It's Only Smiles Lyrics

We've all got those things crawling under what they perceive
We know sharp fangs and they chew in the times alone
My gut is telling, oh it's telling me what?
She'd rather see a man up than me undone
Rip a hole in my life,
but no matter the things I do, never get over it
I said goodbye from a place so far
I'm under the truth
Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth
Rip a whole in my life when it's bringing me back to you
I've been trying to work it out
Gotta get away from the sights and sounds
Keep it on the ground
I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it
Death it true and I'll be missing you
Advice is not always right
So I've gone to tread my ways
The path I've laid out is tied
We're always meant to shine
You left a lot of grief
Now it's bleeding out my teeth
Shot holes in every stone heart
The tones are on repeat, but nothing's filling me
It's on my chest and you're in this art
My gut is telling, oh it's telling me what?
She'd rather see a man up than me undone
Rip a hole in my life,
but no matter the things I do, never get over it
I said goodbye from a place so far
I'm under the truth
Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth
Rip a whole in my life when it's bringing me back to you
I'll work it out
Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds
Keep it on the ground
I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it
Death is true and I'll be missing you
Death is true and I'll be missing you
I think I'll just smile through it all for you
I've been trying to work it out
Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds
Keep it on the ground
I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it
Death is true and I'll be missing you

This song is about the lead singer's (Spencer Sotelo) older sister who passed away a few years prior to the album's release and the lyrics are about what he had to go through to get over her death.

Song Meaning

I think this song is about a relationship ending & trying to move on but finding it beyond impossible, pretty much realizing it's gonna be the death of you just to try and get over it.
