Cry
Afterlife Feat Rachel Lloyd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish upon the reasons for myself
I ask you for a reason I was there
I asked you knowing now I'm lonely then
I had called upon you there
the reasons for I know that
I was once setting sail on your ship
You questions
The reasons
I cry





Overall Meaning

"Cry" by Afterlife feat. Rachel Lloyd is a song packed with raw emotions and deep meaning. The lyrics of the song talk about seeking reasons for one's existence and feeling lonely despite the presence of someone who was once important. Rachel Lloyd's voice perfectly captures the vulnerability and the pain of the lyrics.


The song begins with the singer wishing for reasons for her existence while also asking someone for a reason for her being there. She admits to feeling lonely and seeking solace in the person she is addressing. The repetition of the word "reasons" reflects the constant search for meaning and purpose in life. She then reflects on a time when she was once setting sail on their ship, indicating that they were once close, but now it seems like they have drifted apart. The questions they ask each other are left unanswered, and the reasons for their separation remain unknown.


The line "I cry" is repeated multiple times, serving as a reminder of the emotional turmoil she is going through. The song ends with her crying, presumably due to the frustration of not finding the reasons she seeks or finding a way out of her loneliness despite the presence of someone she once relied on.
