Learn To Cry
Embracing Tears: Decoding the Emotional Symphony of 'Learn To Cry'
Lyrics
It's twelve o'clock
Time indication - it's twelve o'clock.
The TV's on and I'm just sittin' around
The speaker is idle, watching TV without much purpose.
I'm restless and blue but I
Feeling restless and melancholic.
Can't figure out why
Unable to determine the reason for the emotional state.
As the drunks on the park benches
Observing people settling in for the night in a park.
Are putting their blankets down
Drunk individuals are preparing to sleep outdoors.
I'm thinking, boy, you'd better learn to cry
Suggests a need to learn to express emotions by crying.
Well, I could go to sleep
Considering sleeping as an option.
Or else recourse to alcohol
Contemplating drinking alcohol as an alternative.
I could break up some of this
Thinking about rearranging or changing something in the room.
Room or just go outside
Alternatively, considering going outside.
I could turn up some old hit so
Potentially playing music loudly to drown thoughts.
Loud I can't hear it anymore
Repetition emphasizing the need to learn to cry.
Sayin' boy, you'd better learn to cry
Reiterating the importance of learning to express emotions.
Boy, you'd better learn to cry
Emphasizing the necessity of learning to cry.
Girlfriends and wives punctuate
Female companions and partners break the silence.
Your silence somehow in darkened rooms
They have an impact in dimly lit rooms.
In flickering black and white
Reference to an old film or TV show in black and white.
She says all the actors in this
Suggests skepticism about the actors' survival.
Movie are probably dead by now
Encouraging the idea of learning to cry.
You're thinkin', boy
Continuing the contemplation of crying as a response.
You'd better learn to cry
Reinforcing the need to learn to express emotions through tears.
Boy, you'd better learn to cry
Emphasizing the necessity of learning to cry.
A familiar face with a loving
A familiar and loving face is a regular presence.
Smile greets you every day
Failure gradually affects the speaker's life.
And failure seeps a little
Failure becomes more prominent and impactful.
Deeper through your life
Reflecting on giving one's heart but not using it.
Yeah, sure you gave some girl your heart
Advising the necessity of learning to cry as an emotional release.
But you never used it anyway
Reinforcing the importance of learning to express emotions.
Sayin' boy, you better learn to cry
Repetition emphasizing the need to learn to cry.
Boy, you'd better learn to cry
Emphasizing the necessity of learning to cry.
