Cry
Emotive Reflections: Battling Vulnerability in "Cry
Lyrics
Go on, knock me down again,
Expressing vulnerability, anticipating emotional impact.
I’m as stable as a house of cards,
Comparing stability to a fragile structure, suggesting vulnerability.
As strong as Kings and Queens but then,
Appear strong externally, but vulnerable internally.
I’m twos and threes when,
Emotional inconsistency when faced with challenges.
You blow me down, I fall so far,
Impact of external forces causing a significant emotional fall.
So fast, I flutter in the wind,
Quick response to adversity, fluttering like leaves in the wind.
But come 2 a.m. you know that I….
Suggesting late-night vulnerability, hinting at emotional struggles.
Cry, just a little bit, then a little bit more,
Admitting to a small amount of crying, hinting at emotional pain.
Cry, in my bedroom and on the bathroom floor,
Private spaces where emotional release occurs.
Cry, every piece of me says “What you crying for?”
Internal conflict, questioning the reasons behind tears.
Don’t want to cry any more…
Expressing a desire to stop crying.
Go on, build me up again,
Seeking reassurance or support, a request to be built up emotionally.
Till I’m as stable as a castle of stone,
Desire for stability compared to a strong but vulnerable structure.
Headstrong, locked and windowless,
Emphasis on emotional strength, yet with limitations.
Built for war, a fortress,
Metaphor of emotional protection, fortified against external threats.
But when you try to swim through the moat,
Challenge in connecting emotionally, depicted as a metaphorical moat.
You find it’s too wide, too deep,
Obstacle to emotional connection is significant.
I build all these walls so you won’t see that I…
Building emotional walls to hide vulnerability.
Cry, just a little bit, then a little bit more,
Repetition of the theme of crying, indicating ongoing emotional pain.
Cry, in my bedroom and on the bathroom floor,
Private spaces as venues for emotional release.
Cry, every piece of me says “What you crying for?”
Internal conflict and questioning the reasons for tears.
Don’t want to cry anymore…
Expressing a desire to stop crying, repetition of the theme.
You drive me crazy,
Describing an intense emotional impact from a relationship.
Out of my mind,
Feeling overwhelmed or mentally distressed.
I’m either broken or frozen,
Internal struggle between feeling broken or emotionally numb.
And I can’t find,
Searching for a middle ground, balance in emotions.
Middle ground,
Expressing difficulty in finding emotional stability.
But I try and each and every time,
Attempting to find balance despite challenges.
The only thing I have left is pride,
Remaining pride as a defense mechanism.
So I wait till you’re out of sight to cry…
Choosing privacy for emotional release, waiting for solitude.
Cry…
Repetition of the word "Cry," emphasizing the emotional theme.
Cry…
Reiteration of the emotional release through crying.
I cry, just a little bit, then a little bit more,
Repetition of the theme of crying, ongoing emotional pain.
Cry, in my bedroom and on the bathroom floor,
Private spaces as venues for emotional release.
Cry, every piece of me says “What you crying for?”
Internal conflict and questioning the reasons for tears.
Don’t want to cry anymore…
Expressing a desire to stop crying, repetition of the theme.
Cry, just a little bit, then a little bit more,
Repetition of the theme of crying, ongoing emotional pain.
Cry, in my bedroom and on the bathroom floor,
Private spaces as venues for emotional release.
Cry, every piece of me says “What you crying for?”
Internal conflict and questioning the reasons for tears.
Don’t want to cry anymore…
Expressing a desire to stop crying, repetition of the theme.
