For tonight, we tell them, "goodbye"
Let's get lost and have a good time
Lose the things that make you cry
Save those tears for later

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Don Diablo & Galantis's song "Tears for Later" seem to be an invitation to forget about the mundane realities of life and enjoy the moment. The repeated phrase "Save those tears for later" suggests that the singer wants to encourage listeners to let go of the worries and hardships and live in the present. The use of the word "tonight" throughout the song emphasizes the temporary nature of the escapism being offered - this experience is only for one night, and it's important to make the most of it.


The lyrics also suggest that the best way to forget about one's troubles is to get lost in the music and let it take you to a happier place. The line "Let the music get you high" reinforces this idea, as if the songwriter is prescribing music as a form of therapy for the weary and disheartened. The song's repetitive structure and catchy melody create an upbeat atmosphere that's designed to get listeners moving and feeling good.


Overall, "Tears for Later" is a song that encourages listeners to forget about their worries and have fun. It's a reminder that sometimes it's important to let go of the things that make us sad and just dance the night away. In some ways, the song can be seen as a form of self-care, as it encourages listeners to take a break from the stresses of everyday life and recharge their batteries.
