Cigarette
OFFONOFF Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smoke up a glimpse of heaven
Smoke up a glimpse of heaven
I smoked two packs 'til the night
Sip on red wine I fall back
Can't stop this attraction
I can't see a thing
Laying with you I feel like
Moving clouds high in the sky
It's been too long since I realised you're real

Two heart come together
We were truly there
I fall down then I fall down
Puff of heaven, I feel like I'm in a day dream
I go up then I go up

I could, I could be there for you
I could, I could be the one to
I'd be your cigarette
I would, I would be your light and
I would, I would shine you brighter
Oh, I wish I be your last

Smoke up a glimpse of heaven
Smoke up a glimpse of heaven

She's got the dance floor hella lit then
She steps out for a cigarette
And I've been prayin' all night like god
She gives life to my world with a
Can I get a light
Ignite a match, she leans in to catch it
We're the only spark in the dark like a chandelier
With no ceiling but the sky
As the smoke from her lips bleeds into the atmosphere
No ashes here no dust
This moment is forever
Even though each puff will take us further from together
She'll have me until the very last drag
Come to think of it love is like a cigarette
Burning at the tip of it but quick to burn out
Like a cigarette It may get you sick
But you'll never get sick of it
So light one up now

I could, I could be there for you
I could, I could be the one to
I'd be your cigarette
I would, I would be your light and
I would, I would shine you brighter
Oh, I wish I be your last

I want you addicted to me
I was one of your cigarettes
The smell of your pastel breathing
Just make me love you even more
My love is on fire

I could, I could be there for you
I could, I could be the one to
I would, I would be your light and
I would, I would shine you brighter
I could, I could be there for you
I could, I could be the one to
I'd be your cigarette
I would, I would be your light and
I would, I would shine you brighter
Oh, I wish I be your last

I could, I could be there for you




I could, I could be the one to
I'd be your cigarette

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Cigarette" by OFFONOFF featuring Tablo and MISO weave together vivid imagery and metaphors that explore themes of romance, desire, and the duality of love. The repeated phrase “Smoke up a glimpse of heaven” serves as an opening metaphor for escape, making an allusion to the intoxicating nature of love, akin to smoking a cigarette. The act of smoking and the enjoyment of wine symbolize indulgence and a pleasurable high that the singer experiences when with their love interest. There's a sense of blissful disorientation, highlighted by phrases like “I can't see a thing” and “Moving clouds high in the sky,” suggesting that the singer feels both overwhelmed and euphoric dwelling in the intimacy of their partner's presence. The line “It's been too long since I realised you're real” emphasizes the transformative nature of love that renders everything surreal and magical.


As the song progresses into the second verse, the focus shifts to the connection between the two individuals: “Two hearts come together,” implying a deep bond that defies the constraints of time and reality. The description of falling and puffing of heaven reflects the ups and downs of a relationship that carries a certain dreamlike quality. This volatility mirrors the nature of love itself: sometimes it lifts us to incredible heights, and at other times, it pulls us down. Phrases like “I go up then I go up” suggest a cyclical nature of emotions, embodying the rollercoaster of love. The allure of being addictive, framed through the metaphor of being a cigarette, illustrates the passionate yet potentially destructive nature of infatuation. These sentiments resonate with the idea that love can be both a source of joy and pain.


The chorus furthers this metaphor by equating love to a cigarette, with words like “I’d be your cigarette” emphasizing the desire to be a fundamental part of the other person’s life, as cigarettes often become an addiction for many. The singer presents themselves as a source of light and warmth, aspiring to be the one who brings brightness into their partner’s life. However, this brightness carries a bittersweet undertone, as seen in the line “love is like a cigarette / Burning at the tip of it but quick to burn out.” This lyric captures the tragic yet alluring nature of fleeting romance, underscoring that while love can be intoxicating, it is transient and can lead to heartache. There's also an inherent risk in such dependency, mirroring how smoking can have harmful consequences, yet the singer acknowledges that people often find themselves drawn back to these harmful habits.


The imagery continues to evolve throughout the song, particularly when the narrative mentions a dance floor and a shared moment of ignition sparked by a cigarette. The connection is illuminated through the intimate details—the way the woman lights her cigarette, the attraction felt in that moment, and the notion that they are “the only spark in the dark.” This moment captures the essence of two people lost in their little world, untouched by the chaos around them. The final repetition of wanting to be the last cigarette accentuates a longing for permanence amidst the knowledge of love’s fleeting nature. It suggests a desire not just for love but for a lasting impact on one another's lives, evoking a sense of nostalgia and urgency. Ultimately, this song beautifully encapsulates the dichotomy of love: its ecstatic highs and inevitable lows, delivered through poetic visions of intoxication, addiction, and the poignant realization of transience.

I go up, then I go up

(I come down, then I come down)

I could I could be there for you
I could I could be the one to
I’d be, your cigarette

I would I would be your light and

She's got the dance floor hella lit. Then,

she steps out for a cigarette
(담배를 피러 잠시 밖으로 나가고)
and I've been prayin' all night
(난 오늘밤 계속 기도하고 있었어)
that like God, she gives life
to my world with a "Can I get a light?"

내 세상에 숨을 불어 넣어주기를)
Ignite a match.

