Boys Do Cry
Emotional Odyssey: Unraveling the Depths of 'Boys Do Cry' by Nico Dattilo
Lyrics
Boys on Sundays
Boys often spend Sundays engaged in activities like reading poetry.
We read poetry
Reading poetry while under the influence of drugs.
While we’re stoned
Even while under the influence, boys express their emotions through tears.
Boys do cry you know
Boys have the capacity and freedom to cry, breaking gender stereotypes.
Blue’s not just a color
The color blue symbolizes emotions, not just a mere color.
It’s a tone
Blue represents a deeper emotional state.
But it’s not easy
It's challenging for someone to love the singer due to their complexities.
To love somebody like me
The singer feels perceived as a 'bad man' if they delve too deeply into their emotions.
You’re a bad man
A warning that getting too involved emotionally might be perceived negatively.
If you lose yourself in your feelings
Losing oneself in emotions might be considered a flaw.
Singing with Johnny
Sharing moments of music with someone named Johnny.
Loves a burning flame
Love is intense and passionate but can cause pain.
If it cuts too deep it can hurt you
Love can wound deeply if it becomes too intense.
Be careful of the hot desire
A caution against being consumed by intense desires.
Like Romeo and his bad bitch
Referencing a tragic love story like Romeo and Juliet's.
Drank her poison then he dipped
A reference to Romeo drinking poison after Juliet's death.
Loves not enough sometimes
Love might not always suffice to understand its complexities.
I don’t know why it just is
An acknowledgment of the inexplicable nature of love.
You lost your mind
Someone losing their rationality or composure.
I’m not your baby
Rejecting the idea of being someone's dependent or baby.
You don’t like that
Displeasure at being rejected for not conforming to being a "baby."
It drove you crazy
The rejection caused distress or madness in the other person.
You gave me summer
The person provided happiness, then abruptly changed.
Then changed the season
Despite giving happiness, they altered their behavior negatively.
I don’t like that
Discomfort at being labeled or treated as someone's dependent.
I’m not your baby
Refusing the role of being someone's dependent or baby.
I’m the sad cowboy
Self-identifying as someone perceived as perpetually sad.
That’s what they call me
Being labeled as a sorrowful figure, possibly by others.
With those angel tears in my eyes
Expressing sadness with tears symbolized by angels.
I’m the sad cowboy
Reiterating the perception of being a sorrowful figure.
That’s what they call me
Acknowledging the repeated identification as a sad figure.
With those angel tears in my eyes
Tears symbolize a perpetual state of sorrow.

That’s what they call me
Repeatedly identified as the embodiment of sadness.
With those angel tears in my eyes
Tears represent a constant state of anguish.
I’m the sad cowboy
Self-identifying as a sad figure, running through difficulties.
Running through the night
Running through life while in a troubled state.
High as hell
Being in an altered state (high) while facing challenges.
With those tears in my eyes
Tears symbolize distress or emotional turmoil.
You lost your mind
Reiterating someone's loss of rationality or composure.
