No More Tears
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack

Your mamma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror, tell me, do you think your life's in danger here?
No more tears (tears, tears)
No more tears (tears, tears)
No more tears (tears, tears)
No more tears (tears, tears)

Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say it's time to begin

I see the man around the corner waiting, can he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here

No more tears (tears, tears)
No more tears (tears, tears)
No more tears (tears, tears)
No more tears (tears, tears)

It's just a sign of the times
Going forward in reverse
Still, these were our first
It's just a hand in the bush
In the bush

So now that it's over can't we just say goodbye? (Bye-bye, bye-bye)
I'd like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold I don't know what else to say

I never wanted it to end this way my love, my darling
Believe me, when I say to you in love I think I'm falling here

No more tears (tears, tears)
No more tears (tears, tears)
No more tears (tears, tears)
No more tears (tears, tears)

It's just a hand in the bush
(In-in the bush, in-in the bush, in-in the bush)




(In-in the bush, in-in the bush, in-in the bush)
(In-in the bush in-in the bush)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ozzy Osbourne's "No More Tears" depict a sense of fear and uncertainty towards the future. The song essentially describes a world filled with darkness and danger, where women are not safe, and people have to be watchful of strangers. The opening lines refer to the night sky, as the crack of light is described as nothing more than a sign of approaching danger, similar to a stairway leading to darkness, symbolizing the unknown, and the uncertainty of the future.


The lyrics then focus on the idea of uncertainty in the world around us. The concept of no more tears is repeated throughout the song, perhaps a mantra to ease the sense of foreboding in the world. There is a sense of paranoia around the stranger lurking around every corner and waiting to pounce, which is reinforced by the line, "I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here." The song concludes with the idea that the future is uncertain and that the only way to move on is to accept that change is inevitable.

Lyrics:
The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack
Your momma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror, tell me, do you think you life's in danger, yeah?
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
(Tears, tears...)
Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say it's time to begin
I see the man around the corner waiting, can he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
It's just a sign of the times
Going forward in reverse
Still, he who laughs last
Is just a hand in the bush
So now that it's over, can we just say goodbye? (I'd like, I'd like)
I'd like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold, I don't know what else to say
I never wanted it to end this way, my love, my darling
Believe me when I say to you in love, I think I'm falling here
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
No more tears (Tears, tears)
Is just a hand in the bush
(In the bush, in the bush, in the bush...)

I'll never forget the day, just after Christmas this last year, I was standing in the cemetery at my great aunt's funeral and, after the prayer, the pastor whipped out a boombox and announced that "On behalf of Marlene's wishes, we'll all now be jamming out to some Ozzy," and cranked this song. There's just nothing more hardcore than listening to this in a cemetery at your 84-year-old great aunt's grave. Amazing.
