Mona Lisa
Los Sinners Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile
Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art.

Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa?




Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art.
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Los Sinners' song Mona Lisa are a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci's iconic portrait of the same name. The song uses the portrait as a metaphor for the complexities of love and human emotion. The lyrics speculate about the meaning behind the painting's enigmatic expression and suggest that it may be a reflection of the subject's loneliness or heartbreak.


The song begins by describing the subject of the painting as a woman who has been named Mona Lisa by men. It then goes on to draw comparisons between the subject's elusive smile and the famous "mystic smile" of the painting. The lyrics suggest that the smile may be a way to hide a broken heart or to tempt a lover. The second verse ponders the many dreams that have been brought to the subject's doorstep but have been left unfulfilled.


The final verse of the song returns to the question of whether the subject of the painting is a real person or simply a cold and lonely work of art. The lyrics leave the question unanswered, suggesting that the Mona Lisa's true nature is a mystery that will never be fully understood.


Overall, Los Sinners' Mona Lisa is a poetic exploration of the human experience of love and the many layers of emotion that can be hidden behind a simple smile.
