Cry for Me
ESEGYE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

날 위해 울어줘
눈물이 앞을 가리도록
날 위해 울어줘
슬픔을 내가 가지려고

흩어져 버린 너를
애써 삼키려 하지 않아도
무뎌져 버린 나는 오늘도 슬픔에 잠겨
그 어리던 우릴 삼켜

We all lie, we give up
오늘도 나의 곁에 머물러줘
We all lie, we give up
오늘도 나의 곁에 머물러줘

널 위해 울었지
술이 가득한 그날처럼
넌 내게 물었지
아직도 나를 사랑하니?

눈물이 흘러 눈을 가리고
헤매이던 길은 날 데려가
찢겨져버린 나의 순수한 의도 따위는
필요조차 없어졌네

We all lie, we give up
오늘도 나의 곁에 머물러줘
We all lie, we give up
오늘도 나의 곁에 머물러줘

We all lie, we give up
오늘도 나의 곁에 머물러줘




We all lie, we give up
오늘도 나의 곁에 머물러줘

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ESEGYE's song Cry For Me are about a person who is struggling with their emotions and is asking for someone to cry for them to help them through their pain. The first verse asks for someone to cry for them so that their tears can obscure their vision and prevent them from being consumed by sorrow. Despite trying to suppress their emotions, the singer feels numb and is locked in sadness, unable to escape the memories of their past.


In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that everyone lies and gives up sometimes but asks for the person to stay by their side regardless. The second verse shifts the focus to the singer crying for someone else, reminiscing about a drunken night when they cried for the person they loved. The same person then asks if the singer still loves them, causing their tears to flow and leading them down a path that rids them of their once pure intentions.


Overall, the lyrics delve into the pain of emotional honesty and the struggle to contain one's own emotions. The singer is asking for someone to help them through their grief, having experienced a similar situation themselves, and is grappling with the idea of what it means to truly love and be loved.
