Tears Run Dry
Fool's Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silently from your face.
Tears run dry
Silently from your face,
From your grace.
Dry.
Let us fly,
Let us try,
Try it now and not tomorrow.
Let us breathe this concentrate of freedom,
Let us dive into the endless sky.
T houghts remain and those who dream
Will see them.
Don't hesitate no longer,
Let us fly.
Tears run dry
Silently from your face.
Tears run dry
Silently from your face,
From your face.
Dry.
Come on, fly,
Fly away, these rooms are empty.
Come on, try,
Try it now, I know you will see.
You've got it deep inside your heart,
No sorry.
Excuse can ever make you
Change this place.
Don't be afraid to fly just try,
Don't worry.
Yes, I can see it
On your face.
Tears run dry
Silently from your face.
Tears run dry
Silently from your face,
From your face.
Dry.
Come on...
Tears run dry
Silently from your face,
From your grace.
Dry.
The song "Tears Run Dry" by Fool's Garden is a call to action to leave behind sadness and sorrow and to embrace freedom and flying away from it all. The tears running dry silently from the face indicate that the pain is there and present, but no longer consuming. The chorus is a repetition of the same lines, which drives the message home - the tears have run dry, it's time to leave them behind and fly away from the heartache.
The lyrics convey a sense of urgency to the listener - let us fly away now, not tomorrow. The concentrate of freedom is an interesting phrase - perhaps it means that one should focus solely on freedom and not let anything else distract or hinder the pursuit of it. The endless sky is an important symbol, indicating infinite possibilities and opportunities. The final lines of the song are encouraging and hopeful - the idea that there is something deep inside the heart waiting to be discovered and embraced.
Overall, the song is a message of hope, encouragement and a plea to take action and leave behind anything that is holding one back from true freedom and happiness.
