Mona Lisa
Mr. Whiz Lyrics

In Mr. Whiz's song Mona Lisa, he refers to the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, and speaks directly to the subject of the painting–the woman with the mystic smile. He acknowledges that men have given her the name Mona Lisa, and that her smile has become an enigma that has captivated people for centuries. He questions whether her lonely demeanor is a result of the isolation that comes along with being such an iconic work of art or if it is a reflection of a hidden sadness. He wonders if her smile is a way of luring in a lover or if it is a shield to hide her broken heart. The lyrics further suggest that over the years many people have come to her with dreams and aspirations, but they remain unfulfilled, hinting at the idea that she encapsulates the human psyche.

The song poses the question of whether the Mona Lisa is actually a living, breathing woman or simply a cold and lonely work of art. The lyrics delve into the psychological and emotional state of the woman behind the painting. The song highlights the everlasting mystery that has shrouded the painting for centuries and the enduring fascination it holds to this day.
