Don't Cry for Me Argentina
Embracing Freedom: A Journey of Love, Change, and Promises
Lyrics
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
Expressing that conveying emotions might be challenging
When I try to explain how I feel
Attempting to describe personal feelings
That I still need your love after all that I've done
Desiring love despite past actions
You won't believe me
Expecting disbelief in what is being expressed
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Perception of oneself as familiar to the observer
Although she's dressed up to the nines
Outward appearance in contrast to inner turmoil
At sixes and sevens with you
Feeling confused or disoriented in the relationship
I had to let it happen; I had to change
Accepting necessary changes in life
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Choosing not to remain in a disadvantaged state forever
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
Avoiding facing reality, seeking escape
So I chose freedom
Opting for freedom despite consequences
Running around trying everything new
Experimenting with various experiences
But nothing impressed me at all
Feeling unimpressed despite trying new things
I never expected it to
Not anticipating to be impressed
Don't cry for me Argentina
Addressing Argentina, asking not to grieve
The truth is I never left you
Clarifying never abandoning Argentina emotionally
All through my wild days
Referencing past tumultuous times
My mad existence
Describing a chaotic, erratic life
I kept my promise
Asserting commitment to a promise made
Don't keep your distance.
Asking for closeness, not separation
And as for fortune, and as for fame
Disinterest in wealth or recognition
I never invited them in
Not actively seeking fame or fortune
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
Despite appearances, not desiring what the world perceives
They are illusions
Labeling fame and fortune as deceptive
They're not the solutions they promised to be
Dismissing fame and wealth as unfulfilling
The answer was here all the time
Realization of love as the answer
I love you and hope you love me
Expressing mutual affection
Don't cry for me Argentina
Reiterating not to cry for Argentina
Don't cry for me Argentina
Repeating the plea to not grieve
The truth is I never left you
Confirming emotional fidelity to Argentina
All through my wild days
Recalling tumultuous past days
My mad existence
Describing a turbulent, chaotic existence
I kept my promise
Restating commitment to a promise made
Don't keep your distance
Urging for continued closeness
Have I said too much?
Concern about oversharing or saying too much
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
Expressing completion of thoughts, encouraging observation
But all you have to do is look at me to know that every word is true
Asserting the truthfulness of the statements
