E.G. Daily Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Igniting my regrets (In Moonlight)
Trip and fall sometimes (I Lose Sight)
Living Wrong (Still trying to do right)
Crying out for mercy ( Tonight)
Igniting my regrets (In Moonlight)
Trip and fall sometimes (I Lose Sight)
Living Wrong (Still trying to do right)
Untouched tucked away
The pain inside it grows
The pressures on my soul
Living fast 2 furious facts
Addictions All I've Known
Im high don't call my phone
Im way too in my zone
Running away but the fact that remains
Is im in this all alone
A river of thoughts inside my head
Drowning me feels like im cold and dead
Those things are meant to stay buried and tucked away
Crying out for mercy ( Tonight)
Igniting my regrets (In Moonlight)
Trip and fall sometimes (I Lose Sight)
Living Wrong (Still trying to do right)
Crying out for mercy ( Tonight)
Igniting my regrets (In Moonlight)
Trip and fall sometimes (I Lose Sight)
Living Wrong (Still trying to do right)
In E.G. Daily's song "Crying," the lyrics convey a sense of pain, regret, and struggle. The repetition of "crying out for mercy" and "igniting my regrets" emphasizes the intensity of the emotions that the singer feels. The line "living wrong, still trying to do right" indicates that the singer recognizes her mistakes and is trying to make things right, but she struggles with her addictions and the pressures on her soul. The chorus repeats, expressing the feeling of being overwhelmed and losing sight of things sometimes, which creates an emotional depth that the listener can feel.
The second verse refers to the singer's addiction issues, which are all she has ever known. She acknowledges that she is in a different state of mind and that she cannot cope, as she is disconnected from reality, running away from the situation, feeling alone and isolated. The metaphor of a "river of thoughts inside my head" is a powerful image of drowning in one's own thoughts and feeling trapped in one's thoughts.
Overall, the song is about the difficulty of dealing with personal struggles, addictions, and regrets. The singer is crying out for relief and understanding, but she may feel isolated, hopeless, and alone. The lyrics evoke the raw and intense emotions of the human experience and remind us of the importance of being kind and compassionate to one another.
