Smoke gets in your eyes
Osas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
I ofcourse reply
Something inside
Cannot be denied

They said some day you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You must realise
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them
And I gayly laughed
To think they could doubt
To think they could doubt my love

But today
My love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

But today my love has flown away
I am without
I'm without my love

And now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say




When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Osas's song Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, tell a story about a love that has now come to an end. The first stanza expresses the idea that the singer knows their love was true because they felt something inside that couldn't be denied. The second stanza goes on to say that some people think love is blind and that when your heart is on fire, you must realize that smoke gets in your eyes. The chorus is repeated twice in the song, and it talks about how a lovely flame dies, and smoke gets in your eyes.


The third stanza highlights how the singer laughed at those who doubted their love, but now their love has flown away, leaving them without their lover. The fourth and final stanza talks about how the singer's friends now make fun of them, and they can't hide their tears. However, the line, "when a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes," suggests that the singer still has love for their ex-lover, and that love is the reason why they can't hide their tears.

The minute you turned down that job you were set to be let go. You had to know that. One mistake and you'll be outside.

Both of them could no longer get jobs anymore and both ended up being the bums of silicon valley.
They ended up cornered by other people and beaten up brutally.
Later on they started blaming one another and fighting .

I think there were some undisclosed reasons why she turned the project down. But that is no reason for the shame vendetta the bosses instigated. Yes, maybe not offer her work intensive projects, but still let her contribute.
Makes me wonder what shady bits were involved in that project.
