Cry
Jacob feat. Tyra C Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In every sea there's a mouth of a river
Where waterfall riches flow down
Why do they cry?
No one knows why
In every mouth there's a word of forgiveness
That melts all the ice to the ground
Why do you sigh?
I don't know why

Why does the sky fall down
Like pouring rain?
To let it flow again
Gonna make you feel alright
Take your dreams, keep them out of sight
Wanna make you come alive
Close your eyes, keep you warm at night
So come a little closer to me
So many things I want you to see
My darling

In every laugh is the sorrow
Of all of the tears that you've held for so long
Would you make me cry?
Oh, let me run dry
In every tear are the eyes of a father
And mother that brought you to see
Sing lullaby
As you say goodnight, night, night (Goodnight)

Why do the stars look down (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10)
And feel no shame (Counting up the droplets of the tears falling from the sky)
When they are all the same?
Gonna set your mind alight
Keep you close to me and hold you tight
Wanna keep you burning bright
Take your words, shine them like a light
So come a little closer to me (Come a little closer)
So many things I want you to see (Many think I want you to see)
My darling

In every soul is the need to grow older
To speed up the passing of time




I don't know why
But it makes me cry

Overall Meaning

The song “Cry” by Jacob feat. Tyra C is a heart-touching ballad with soulful lyrics that express deep emotions of pain, forgiveness, and love. The opening lines “In every sea there's a mouth of a river. Where waterfall riches flow down”, depicts the birth of life from water and how it is an integral part of nature. The lyrics express how each mouth has a word of forgiveness that can melt all the ice to the ground, but no one knows why we still tend to cry. The lines “Why does the sky fall down, like pouring rain, to let it flow again?” describes the cycle of life and how every dark cloud has a silver lining, and one must learn to face every obstacle and come out stronger.


The verse “In every laugh is the sorrow. Of all of the tears that you've held for so long, would you make me cry? Oh, let me run dry” is a potent reminder of how sometimes happiness can be a facade. The song also speaks about understanding how every tear holds the eyes of a father and mother that brought you to see and sing lullabies to say good night. The chorus of the song is an appreciation of love and how it brings people together, and the need to hold on to it and cherish every moment. The verse “In every soul is the need to grow older, to speed up the passing of time, I don't know why, but it makes me cry” portrays the fleeting nature of life and how every moment is precious, and one must cherish them.
