Crying Time
Love Unraveled: Brenda Lee's Crying Time Reveals Heartbreak's Symphony
Lyrics
She was kicking down the fence trying to hide the evidence
She was attempting to conceal the evidence, perhaps of a misdeed or wrongdoing.
That would give her game away
The evidence, if revealed, would expose her true intentions or strategy.
But everything was as clear as day
Despite her efforts, everything was obvious and easily understood.
I knew she had no more to give, she hated everything she did
The speaker realized that she had nothing more to offer and was discontent with her actions.
And I could feel her restless mind
The speaker sensed her unsettled thoughts or emotions.
Calling out for love at crying time
She longed for love, particularly during moments of emotional distress (crying time).
All those days that seemed like years
Refers to a period of time that felt long and challenging.
The silence roaring in our ears
A metaphorical description of intense silence emphasizing the difficulties in the relationship.
Then at night a ticking sound
Symbolic ticking sound representing the countdown to the inevitable challenges of their life together.
The time bomb of the life we'd found
Describes the relationship as a ticking time bomb, indicating its instability.
I watched her leave, my heart in flames
The speaker witnessed her departure, causing intense emotional pain.
Fanned by all her other lovers' names
Her departure fueled the speaker's heartbreak, amplified by memories of her other lovers.
And I could feel her restless mind
Similar to line 6, suggesting ongoing emotional turmoil within her.
Calling out for love at crying time
Reiterates her desire for love, specifically during times of emotional vulnerability.
Whiskey, wine and cheap perfume all those crowded bars
Lists substances and environments associated with a hedonistic or troubled lifestyle.
And hotel rooms
Describes settings that are transient and lack genuine connection.
Exotic rhythms to embrace
Mentions the allure of exotic rhythms, possibly representing temporary escapes.
But everywhere is a lonely place
Despite external attractions, every place feels lonely.
So down and down and down I go
Expresses a descending emotional state or worsening situation.
But where I'm going, well I sure don't know
The speaker is uncertain about the future and where their journey will lead.
And I could feel her restless mind
Repeats the sense of her inner restlessness and the yearning for love during difficult times.
Calling out for love at crying time
Reiterates her call for love, emphasizing the crying time as a crucial moment of need.
