Tears
Human Drama Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See the pictures on the wall
The glory of the faces
Who never understood at all
The power of the moment
Or where the moment could lead

When the power starts to fade
Weak, we start to tremble
It becomes an avalanche
We are overtaken by a feeling burning to get out

Our tears
There is nothing we can do to dry them

A starry sky tonight
Could turn to storm tomorrow
If it does we must be brave
We must live through it
Fear only kills if we allow

But the power of my love
Reaches farther then my touch
And it is more real
Then any trick your mind can play
And any trick I've been the victim of

Our tears
There is nothing we can do to dry them

If only I could carry you away
If we really were all we need
We'd have to create another place
That no one else has ever been
If only I could learn how to love
As strong as the pain I feel
I could dry our tears

There is writing on the wall
I know because I wrote it
Says it's ok to dream




And it's alright to promise
Just don't promise what you dream

Overall Meaning

Human Drama's "Tears" is a moving and introspective song about the fragility of life and the emotional weight that each individual carries with them. The lyrics offer a meditation on the fleeting nature of time and the power that individual moments can hold. The opening lines, "See the pictures on the wall / The glory of the faces / Who never understood at all / The power of the moment", set the tone for a reflection on missed opportunities and lost connections.


As the song progresses, the listener is drawn into a deeper exploration of the human experience, one that acknowledges the inevitability of pain and suffering while urging us to keep moving forward. The lines "A starry sky tonight / Could turn to storm tomorrow / If it does we must be brave / We must live through it / Fear only kills if we allow" highlight the importance of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.


Ultimately, the song is a call to embrace life fully, to cherish every moment and to never give up on the possibility of love and connection. The final lines, "If only I could learn how to love / As strong as the pain I feel / I could dry our tears", offer a sense of hope and perseverance that is both powerful and deeply inspiring.


Line by Line Meaning

See the pictures on the wall
Observing the pictures hung on the wall


The glory of the faces
Appreciating the beauty of the faces in the pictures


Who never understood at all
The faces in the pictures do not understand life's moments


The power of the moment
The significance of the present moment


Or where the moment could lead
Uncertainty of the future from the present moment


When the power starts to fade
When the emotion associated with the moment wanes


Weak, we start to tremble
As we lose strength, we become fearful


It becomes an avalanche
The emotion builds up rapidly, overwhelming us


We are overtaken by a feeling burning to get out
The intensity of the emotion needs to be expressed through tears


Our tears
Crying is the only way to release the overwhelming emotion


There is nothing we can do to dry them
We cannot control the emotions that prompt the tears


A starry sky tonight
The sky displaying stars at night


Could turn to storm tomorrow
The weather changing unexpectedly from clear to stormy


If it does we must be brave
We need to have courage to face challenging circumstances


We must live through it
Enduring difficulties rather than avoiding them


Fear only kills if we allow
Fear can hold one back unless it's overcome with bravery


But the power of my love
The depth of love's influence


Reaches farther then my touch
Love transcends physical distance


And it is more real
The perception of love surpasses the grasp of the senses


Then any trick your mind can play
Love exists beyond psychological or emotional deception


And any trick I've been the victim of
Not allowing oneself to be conquer by deceitful thoughts


If only I could carry you away
The desire to remove a loved one from certain life events


If we really were all we need
The fantasy of relying solely on love's strength


We'd have to create another place
A new place where only love can endure


That no one else has ever been
A unique space outside the boundaries of society's norms


If only I could learn how to love
The desire to love deeply and profoundly


As strong as the pain I feel
The thirst to experience love with the same intensity as pain


I could dry our tears
The ability of love to heal the pain that causes tears


There is writing on the wall
Words written on the wall


I know because I wrote it
The writer acknowledges their authorship of the words


Says it's ok to dream
The words on the wall give permission to dream


And it's alright to promise
The words acknowledge the value and legitimacy of making promises


Just don't promise what you dream
Advice to avoid making promises that are unrealistic and unattainable
