CRY
Hidden Tears: Julia Jacklin's Poignant Journey Through Silent Struggles
Lyrics
Ah, ah-ah, ah
Expressing a sigh or a sound of emotional release.
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Continuation of the expressive sound, setting an emotional tone.
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
Repetition of the expressive sounds, emphasizing emotional intensity.
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Continuation of the expressive sounds, maintaining emotional emphasis.
Hiding my depression from my housemates
Expressing the concealment of inner struggles from people sharing the living space.
I don't know them well enough yet to cry in the kitchen
Unable to display vulnerability due to a lack of familiarity with housemates.
Showerhead or the empty bed
Choices between using the shower or facing an empty bed, both reflective spaces.
I yell down the hallway, "I'm going to the store"
Fabricating an excuse to leave and avoiding emotional exposure at home.
But instead, I walk to the local football field
Choosing to wander to a football field instead of the intended destination.
And I walk around in circles, find a quiet corner
Walking in circles, searching for a quiet place to cope with emotions.
And cry, cry, cry, cry
Expressing the act of crying as a way to release pent-up emotions.
Cry, cry, cry
Repetition of the act of crying for emphasis and emotional weight.
Open your eyes, run back, baby
Encouraging someone to reconsider their actions and return.
But they'll think that I'm a liar if I come home empty-handed
Fear of being perceived as dishonest if returning without visible results.
Go, use your head, buy another loaf of bread
Advising practical actions, such as buying bread, to justify the return.
When I walk back through the door I'll say
Planning to use a light-hearted excuse about buying excess bread.
"You can never have too much bread"
Empty line, a pause or transition before the next emotional expression.
And try not to cry, cry, cry, cry
Expressing the challenge of holding back tears in a difficult situation.
Cry, cry, cry
Repetition of the act of crying, emphasizing the struggle to control emotions.
(Ah) ooh, ah, ah-ah, um
Expressive sounds, possibly indicating a transition in the emotional state.
(Ah) ah-ah, um, mmm
Continuation of expressive sounds, maintaining the emotional transition.
(Ah) ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
Repetition of expressive sounds, possibly indicating emotional turmoil.
I make them food, I make them love
Balancing responsibilities by providing food and emotional support to others.
I say, "Okay, no, you should get an early night"
Encouraging someone to prioritize self-care by getting an early night.
I stop and I wait, stuck in the mining state
Feeling stuck in a monotonous or draining state, possibly a metaphor for life.
I close the kitchen door and hold onto the sink
Physically closing off from others, holding onto a stable element for support.
And cry, cry, cry, cry
Repetition of the act of crying, expressing ongoing emotional struggles.
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Further repetition of the act of crying, intensifying the emotional portrayal.
Oh cry, cry, cry, cry
Continuation of the emotional expression of crying, suggesting a persistent struggle.
Cry, cry, cry
Final repetition of the act of crying, possibly concluding the emotional narrative.
