Tears
Boy Harsher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What′s this version
Of your life?
You only come
When spoken to
But, you follow with the knife
My blood - it runs clear
You make feel like falling
Through
I disappear, in my mind
Hate body
Hate body
Hate body
Hate body
Hate body
Hate body
(Who am I? Who am I? Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?)
What's this horse
You′re beating down?
Self restraint in her eyes
I left this place so long ago
But your face keeps it alive
To feel, that fear
My blood - it runs clear
You make feeling like giving
Up. I disappear, in the lies
(Just walk away)
(Just walk away)
(Just walk away)
(Just walk away)
(Just walk away)
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Just walk away
The song "Tears" by Boy Harsher is a track that features melancholic yet darkwave beats that bring out a mix of emotions. The first verse highlights the uneasiness with one's life and discomfort that they may feel with their situation. The line "you only come when spoken to, but you follow with a knife" suggests that they may feel as though they are being watched or stalked by an obsessive person who poses a threat. This causes fear and highlights the darkness surrounding the situation.
The chorus of the song broadens the perspective, showcasing self-loathing that is directed towards the body. The repetition of "hate body" emphasizes the feelings of low self-esteem and how the pain is internalized. The persona could be battling with their identity, trying to understand who they are and where they stand in society. The lines "who am I?" suggest an inner turmoil and a yearning to find one's true identity.
The second verse of the song delves into a sense of aggression and restraint. The line "what's this horse you're beating down? self-restraint in her eyes" depicts internal conflict and battling with the desire to express oneself versus the fear of retaliation. The final lines "just walk away" calls for escape or distancing oneself from the source of pain, to seek solace elsewhere.

Up. I disappear, in the lies
You make me want to give up, to stop trying. I lose myself in the illusions

80's Cold Wave influences + modern sound = Boy Harsher. I'm totally addicted to them! This woman has a beautiful gothic voice!
@matheusfrota95
What I find really interesting is the fact that Jae's "regular" voice is Pretty contrasting to her singing tone.
Both are awesome.
@soudontlikeme

@SuperMinipunk
Her voice is stellar. But the programming and production skills of Gus are what makes those records unforgettable. Best of both worlds. Lot's of love boy Harsher, keep on the great work you both have been doing since the beginning.
