Charlie
Charlie's Cry: A Tale of Hope Amidst Darkness
Lyrics
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
Repeatedly calling out to someone named Charlie, seeking their whereabouts.
Where have you been?
Asking where Charlie has been and noticing physical injuries.
Bruises on your body, a flesh wound on your chin
Observing bruises and wounds on Charlie's body.
Why won't they do something?
Questioning why others are not taking action regarding Charlie's situation.
Why won't they do something?
Reiterating the lack of action and concern for Charlie's well-being.
Why won't anyone do something?
Expressing frustration at the absence of help for Charlie.
You're calling out for mummy, but there's no one there
Noting Charlie's attempt to seek comfort from their mother, who is not present.
And now you're all surrounded but no one can hear
Describing Charlie as being surrounded by others but still unheard.
When will they do something?
Questioning when action will be taken to aid Charlie.
Why won't they do something?
Reiterating the lack of action and concern for Charlie's well-being.
When will anyone do something?
Expressing a plea for someone to intervene and help Charlie.
Try to leave a mark
Encouraging Charlie to make a noticeable impact.
Who wants to live in vain?
Questioning the purpose of living without significance.
But they won't ever listen
Expressing frustration that others refuse to listen.
I'm waiting for the sun to take away the rain
Hoping for better times to replace the current difficulties.
Singing "it's gonna be okay"
Offering reassurance by singing that everything will be fine.
You lost the grip of her hand as the gun fell to the ground
Describing a moment of losing control, possibly involving a firearm.
It's hard to slip and then land without making any sound
Highlighting the difficulty of making a significant move without drawing attention.
Why won't they do something?
Reiterating the need for action regarding Charlie's situation.
Why won't they do something?
Expressing frustration at the lack of intervention.
Why won't anyone do something?
Questioning when someone will step in to help Charlie.
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie
Repeating the call for Charlie and their whereabouts.
Where have you been?
Asking again where Charlie has been and referring to lost moral values.
Went looking for your ethics in the recycle bin
Metaphorically searching for Charlie's lost moral principles.
When will they do something?
Questioning when action will be taken to aid Charlie.
Why won't they do something?
Reiterating the lack of action and concern for Charlie's well-being.
When will anyone do something?
Expressing a plea for someone to intervene and help Charlie.
Try to leave a mark
Encouraging Charlie to make a noticeable impact.
Who wants to live in vain?
Questioning the purpose of living without significance.
But they won't ever listen
Expressing frustration that others refuse to listen.
I'm waiting for the sun to take away the rain
Hoping for better times to replace the current difficulties.
Singing "it's gonna be okay"
Offering reassurance by singing that everything will be fine.
Singing "it's gonna be okay"
Repeating the assurance that everything will be fine.
The tallest trees will tell you I wasn't like this from the start
Stating a change from the past and a request for protection.
But if you really love me, lock me up when it gets dark
Expressing a conditional request for care and control in challenging situations.
I've been inside this body for twenty-seven years
Noting the duration of existence within a particular body.
I know they stole my laughter, they will never get my tears
Asserting the protection of personal emotions despite losing joy.
Try to leave a mark
Encouraging Charlie to make a noticeable impact.
Who wants to live in vain?
Questioning the purpose of living without significance.
But no one ever listens
Expressing frustration that no one pays attention.
I'm waiting for the sun to take away the rain
Hoping for better times to replace the current difficulties.
Singing "it's gonna be okay"
Offering reassurance by singing that everything will be fine.
Singing "it's gonna be okay"
Repeating the assurance that everything will be fine.
I hope it's gonna be -
Expressing hope for a positive future.
