tears
GROUNDBREAKING Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time, there was a boy who always cried
The child he used to be and all his past would come alive
He pondered all the moments where he felt too out of place
They had no chance to chase him out, he had already run away

He screamed, "Leave me alone"
I don't want to see you anymore"
He cried, "I have no home"
His lonely soul had rotted to the core

Once upon a time there was a man who never cared
The world had made him numb
And built his cold and deadly stare
He had realized he had never changed

He screamed, "Leave me alone"
I don't want to see you anymore"
He cried, "I have no home"
His lonely soul had rotted to the core

He had realized he had never changed
For he had stayed the same, we were all to blame

We should have listened when
He screamed, "Leave me alone"
I don't want to see you anymore"




He cried, "I have no home"
His lonely soul had rotted to the core

Overall Meaning

The song “Tears” by GROUNDBREAKING narrates two stories: one of a boy who always cried and another of a man who never cared about anything. The opening lines describe the boy's past coming back to haunt him as he recalls the moments where he felt out of place. He runs away from his problems and isolates himself from the world. The word choice of “lonely soul” and “rotted to the core” highlights the boy's deep sense of sadness and hopelessness. The repetition of “leave me alone” and “I don’t want to see you anymore” suggest that the boy is suffering from some kind of emotional pain, and he doesn’t want anyone to reach out to him for fear of rejection or judgment.


Meanwhile, the second story follows the life of a man who is emotionally detached and indifferent to everything. The lyrics suggest that he has been hurt in the past, and as a result, he has become numb to the world around him. He doesn’t care about anyone or anything, and his cold demeanor reflects the pain he has endured. The lines “he had realized he had never changed/for he had stayed the same, we were all to blame” suggest that his emotional detachment is a consequence of the society he lives in. The chorus is a repetition of the boy's earlier cries for help, and now, it is used to indicate the man's pain.


In summary, “Tears” is a poignant song that highlights the emotional struggles of individuals who are suffering from deep pain and are unable to communicate their feelings. The song gives a voice to those who are often overlooked or misunderstood. The song captures the raw emotions and the hurt that the two characters are experiencing.

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A BOY WHO ALWAYS CRIED
THE CHILD HE USED TO BE AND ALL HIS PAST WOULD COME ALIVE
HE PONDERED ALL THE MOMENTS WHERE HE FELT TOO OUT OF PLACE
THEY HAD NO CHANCE TO CHASE HIM OUT
HE HAD ALREADY RUN AWAY

HE SCREAMED

I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU ANYMORE
HE CRIED

I love the song, Keep it up!!
Is your caps broken? Do you need a new keyboard?
The Read more is slightly Edgy and depressing. But if course you'll click it because you are feeling these things.





You know it's dehumanizing if most of your feelings are related to 90% of his songs.
