Cry
Heartache Symphony: Unraveling the Pain in Godley & Creme's 'Cry'
Lyrics
You don't know how to ease my pain
You are unaware of how to alleviate my suffering
You don't know
Repetition, emphasizing the lack of understanding
You don't know how to ease my pain
Continuing the theme of not knowing how to ease pain
You don't know what the sound is darlin'
You are unaware of the significance or meaning of the emotional turmoil
It's the sound of my tears fallin'
The audible expression of sadness – tears falling, uncertain if it's tears or rain
Or is it the rain?
Rhetorical question, pondering whether the sound is tears or rain
You don't know how to play the game
You lack the skill to navigate the complexities of the relationship
You cheat
Accusation of dishonesty and deceit in the relationship
You lie
Reiteration of deception and lies
You make me want to cry
Your actions evoke strong emotions, leading to a desire to cry
You make me want to cry
Repetition of the emotional impact, emphasizing the intensity
Cry
An emotional outburst, expressing the desire to cry
You make me want to cry
Repetition, underscoring the emotional response
You don't know how to ease my pain
Reiteration of the lack of knowledge in alleviating pain
You don't know
Emphasis on the lack of understanding, echoing earlier lines
You don't know how to ease my pain
Continued expression of the inability to ease pain
Don't you hear any voices cryin'?
Rhetorical question about hearing the sadness in the form of voices
That's the sound of my love dyin'
The audible expression of love fading away
Here comes the rain
Introducing a metaphorical "rain" representing sorrow or sadness
You don't know how to play the game
Reiteration of the lack of skill in playing the relationship "game"
You cheat
Accusation of cheating, continuing the theme of dishonesty
You lie
Reiteration of lies and deceit in the relationship
You don't even know how to say goodbye
You lack the ability to bid farewell properly
You make me want to cry
Your actions evoke a strong emotional response, leading to a desire to cry
You don't know
Reiteration of the lack of understanding and knowledge
You don't even know how to say goodbye
Highlighting the inability to say goodbye, emphasizing the emotional difficulty
You make me want to cry
Repetition of the emotional impact, emphasizing the intensity
You don't even know how to say goodbye
Continued emphasis on the difficulty of saying goodbye
You make me want to cry
Repetition, underscoring the emotional response and desire to cry
Cry
An emotional outburst, expressing the desire to cry
Cry
Repetition, emphasizing the prolonged emotional distress
Cry
Repetition, underscoring the ongoing emotional pain
Cry
Continued emphasis on the enduring emotional distress
