Chester See Kevjumba & Ryan Higa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here it comes
Can't you see
That we're tough guys and we have feelings.
Take my hand
Close your eyes
With you right here
Imma shed a tear and cry
Don't be afraid to cry cry
You can still be a manly guy guy
Just cry.
Don't be afraid to cry cry
Let it free fall from your eyes eyes

Wake up see a sunrise
Let it free fall from your eyes.
Start my day and I read a sonnet
Got got a soft cheek with a tear on it.
Step out and the skies are clear
I'm a man and I have no fear.
Take a step and I land in crap.
I let it out, no holding back.

Here it comes
Can't you see
That we're tough guys and we have feelings.
Take my hand
Close your eyes
With you right here
Imma shed a tear and cry
Don't be afraid to cry cry
You can still be a manly guy guy
Just cry.
Don't be afraid to cry cry
Let it free fall from your eyes eyes

Baby we can go out on a first date.
But you come and pick me up half an hour late.
Girl I'm not gonna lie, that you almost made me cry,
But I'm a masculine man ill be ok.
Yeah, your place, toy story 3
the greatest all time kid's movie.




But I forgot, Andy leaves Woody,
And now the tears are coming right back over me.

Overall Meaning

The song "Shed a Tear" by Chester See, Kevjumba, and Ryan Higa is an upbeat and spirited tune that encourages listeners to let their emotions out and not be afraid to cry. The song is a modern interpretation of the cultural expectation that men must always remain stoic and never show their vulnerability. The opening lines suggest that even though the three artists may be perceived as "tough guys," they still have feelings and are not afraid to express them. The song goes on to emphasize that crying does not make you any less of a man, and that it's okay to let go of your emotions and cry freely.


The chorus, "Don't be afraid to cry cry, You can still be a manly guy guy, Just cry," serves as a reminder that men should not feel ashamed or hide their tears. The following verse speaks about the importance of releasing emotions and not holding back. The lyrics tell us to wake up and see the sunrise, then let our tears "free fall" from our eyes. The song suggests that crying is a natural and healthy way to express and release emotions.


The final verse discusses a first date, where the singer almost cried due to his partner's lateness. However, he reassures her that he is a "masculine man" and that he'll be okay. The song then talks about watching Toy Story 3, where the singer, Andy, leaves Woody behind. This emotional moment brings the tears back to the singer's eyes, and the song ends with the chorus reiterating the message that it's okay to cry.


Overall, the song promotes vulnerability and emotional expression, challenging traditional ideas of masculinity that encourage men to suppress their feelings.
