Cry Cry Cry
Night's Deception: A Tale of Lost Lights and Lonely Cries
Lyrics
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down.
Reference to a common knowledge of where one goes at night.
I think you only live to see the lights of town.
Suggesting a focus on the excitement of city lights as a primary motivation for living.
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try.
Regret over wasted time spent trying without success.
When the lights have lost their glow, you're gonna cry, cry, cry
Anticipation of emotional pain when the allure of city lights fades.
I lie awake at night and wait till you come in.
Expressing a sense of waiting and yearning for someone to return at night.
You stay a little while and then you're gone again.
Noting a transient presence, with brief moments of togetherness.
For every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie
Highlighting a pattern of receiving dishonest answers to questions.
For every lie you tell, you're gonna cry, cry, cry.
Conveying the consequence of lies, predicting future emotional pain.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone,
Emphasizing the inevitability of experiencing sorrow alone.
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own.
Stressing the isolation when others have moved on, leaving behind the individual.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry.
Reiteration of the theme of crying as a result of emotional pain.
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone.
Predicting the departure of those providing material support.
And you'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone.
Foreshadowing a future realization of loneliness.
You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye,
Declaring the intention to sever ties despite future pleas.
When I turn around and walk away, you'll cry, cry, cry.
Expecting tears when the narrator walks away from the relationship.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone,
Reiteration of the inevitability of crying alone and being forgotten.
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own.
Highlighting the isolation when others have moved on.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry.
Restating the theme of crying as a consequence of actions.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry and you'll cry alone,
Repeating the prediction of crying alone and being forgotten.
When everyone's forgotten and you're left on your own.
Reemphasizing the loneliness when others have moved on.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry.
Reiteration of the inevitability of experiencing emotional pain.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry.
Final confirmation of the emotional consequences predicted throughout the song.
