Track nhạc thứ 12 "Smoke Detector" là ca khúc cuối cùng khép lại album phòng thu thứ 10 "Laugh Track" của ban nhạc indie rock The National, với thể loại Indie Rock kết hợp với Alternative Rock sôi động và bắt tai, bài hát đi sâu vào chủ đề tình yêu, ký ức và sự trôi qua của thời gian, nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng của việc trân trọng những khoảnh khắc bên người thân yêu và những kết nối tình cảm sâu sắc có thể không được nhận ra.

Ca khúc giống như một lời nhắc nhở hãy giữ gìn những điều tốt đẹp nhất trong những trải nghiệm và mối quan hệ của chúng ta, thúc giục chúng ta nhận ra và trân trọng tình yêu xung quanh mình, ngay cả trong những điều nhỏ nhặt nhất.


Smoke detector, smoke detector

All you need to do is protect her

Smoke detector

Smoke detector, smoke detector

Blink and bless her and let her rest

Don't let my memory dissolve

Make a list of your loved ones in order of height

Laugh at the blackbirds in the knack of the night

Forgive all the favorites in your phone

Imagine yourself completely alone

Sit in the backyard in my pharmacy slippers

At least I'm not on the roof anymore

In a year or so, I hope nobody remembers

This, this run of episodes of my time on the floor

Need to recharge, light from the stars

Won't really reach anything, will it?

Binary capsules of all human culture

History and science and headless sculptures

Stories of monkeys and digital religions

Like life on a note of the last living pigeon

Smoke detector, smoke detector

All you need to do is protect her

Smoke detector

Smoke detector, smoke detector

Blink and bless her and let her rest

Don't let my memory dissolve

I'll get better, I'll fluff the feathers

I'll punch in the numbers and I'll enter the letters

Why don't you let me lay here and listen to the distant sirens?

Wonder why they have a dog in the driver's seat

With a red helmet and his head out the window

It's getting closer no matter where we go

Brush your teeth and write your name

On the bottom of a brick under the window pane

Sift through the slush and the ash and the dust

For whatever stands out for whatever reason

If it's a laugh or a rush or a remembered feeling

You don't know what it means, but you don't wanna leave it

Put it in a plastic bag and put it in a pocket

Hang it on a hanger and put it in a closet

You'll know where it is whenever you need it

I make a good argument, admit it

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

Let's just try to remember the best of us

Just try to remember the best of us

Make a list of your loved ones in order of height

Laugh at the blackbirds in the black of the night

Forgive all the favorites in your phone

Imagine yourself completely alone

Sit in the backyard in my pharmacy slippers

At least I'm not on the roof anymore

In a year or so, I hope nobody remembers

This run of episodes of my time on the floor

Need to recharge, light from the stars

Won't really reach anything, will it?

The binary capsules of all human culture

Science and history and headless sculptures

Stories of monkeys and digital religions

Like a note on the ankle of the last living pigeon

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

I'll get better, I'll fluff the feathers

I'll punch in the numbers and enter the letters

Why don't you lay here and listen to distant sirens with me?

I wonder if they have a dog in the driver's seat

With a red helmet and his head out the window

It's getting closer no matter where we go

Brush your teeth and write your name

On the bottom of a brick under the window pane

Sift through the slush and the ash and the dust

For whatever stands out for whatever reason

If it's a laugh or a rush or a remembered feeling

You don't know what it means, but you don't wanna leave it

Put it in a plastic bag and put it in a pocket

And hang it on a hanger and put it in a closet

You don't know where it is whenever you need it

I make a good argument, admit it

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

You don't know how much I love you

Do you?

(You don't know how much I love you)
