You are just a smoke and mirrors
A beautiful disguise
Just smoke and mirrors
Running out of lights
You are just a smoke and mirrors
A beautiful disguise
Just smoke and mirrors
running out of lights
you are just a smoke and mirrors
A beautiful disguise
Just smoke and mirrors
Running out of lights
You are just a smoke and mirrors
A beautiful disguise
Just smoke and mirrors
Running out of lights
You are just a smoke and mirrors
A beautiful disguise

Overall Meaning

of lights


"Smoke and Mirrors" by Jerome Isma-Ae & Alastor feat. London Thor is a song about a person who puts on a facade, trying to be someone they're not. The lyrics describe this person as just smoke and mirrors, a beautiful disguise that is running out of lights. Smoke and mirrors is a term often used to describe things that are deceptive or illusory, and in this song it is used to describe the false image that this person tries to maintain. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the point that this person is all surface and no substance.


The lyrics suggest that this facade is getting harder for the person to maintain as they are running out of lights. This could be interpreted in a number of ways - perhaps this person is losing the support of others because they are not being genuine, or maybe they are losing their own sense of identity because they have been pretending for so long. Whatever the case, the song seems to be urging the person to stop hiding behind the smoke and mirrors and to start being true to themselves.


Overall, "Smoke and Mirrors" is a powerful statement about the importance of authenticity and the danger of putting up false fronts. The lyrics are simple and direct, but they convey a message that is both universal and deeply personal.
