Smokestacks
Layla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got blood orange skin
Are there's a spark in your centre that's piercing me in
I got a night-time shudder and a lion within
I got a brain-tricked hunger and you're pulling me in
High above the smokestacks
Throwing my soul
Throwing my soul
Hoping I will carry you (carry you)
Above the smokestacks
Throwing my soul
Throwing my soul
Taking our minds back
Hoping I will carry you (carry you)
Carry you home
You got a downtown fire
Like a shot in the dark
You got a mad beaming on you and a hot wide eyed spark
I got a body of wonder and an emerald mind
I'm on a luminous heavy to put gold in my eyes
High above the smokestacks
Throwing my soul
Throwing my soul
Quiet in jet black
Hoping I will carry you (carry you)
Above the smokestacks
Throwing my soul
Throwing my soul
Taking our minds back
Hoping I will carry you (carry you)
Carry you home
You got eyes so azure
You got blood orange skin
Are there's a spark in your centre that's piercing me in
I got a night-time shudder and a lion within
I got a brain-tricked hunger and you're pulling me in
In Layla's song "Smokestacks", the singer describes being entranced by someone. The lyrics use vivid imagery to create a picture of this person - their eyes are "azure" and their skin is "blood orange". The singer is drawn to them, feeling a "brain-tricked hunger" that is pulling them in. The song is about desire and the pull of attraction.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency in the way the singer describes their feelings. They have a "night-time shudder" and a "lion within". The person they are attracted to has a "mad beaming on you" and a "hot wide-eyed spark". There is a tension between these two characters that is fuelled by desire.
The chorus of the song talks about being "above the smokestacks", which could be interpreted both literally and metaphorically. It could refer to being on a high balcony or rooftop, looking down on the industrial scene below. But it could also symbolize a state of mind - being above the problems and stresses of daily life. The singer hopes that they will "carry you home", suggesting that they want to be with this person and escape the world around them.
