Cried Like a Baby
Regal Tears: Unveiling the Lonely Kingdom in 'Cried Like a Baby'
Lyrics
Always had the best of everything
Expressing a life of privilege and abundance.
Anything money could buy
Enjoying the benefits that wealth can bring.
I go first class and I'll live like a king till I die
Living a luxurious and comfortable life.
I surround myself with treasure and devote each day to pleasure
Focusing on material wealth and indulgence in pleasure.
Until late at night this king begins to cry
Despite outward success, feeling a deep emotional pain.
And I have cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Expressing vulnerability and loneliness.
Nobody there to hold my tremblin' hand
Describing moments of intense emotional distress.
And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Reiterating the experience of crying in solitude.
With nobody there to love or understand
Feeling a lack of love and understanding from others.
In the comfort of my castle I have lived my life in style
Living comfortably but emotionally detached from the world.
Let the troubled world just up and pass me by
Choosing to ignore the troubles of the world.
I surround myself with treasure and I fill each day with pleasure
Continuing a life of luxury and pleasure.
Until late at night this king begins to cry
Despite outward success, experiencing inner sadness.
And I have cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Repeating the theme of crying alone in the darkness.
Nobody there to hold my tremblin' hand
Highlighting the absence of emotional support.
And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Emphasizing the loneliness during moments of vulnerability.
With nobody there to love or understand
Expressing a yearning for love and understanding.
In the hollow of an empire
Describing a powerful position within an empire.
I become a warrior king
Embracing a role as a warrior king in pursuit of success.
Hunting golden deals and million dollar schemes
Engaging in ambitious pursuits for wealth and success.
When our fate has been decided
Accepting fate and consequences of life choices.
And my soul's been subdivided
Feeling internally divided or conflicted.
I will cry alone for half forgotten dreams
Expressing sorrow for unfulfilled dreams.
And I have cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Reiterating the experience of crying alone.
Nobody there to hold my tremblin' hand
Emphasizing the absence of a comforting presence.
And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Continuing the theme of solitary emotional distress.
With nobody there to love or understand
Expressing a lack of love and understanding.
Cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Repeating the experience of crying alone in darkness.
Nobody there to hold my tremblin' hand
Highlighting the absence of support during vulnerability.
And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room
Reiterating the theme of crying in solitude.
With nobody there to love or understand me
Expressing a desire for love and understanding.
