Cry No More
中島美嘉 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
声と言葉失くして
ただ涙があふれてくるだけ
理想に満ちたあの頃の
心は今は荒れ果て
矛盾ばかりの自分を生きてる
I don't wanna cry no more
I don't wanna cry cry cry
あとどのくらい cry cry
強がりだけを武器にして
戦ってきた弱虫
きみは全部知っててくれたね
I don't wanna cry no more
I don't wanna cry cry cry
泣きたいくらいなの
壊れるくらい cry cry
Oh この淋しさに
いつか終わりはあるの
I don't wanna cry no more
I don't wanna cry cry cry
あとどのくらいなの
I don't wanna cry cry cry
あとどのくらい baby
泣きたい cry cry cry
I don't wanna cry no more
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry
The lyrics of 中島美嘉's song "Cry No More" express a deep sense of pain and sadness that the singer feels. She talks about how true wounds do not hurt so much, but losing one's voice and words and being left with just tears overflowing from the eyes is unbearable. She mentions how her heart, which was filled with ideals in the past, is now in ruins, and she is living a life of contradictions. The singer expresses her desire to stop crying and wanting to live her life without tears. She talks about putting up a strong front all her life and fighting her battles with a facade of strength. She thanks her confidant for understanding her weaknesses despite her pretenses of being strong. She repeats her desire to stop crying and the pain that the act of crying brings, but she also acknowledges her deep feelings of loneliness and how broken she feels.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the need to stop crying and find a resolution to the pain that one feels. It urges the listener to end the cycle of tears and suffering and move towards a brighter future.

This is such a good and beautiful song. While it’s okay to cry sometimes, we shouldn’t do it all the time. We need to be strong no matter what.
@ivorymarston2648
I like that :)

Quer dizer que agora o Youtube resolveu ceder as pressões de fãs de animes e ignorar os direitos autoriais? Então o site não tem o rabo tão preso assim...tava querendo mesmo essa música, até por que toda vez que alguém postava a mesma, a mesma tinha só o vídeo sem o som...
