Don't Cry For Me Argentina
Anılar-9-2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was wandering
Wandering
Finding my own way
Losing my faith
I fill my pocket
Full of stones, and I
Down to the lake I go
Take me whole
Take me home
Take me home
Don't cry for me
Don't say you're sorry, No (Cause you're not)
May the last words you throw
Cut deep into your soul
Don't patronize me
Don't pray for me
Didn't mean to hurt him (Really)
May the last words I swallow
Sink deep into your heart
No need to wait
No need to leave the porch light on
Same old, same old place
Maple's turning red
Turning red
Your hair is turning gray
Where is
Your faith?
In these lyrics from Anılar-9-2's song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina," we are presented with a poignant introspection on personal struggles and emotional turmoil. The opening lines evoke a sense of familiarity and routine in the singer's life, as they find themselves in the same old place, seemingly lost and searching for a sense of direction. The repetition of "wandering" emphasizes a feeling of aimlessness and uncertainty that the singer is grappling with.
The reference to filling pockets full of stones can be interpreted as a metaphor for carrying emotional burdens or past regrets. The act of going down to the lake and letting the water take them whole suggests a desire for release and escape from these burdens, a yearning to be cleansed or reborn. The repetition of "take me home" could signify a longing for a sense of belonging or inner peace that is currently elusive.
The plea in the chorus, "Don't cry for me, Don't say you're sorry," hints at a defiance against pity or sympathy from others, suggesting a desire for independence and self-reliance. The mention of the last words cutting deep into the soul underscores the impact of words and actions on an individual's emotional well-being. The rejection of patronization and prayers conveys a sense of personal agency and a refusal to be treated as a victim or object of pity.
The later verses bring attention to a sense of regret or guilt, as the singer acknowledges unintentionally hurting someone and the consequences of their actions. The imagery of the last words sinking deep into the heart reflects the lasting emotional wounds that can result from hurtful interactions. The concluding lines, with references to the changing seasons and hair turning gray, suggest a passage of time and a reflection on the fleeting nature of life and faith. The questioning of "Where is your faith?" hints at a search for meaning or spiritual guidance in the face of turmoil or existential questioning. Overall, the lyrics of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" encapsulate themes of personal struggle, resilience, and the complexities of human emotions.