She leans in to catch it.
(그녀는 불을 붙이려 몸을 내게 기운다)

@antisocial_fan1114

I was listening to this song and my Crush asked me out...I am so happy i feel like I'm in a daydream :))) im crying and smiling and jumping to this song at the same time, dont ask me:')))))
Update/Edit:after 2 months of getting to know eachother we are now dating im so happy this song means a lot to me. :)))
Update/Edit:Hi! So after 9months we are still together and it's like a dream we listen to this song together:''''))))
Update/Edit:Hi! It's 2020 guys Happy New Year we are still together and really happy! :)))) Today is the 418th day it's been over a year, I will cherish this song and Him till I die:))) (ik it's cheesy but I feel like I'm in a pink cloud)
Update/Edit:Hellouuu! So it's been exactly 480 days!!! Our relationship is still as good as it was if not better^^ nowdays we only get to FaceTime tho :( #quarantine so ye...
But this will end soon and I can't wait to dance to this song with him again
(≧◡≦)♡♫•*¨*•.¸¸♪
Edit/Update: Hey! A lot can happen/change in a small amount of time guys
Day 486. His latest actions, reaction and opinion made me question if I still want to continue this whole relationship. It's like he became numb, aka. I am doing the "work" instead of both of us. It hurts. Till something like this happens to you, you can't even imagine how bad it really feels. I hope this will be over with soon. Now I'm nowhere near dancing to this song I'm crying to it till I fall asleep.:'(
Never give up tho! :) We made up the next day :)))) You guys stay home and safe!
Early Update/Edit: Day 492 Noting feels the same I cry to this song almost every day :) "Love is like a cigarette burning at the tip of it but quick to burn to out" well I feel that I miss the old times....I hope we can fix this soon. My heart is in pain. Trying my hardest not to just give up....I believe that what once worked perfectly can be fixed it just depends on the people and ofc how serious the situation is. I have no one really to talk to about this so reading back the comments give me some temporary happiness Thank You. :')
Edit/Update: Day 543 WHOLESOME/CHEESY ALERT! You've been warned! :* Well I must say that fighting brought us even closer, caused me some damage even if I think of losing him I bowl my eyes out. BUT being afraid to lose each other even after a fight like this because we're so connected is weird or may sound weird, we have such a deep bond and not just the "I'm used to having you by my side". It's something I can't describe, "being in love" I finally know what it feels like from strangers to friends and then from friend's lovers&partners it's been a journey so far these times are even more emotional for everyone and he's going through it. I support him as much as I could as a friend and also as his lover I'm thankful and beyond grateful to have him he's a blessing. I'm glad we crossed each other's path and stuck together I hope we will stick together till the very end. I personally have never let anyone so near me and had such a strong connection to in my whole life so far. Take care and thanks for the super duper cute comments you guys leave<3333 Reading back the updates makes me feel all the emotions again and again it's an emotional rollercoaster. Thanks to you my Virtual Therapist I always have someone to share these situations with I'm so thankful!
(*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)~*:・゚✧
Edit/Update:Day 724
1st of all damn it's soon our 2 year anniversary....
Our relationship had been better and better, To be really honest I didn't think I can fall in love with someone so deep and even deeper than I thought I couldn't, So that new other than that we are both busy but I would say we spend a good chunk of our free time together whenever we can :))))
I don't feel great nowdays please remember that your significant other can listen but they don't have the qualifications to do everything and diagnose you /make your problems magically dissapear like in every teen love novel if you have issues with your mental health please please don't take it out on them in any way shape or form!!!!! Ofc other than cuddle therapy:3 Also if you notice that your significant other has issues please try to talk to them and get them to be open enough to get help themselves or be their guidance! Take care of yourself, your partner, your family, the ones you trust/adore and people around you! Stay safe and don't push yourself!
Oky?<33333 muchmuchmuchmuchloooove.

Smoke up a glimpse of heaven
Smoke up a glimpse of heaven

I smoked 2 packs till the night
Sip on red wine I fall back
Can't stop distraction
I can't see a thing

Laying with you I feel like
Moving clouds high in the sky
It's been too long since I
Realised you're real

Two hearts come together
We were truly there
I fall down then I fall down

Puff of heaven
I feel like I'm in a day dream
I go up then I go up

I could I could be there for you
I could I could be the one to
I'd be your cigarette
I would I would be your light and
I would I would
shine you bright
Oh I wish I be your last

Smoke up a glimpse of heaven
Smoke up a glimpse of heaven

She's got the dance floor hella lit
Then she steps out for a cigarette
and I've been prayin' all night like God
she gives life to my world with a
"Can I get a light"
Ignite a match
She leans in to catch it
We're the only spark in the dark
like a chandelier with no
ceiling but the sky
As the smoke from her lips
bleeds into the atmosphere
No ashes here no dust
This moment is forever
Even though each puff will take
us further from together
She'll have me
until the very last drag
Come to think of it love is
like a cigarette
Burning at the tip of it
but quick to burn out
Like a cigarette
it may get you sick
but you'll never get sick of it
so light one up now

I could I could be there for you
I could I could be the one to
I'd be your cigarette
I would I would be your light and
I would I would
shine you bright
Oh I wish I be your last

I want you addicted to me
I was one of your cigarettes
the smell of your pastel breathing
just make me love you even more
my love is on fire

I could I could be there for you
I could I could be the one to
I would I would be your light
I would I would
shine you bright

I could I could be there for you
I could I could be the one to
I'd be your cigarette
I would I would be your light and
I would I would
shine you bright
Oh I wish I be your last

I could I could be there for you
I could I could be the one to
I'd be your cigarette
