Don't Cry for Me Argentina
Unveiling Love's Evolution: Don't Weep for Me, Argentina
Lyrics
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
Acknowledging that explaining emotions might be difficult and unusual.
When I try to explain how I feel
Expressing the struggle to convey personal feelings.
That I still need your love after all that I've done
Desire for continued affection despite past actions.
You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew
Recognition that others may not see personal growth and change.
Although she's dressed up to the nines
Describing a facade despite internal turmoil.
At sixes and sevens with you
Feeling disoriented and conflicted in a relationship.
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Acceptance of necessary personal transformation.
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Rejecting a stagnant life and seeking change.
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
Isolating oneself, possibly to avoid scrutiny or judgment.
So I chose freedom, running around trying everything new
Choosing freedom to explore new experiences.
But nothing impressed me at all
Expressing disappointment in newfound experiences.
I never expected it to
Having no expectations for these new experiences.
Don't cry for me, Argentina
Addressing a specific place (Argentina) to refrain from sorrow.
The truth is, I never left you
Asserting that physically leaving doesn't mean emotional detachment.
All through my wild days, my mad existence
Reflecting on a chaotic past without abandoning a commitment.
I kept my promise
Staying true to a promise made.
Don't keep your distance
Encouraging closeness instead of emotional distance.
And as for fortune, and as for fame
Rejecting the allure of fortune and fame.
I never invited them in
Not actively pursuing fame or wealth.
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
Public perception versus personal desires.
They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be
Realizing that material success doesn't solve problems.
The answer was here all the time
Discovering that love was the answer all along.
I love you, and hope you love me
Expressing mutual love and hope.
Don't cry for me, Argentina
Repeating the plea not to mourn or cry for the singer's absence.
Don't cry for me, Argentina
Reiteration of not wanting sorrow over leaving.
The truth is, I never left you
Reaffirming emotional presence despite physical absence.
All through my wild days, my mad existence
Recollection of a tumultuous past without abandoning commitments.
I kept my promise
Reaffirmation of keeping a promise made.
Don't keep your distance
Emphasizing closeness rather than distance emotionally.
Have I said too much?
Questioning if too much has been said or disclosed.
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
Expressing the limitation of words to convey emotions.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
Claiming that personal truths are evident through observation.
That every word is true
Asserting the truthfulness of every spoken word.
