Smiling Faces Sometimes
Vee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within.
Smiling faces, Smiling Faces, Sometimes they don't tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof.
The truth is in the eye 'cause the eyes don't lie, amen.
Remember, a smile is just a frown turned upside down my friend.
So, hear me when I'm saying
Smiling faces, Smiling Faces, Sometimes they don't tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof.
Beware. Beware of the handshake that hides the snake,
I'm tellin' you beware of the pat on the back it just might hold you back.
Jealousy, (Jealousy) misery, (misery) envy.
I tell you you can't see behind
Smiling faces, Smiling Faces, Sometimes they don't tell the truth.
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof.
Your enemy won't do you no harm, 'cause you'll know where he's comin' from;
don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya.
Take my advice I'm only tryin' to school ya.
Smiling faces, Smiling Faces, Sometimes they don't tell the truth.
In Vee's song "Smiling Faces Sometimes," the lyrics reveal a deep distrust in people who outwardly appear friendly and trustworthy. The song warns against the deceptive nature of smiling faces, as they often conceal an evil lurking beneath the surface. It suggests that people should be cautious and not always believe the pleasant facade that others present.
The repeated phrase, "Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes they don't tell the truth," emphasizes the recurring theme and serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving. The lyrics urge listeners to be skeptical and not blindly trust those who smile, as they may be hiding their true intentions.
The line, "The truth is in the eye 'cause the eyes don't lie, amen," implies that one can discern the real nature of a person by observing their eyes. While a smile can be easily faked, the eyes are believed to reveal a person's true emotions and intentions.
The lyrics further caution against the deceptive acts of handshakes and pats on the back. They suggest that these friendly gestures may actually be insincere and manipulative, intended to hold someone back or deceive them.
Overall, the song paints a cynical portrayal of human nature, reminding listeners to be cautious and not always trust the smiling faces they encounter.
