Cry
Emotional Waves: Simple Minds' 'Cry' Unveiled
Lyrics
It's difficult to love you
Expresses the difficulty in loving someone.
When you do the things you do
Refers to negative actions or behaviors causing emotional distress.
Time and time again
Describes a repetitive cycle of problematic behavior over time.
And when i try to play it wrong
Attempts to deviate from the expected response, but it doesn't work.
You turn from smooth
Shift from a calm demeanor to a more challenging one.
You play it rough once again
Reverts to rough behavior, causing emotional turbulence.
You make me cry
Repeated expression of the emotional impact, crying, caused by the actions.
You make me cry again
-You make me cry
-You make me cry again
-You make me cry
-You make me cry
-Saturday, same old story
Specific day reference indicating a recurring negative experience.
Sunday mornings wounded glory repeats again
Highlights the repetition of pain and disappointment, especially on Sundays.
And every day a dream is born
Every day introduces new hope, but it's overshadowed by a damaged love.
Is counted by a love that's torn, deep again
Emphasizes the depth of emotional wounds.
You make me cry
Reiteration of the emotional impact, crying, emphasizing the intensity.
You make me cry again
-And the tears roll by
-You make me cry again
-You make me cry
-And you make me cry
-You make me cry
-You make me cry again
-Tide? that turns me into this ocean
Metaphorically associates the speaker with a tidal force influenced by emotions.
Subsides again
Emotional intensity decreases but resurfaces.
So high and so dry
Describes feeling emotionally elevated and desolate simultaneously.
With this bitter emotion lies again
Bitter emotions resurface, complicating the emotional landscape.
You make me cry
Repetition of the plea to stop causing emotional pain.
You make me cry
-And you make me cry
-Stop making me cry
-Stop making me cry
-And you make me cry
-You make me cry
Final acknowledgment of the persistent emotional impact, crying.
