Big Tears
Emotional Struggles and Societal Expectations
Lyrics
How long have you worn that dress
Questioning the duration of wearing a dress, possibly symbolizing a burden or hardship.
The colours shows all the mess
Suggesting that the colors of the dress reveal the struggles or challenges faced.
But they dont want that kind of thing round here
Expressing societal disapproval for certain qualities represented by the dress.
You've been trying too hard it's clear
Indicating excessive effort that is apparent and not well-received.
You've been dieing to dry those big tears.
Highlighting a desire to overcome deep emotional pain and sadness.
You've got a head full of library books
Mentioning a well-read or knowledgeable person with a valuable background.
Your mother had all the looks
Comparing the person's appearance to their mother, who had exceptional beauty.
But they dont want that kind of thing round here
Reflecting societal resistance to certain qualities associated with the person.
You've been trying too hard it's clear
Reiterating the idea of excessive effort that is not appreciated.
You've been dieing to dry those big tears.
Reaffirming the longing to overcome significant emotional distress.
Do you know what they all think about you.
Posing a question about the perceptions and opinions others hold about the person.
Do you know how they cant live without you.
Questioning the person's awareness of their indispensability to others.
You've got a head full of common sense
Describing the possession of practical wisdom but acknowledging its limited value.
But thats not much recompence
Suggesting that common sense may not be sufficient compensation for challenges.
'cause I dont want that kind of thing round here
Expressing a personal disinterest in certain qualities, similar to societal sentiments.
I've been trying too hard it's clear
Acknowledging personal effort that has not been well-received.
Now we're dieing to dry those big tears.
Conveying a shared desire to overcome profound emotional distress.
How long have I worn this shirt
Pondering the duration of wearing a shirt, possibly symbolizing personal struggles.
The colours shows all the dirt
Indicating that the colors of the shirt reveal accumulated challenges or stains.
They dont want that kind of thing round here
Reflecting societal disapproval for certain qualities represented by the shirt.
I've been trying too hard it's clear
Expressing personal awareness of excessive effort that has not been well-received.
