the heart, unheard by the ears, but your smile reached places never imagined.

Overall Meaning

The opening line, "Learn to grasp shattered light," sets the tone for the rest of the song as it seems to suggest seeking beauty and hope amidst the wreckage of one's life. The following lines, "Through broken branches that touch the sun," evoke an image of life's struggles that ultimately lead to growth and strength. The next lines of the song take the listener on a journey of driving miles in the dark and watching the sunrise, perhaps suggesting the long and difficult journey towards finding happiness and inner peace.


The lyric, "I tried to reach inside of you, and pull the emptiness out of you," implies a deep emotional connection between two people. The idea of wanting to help someone heal and overcome their struggles is a common theme in music, but the line "but there is those places untouched by the heart, unheard by the ears" suggests that some pain may be so deep that it cannot be expressed or understood. However, the final line of the song, "but your smile reached places never imagined," reminds the listener that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and joy to be found.
