Sister Cry
Echoes of Transformation: Sister Cry's Poignant Journey
Lyrics
Sister cry, from what you needed
Sister cries due to unfulfilled needs or desires.
Bought yourself things you could not use
She bought things that were unnecessary or couldn't be used.
Could be some man will come along and claim you
A man might enter her life and make a claim on her.
Could be you'll wind up in another town
There's a possibility she might move to another town.
Sister cry, count the stars
Sister is urged to count the stars, possibly for solace.
As many in the sky that passed you by
Comparing the stars in the sky to missed opportunities.
Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes
There's a potential for positive changes in her future.
Somehow the changes made won't belong to you
Changes might happen, but they won't be beneficial for her.
Someone come along and carry you down
Someone might come and take her away.
(And you called my name, I was so hungry then)
A reference to a past interaction, expressing hunger or need.
Someone come along and carry you down
Repetition of the idea that someone might take her away.
(And could not see you)
An indication that the person couldn't see her clearly.
Someone come along and carry you down
Repetition of the idea that someone might take her away.
(And we don't talk at all, it's the hardest way)
Difficulty in communication, possibly a strained relationship.
Someone come along and carry you down
Repetition of the idea that someone might take her away.
Sister cry, you been mistreated
Sister has experienced mistreatment.
It doesn't mean someone won't let you in
Despite mistreatment, there's still a chance for acceptance.
Could be some man will come along and claim you
A man might enter her life and make a claim on her.
Could be you'll wind up in another town
There's a possibility she might move to another town.
There's devils knocking at your door
Reference to challenges or negative influences in her life.
But I could lead them all astray
The narrator expresses a willingness to protect her.
Just don't matter what people say
Her actions are not influenced by others' opinions.
Someone come along and carry you down
Repetition of the idea that someone might take her away.
(And you called my name, I was so hungry then)
A reference to a past interaction, expressing hunger or need.
Someone come along and carry you down
Repetition of the idea that someone might take her away.
(And could not see you)
An indication that the person couldn't see her clearly.
Someone come along and carry you down
Repetition of the idea that someone might take her away.
(And we don't talk at all, it's the hardest way)
