Tears On My Pillow
C. C. Productions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Babe, like all dreamers do
Feel the shadows of a heartache
Out of reach and out of touch
If I give you babe so much
Feel the shadows of a heartache
Oh, this restless world - I need my dream
Someone, save my life
[Chorus: ]
Tears won't wash away my heartache
Tears won't wash away, tears won't wash away
Tears won't wash away my heartache
Tears won't wash away, tears won't wash away
And I'm losing my dream - I pray to you
Davie, oh Davie - I'm dreaming
Davie, oh Davie - believe me
Tears won't wash it away
Oh, won't wash it away
'Cause to get hold on hard baby
Say farewell, don't say goodbye
It's too late for a try
Why can't we live together
Years may come and years may go
Oh, you hurt before you know
In the shadows of a heartache
I'll be afraid I'm losing you
Oh, don't save my life, babe
Oh, you're making blue
[Chorus: ]
The lyrics to C.C. Productions's "Tears on My Pillow" speak of heartbreak and the desire to hold onto a dream, even if it seems out of reach. The singer sold their heart to someone, but it seems the relationship has ended or is ending. They feel the shadows of heartache closing in, but they still hold onto the hope that their dream can be salvaged. They are begging for someone to save their life, which suggests that their emotional wellbeing is at stake. However, this person is losing their grip on that dream and feels it slipping away. The chorus repeats that tears won't wash away the heartache, which is a testament to the depth of the singer's pain.
The second verse contains a reference to Davie, who is most likely a fictional or perhaps personal character. The singer is imploring Davie to believe them, but it's not clear what they are trying to convince them of. The use of "Davie" could represent an escape or distraction from the reality of the singer's situation. They continue to plead with the person they sold their heart to, acknowledging that it may be too late to salvage the relationship. They wonder why they can't live together and express their fear of losing this person. In the end, the singer is grieving and in pain, with no clear resolution to their heartache.
