Cry Baby
Embracing Life's Oddities: Cage the Elephant's Cry Baby
Lyrics
I think it's pretty strange
I find it quite odd
Watching the passersby
Observing people passing by
Crawling all over one another
Competing or struggling with each other
Trying to get ahead in life
Attempting to progress in life
Monday you cough
Symbolizing the start of the week, a sign of discomfort or illness
Tuesday you cry
Representing emotional distress or sorrow
Wednesday in bed
Being in a state of withdrawal or depression
What if you die?
Ruminating on mortality
You say that I'm insane
There’s a perception of mental instability
I say you're probably right
Accepting the possibility of being judged as correct in that perception
We all got something important to say
Everyone holds something significant to communicate
But talking's a waste of time
Speaking seems futile or ineffective
Monday you cough
Repetition of the cycle, possibly symbolizing monotony
Tuesday you cry
Continued emotional distress or sadness
Wednesday in bed
Remaining in a state of withdrawal or depression
What if you die?
Reflecting on mortality again
Cry baby cry
Encouraging someone to express emotions by crying
Kick, scream, fight
Urging to express frustrations or anger
Hold on with all your might
Hold on strongly despite difficulties
You're gonna die, die
Emphasizing mortality once more
Open up your eyes or life will pass you by
Advising to be aware or you’ll miss out on life
Don't you think it's pretty strange?
Pointing out the peculiarity of hiding aspects of oneself
All got something to hide
Everyone has secrets or things they conceal
House in the desert, top of a mountain
Metaphorical locations symbolizing isolation or being lost
Lost in a deep-sea dive
Being deeply immersed in a difficult situation
Monday you cough
Repetition of the cycle of discomfort or illness
Tuesday you cry
Continued emotional distress or sorrow
Wednesday in bed
Continued withdrawal or depression
What if you die?
Reflecting on mortality once again
Cry baby cry
Encouraging expression of emotions through crying
Kick, scream, fight
Urging to release emotions through action
Hold on with all your might
Hold on strongly despite hardships
You're gonna die, die
Emphasizing mortality once more
Open up your eyes or life will pass you by
Advising to be vigilant or life will be missed
Without love
Emphasizing the importance of love
Without love
Reiterating the necessity of love
Nothing else will ever be enough
Nothing else can substitute for love
Cry baby cry
Encouraging expression of emotions through crying
Like it or not
Whether accepted or not
Like it or not
Repeated assertion regardless of acceptance
It's a matter of time
Death is inevitable
Cry baby cry
Encouraging expression of emotions through crying
Like it or not
Whether accepted or not
Like it or not
Repeated assertion regardless of acceptance
It's a matter of time
Death is inevitable
It's a matter of time
Death is inevitable, it's only a matter of time
