Shadow Of Your Smile
LARRIEUX AMEL Lyrics

The lyrics to LARRIEUX AMEL's "Shadow of Your Smile" offer an introspective take on the act of confessing one's love. The singer suggests that if she were in love with someone, she would repeatedly attempt to articulate her feelings, but would find herself tongue-tied and struggling to find the right words. In this state of apprehension, she would likely miss opportunities to express her love, until it was too late and the person she loved had disappeared from her life forever.

The song expresses a sense of frustration towards this aspect of human nature- the difficulty of communicating deep and vulnerable emotions- but it also contains a resigned acceptance of the situation. The fact that the singer imagines this scenario without it actually happening seems to suggest that it is a universal experience, and that there is a degree of inevitability to it. The repetition of the line "If I loved you" throughout the song adds to this sense of melancholy resignation- the singer is acknowledging that although she does not currently love this person, she can imagine the feelings of longing and regret that would come with failing to confess her love.

Overall, "Shadow of Your Smile" is a carefully crafted meditation on the complexities of human emotion, and the ways in which those emotions can both inspire and elude us.
