Tamino - Cigar - Lyrics

Cigar - Tamino - Lyrics

You, look at me now, with those hollow eye sockets and smile
And it seems all a lie, what they've told me so far
And you, show me that life isn't all about extending your time
no, it's the perfect time for a bottle of wine
Why do I still care about all who might recall me
For everything dies, so does memory
And why, am I still surprised, about all who pray their sins away
Aren't they too a part of this grand ballet
When time occurs, don't make it right
Don't make me right, it's me to decide: this or that side
I need your word, leave it aside
Just don't make me right, it's me to decide: this or that side
Some people never know where to head
They use their goals in an endless game of Russian Roulette
Well alive or dead, they have been mislead
Some people would rather not exist, they put a gun to the heart or a knife to the wrist
Sometimes I think they're smart, then I want on their list
But then she kisses my skin, I don't know what this is or where to begin
This fills me up with bliss, I wish this wasn't a dream
And she shows me that life, isn't all about explaining your time
no it's the perfect time, to lay all night
When time occurs, don't make it right
Just don't make me right, it's me to decide: this or that side
I need your word, leave it aside
Just don't make me right, it's me to decide: this or that side
Death suits you dear sir, like a beautiful coat, but then without all the fur
I wonder would it fit me? What's your opinion Monsieur?
You look at me now with that burning cigar hanging out of your mouth
And it seems all a lie, what they've told me so far

If you shift your idealism toward philosophy while listening to these lyrics and envision "you" being the shadow self and all of our fears within the confines of morality and watch the process of accepting our fate to inevitably die, you can see the shift as "she" or wisdom is attained through this level of integration and it just makes the song 1000x better to me.

You, look at me now
With those hollow eye sockets and smile
And it seems all a lie
What they've told me so far

And you, show me that life
Isn't all about extending your time
No, it's the perfect time for a bottle of wine

And why, do I still care?
About all who might recall me
For everything dies, so does memory
And why, am I still surprised?
About all who pray their sins away
Aren't they too a part of this grand ballet?

When time occurs
Don't make it right
Don't make me right
It's me to decide
This or that side
This or that side

Death, suits you dear sir
Like a beautiful coat but then without all the fur
I wonder would it fit me?
What would you have me prefer?

You know some people'd rather not exist
They put a gun to the heart or a knife to the wrist
We ought to think they aren't smart
It could be something I missed

Right then, she kisses my skin
I don't know what this is or where to begin
This fills me up with bliss
Don't tell me this was a dream
And she, shows me that life
Isn't all about explaining your time
No, it's the perfect time to lay all night

When time occurs
Don't make it right
Don't make me right
It's me to decide
This or that side

I need your word
Leave it aside
Just don't make me right
It's me to decide
This or that side
This or that side
This or that side

You, look at me now
With that burning cigar hanging out of your mouth
And it seems all a lie
What they've told me so far

The words are deep as I expected. Even more nuanced that I thought.

[laurencamila]

people really drop poetry books, as a profession, that don't come even close to the experience that is reading these lyrics

[vlntnalsk]

one of the best song writers of our time 🤍

[gharbimahdi]

wrong lyrics 1:58 to 2:01, it's "What would you have me prefer" and not "What do you think I'd prefer"

[Dia.naskll]

DEATH, SUITS U DEAR SIR
LIKE A BEAUTIFUL COAT BUT
THEN WITHOUT ALL THE FUR
