Smokahontas

Attack! Attack! (EUA)'s song 'Smokahontas' delves into themes of isolation, emotional turmoil, and the quest for redemption. The opening lines, 'I'm alone in a crowded room / Conversations that I'll never remember,' set the stage for a narrative of feeling disconnected and trapped in a reality that feels alien and unwelcoming. This sense of entrapment is further emphasized by the repeated plea, 'Show me the way / Allow me to see cause my heart is broken,' highlighting a deep yearning for guidance and healing.

The lyrics also explore the concept of separation from a significant other or a higher purpose, as seen in the lines, 'Oh I am separated from the one I was made to love.' This separation is portrayed as a source of profound pain and confusion, leading to feelings of being 'pathetic and lost.' The darkness mentioned throughout the song symbolizes the emotional and psychological struggles the narrator faces, with lines like 'This darkness closing in / Is just beginning' suggesting an ongoing battle with despair.

Despite the bleakness, there is a glimmer of hope in the narrator's desire to 'feel this love again' and the assertion of loyalty and family in the closing lines, 'I'm sticking up for my friends I can count on / This is loyalty this is a family.' This indicates a search for connection and support amidst the chaos, emphasizing the importance of trust and solidarity in overcoming personal demons. 'Smokahontas' ultimately portrays a journey through darkness, highlighting the human need for love, trust, and redemption in the face of overwhelming odds.
