Never Cry
Embracing the Weight of Desperation: Lightning Threads' 'Never Cry'
Lyrics
I never cry
Expressing the speaker's usual reluctance to cry
But today I sat and cried
Contradiction - the speaker cried today
Like the weight of the world on me
Feeling overwhelmed, as if bearing the weight of the world
Like a chain wrapped around my chest
Metaphorically feeling constrained and suffocated
Breeding anxiety
Generating worry and unease
With a shake to every breath
Experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety
Today I cried
Reiteration of crying today, indicating emotional distress
Like I had nothing left
Feeling emotionally drained or depleted
While my woman at home is waiting
Reference to the speaker's partner waiting for them
And I'm anticipating
Anticipating something uncertain or emotionally challenging
The sorrow of a former life
Reflecting on past pain or regrets
But why am I so anxious
Questioning the cause of anxiety
And why am I so desperate
Expressing a feeling of urgent need or despair
For someone to say that its alright
Desire for reassurance and comfort from someone
It's alright
Reassuring oneself that things will be okay
I never cry
Reiteration of not usually crying
But today I sat and cried
Reiteration of crying today, emphasizing its rarity
I was finally on my own
Realizing independence or being alone
I guess I just had to
Feeling compelled to halt or pause
Stop
Stopping or ceasing a certain action or behavior
As the realisation flows
Understanding something important or significant
And the penny finally dropped
Finally comprehending a situation or truth
I never cry
Reiteration of not usually crying
But today I sat and cried
Reiteration of crying today, echoing the emotional strain
While my woman at home is waiting
Reference again to the partner waiting at home
And I'm anticipating
Anticipating something emotionally distressing
The sorrow of a former life
Reflecting on past pain or regrets
But why am I so anxious
Questioning the source of anxiety
And why am I so desperate
Expressing an urgent emotional need
For someone to say that it's alright
Desiring reassurance and comfort from someone
Well it's alright
Reiterating self-reassurance that things will be okay
While my woman at home is waiting
Repetition of the partner waiting, highlighting concern
And I'm anticipating
Anticipating emotional pain from the past
The sorrow of a former life
Reflecting on previous hardships or sorrow
So why am I so anxious
Questioning the cause of anxiety and desperation
And why am I so desperate
Expressing a pressing need for comfort
For someone to say that it's alright
Desiring reassurance from someone else
While my woman at home is waiting
Reiteration of the partner waiting, signifying concern
And I'm anticipating
Anticipating emotional distress related to the past
The sorrow of a former life
Recalling past sorrow or hardship
But why am I so anxious
Questioning the cause of anxiety and desperation
And why am I so desperate
Expressing a strong need for comfort
For someone to say that it's alright
Desire for reassurance from someone else
Well It's Alright!
Reiteration of self-reassurance that things will be okay
