Wet Cigarettes
Strawberry Milk Cult Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look like you′ve felt regret
I noticed long ago
That you've always had that sadness in your eyes
Like mine
I′m tired of feeling
"Yeah I'm not the only one"
All too well, it's said and done
I felt it breathe again
Wet cigarettes
I know that time is not your friend
He′ll rear his head at the end
I feel it coming and who knows what it′ll do
Happens to everyone but you think that it
Only does to you
I'm tired of feeling
"Yeah I′m not the only one"
I know this feeling
All too well, it's said and done
I felt it breathe again
Wet cigarettes
The lyrics to Strawberry Milk Cult's song "Wet Cigarettes" convey a sense of melancholy and regret. The singer of the song is speaking to someone who appears to be down and out, and they describe their appearance with phrases like "you smell like wet cigarettes" and "you look like you've felt regret." The singer notes that they have both always had sadness in their eyes, as if they share a common sense of pain.
The chorus of the song speaks to a feeling of weariness and exhaustion that the singer feels. They are tired of feeling like they are the only ones who understand this sense of sadness and they know that they aren't alone in their struggle. The line "I felt it breathe again / Wet cigarettes" is particularly poignant, as it conveys a sense of hopelessness and addiction.
In the second verse, the singer notes that time is not on their side and that they feel something coming that they are unsure of. This could be a reference to death or some other kind of loss, but the song leaves the meaning open to interpretation.
Overall, these lyrics paint a picture of someone struggling with addiction, regret, and a sense of hopelessness. The singer sees themselves in this person and wants to reach out, but they also feel trapped in their own pain.
