Cigarettes In Her Eyes
VAGUE003 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could show you if I tried
I could do it if you like
But you′re not allowed to
Cigarettes in her eyes
I could show you if i tried
I could show you if you like
I hear it in your cold sweet breath
I hear it in your old regrets
X out your name
Then I refresh
Hop on a plane I would never move back
I hear it in your cold sweet breath
I hear it in your old regrets
I hear it in your cold sweet breath
I hear it in your old regrets
I hear it in your cold sweet breath
I hear it in your old regrets
I hear it in your cold sweet breath
I hear it in your old regrets
She got cigarettes in her eyes
I could show you if I tried
I could do it if you like
But you′re not allowed to
She got cigarettes in her eyes
I could show you if you tried
I could do it if you like
But you're not allowed to
Yeah, you call me
You calling me over
Calling me
Bet you calling me over
"Cigarettes in her eyes" is a metaphor used by VAGUE003 to describe a woman who is struggling with some sort of emotional distress. The idea is that her eyes are so clouded by her pain that they resemble the hazy, smoky appearance of a room filled with cigarettes. In the chorus, VAGUE003 is saying that he could help her see through the haze if he really tried, but there is some sort of barrier preventing him from doing so. This could be either the woman herself, who is perhaps resistant to his help, or some outside force that is preventing him from intervening.
The verses seem to be exploring the singer's own feelings of frustration and powerlessness in the face of this woman's struggles. He hears something in her "cold sweet breath" and "old regrets" that suggests she is not at peace with herself. The line "X out your name / Then I refresh / Hop on a plane I would never move back" is somewhat cryptic, but could be interpreted as the singer trying to distance himself from the woman--perhaps she reminds him too much of his own past struggles, or he feels like he is getting too emotionally involved.
Overall, "Cigarettes In Her Eyes" is a poignant and introspective examination of the pain and isolation that can come with struggling through difficult emotional times. VAGUE003 uses vivid imagery and suggestive lyrics to create a sense of atmosphere and mood that perfectly captures the song's themes.
