don't cry
Ken Lazio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is anything but fair
Don't say that it's not
'Cause you get what you want
And I, well I don't want this situation

Don't tell anyone that
This is
This
This is
What I've found
I'm surrounded
Don't tell anyone that
This is
This
This is
Where I'm found
I'm so surrounded

And I, oh I believe
It's never too late
To be where I have been
And I think we
We are meant to be
We are meant to

I've been here somewhere before
Covered in frustration
But still I've lost me somewhere
And I don't want this situation

Don't tell anyone that
This is
This
This is
What I've found
I'm surrounded
Don't tell anyone that
This is
This
This is




Where I'm found
And I am done

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ken Lazio's song Don't Cry explore feelings of frustration, isolation, and a sense of being trapped in an undesirable situation. The opening lines - "This is anything but fair / Don't say that it's not" - set the tone of someone who is unhappy with their circumstances, but is suppressed by someone else who is getting their way. The singer feels stuck in a situation they don't want to be in, but doesn't feel like they have a way out. This sense of feeling trapped is reinforced by the repeated refrain of "I'm surrounded," indicating a feeling of being hemmed in or even besieged.


The second verse continues with this theme, with the singer suggesting that they have been in this kind of situation before and have lost themselves in the process. However, they maintain that it is "never too late" to get back to where they want to be, expressing a sense of hope for a brighter future. The final line "And I am done" suggests a feeling of resignation, as if they are tired of fighting against their circumstances and ready to accept what is.

Open your eyes, that won't kill you, it's not a wonder
Maybe it's just a love that's gone
I can't be right, do you get the feelings through your heart (into your heart, into your heart, into your heart?)
What do you think about it?
Do you think that is to hide your pride?
What are you doing about yourself?
Baby you can tell me, don't be so afraid and
Don't cry
Don't cry, this is my life
You have it better now, don't lose your mind
My baby you can feel me, maybe you can see me
Don't cry
Must wait forever to forget my eyes
You have it better now, don't lose your time
My baby you can feel me, maybe you can see me
Don't cry
Love in your eyes, look at the world, you've been a strong girl
Maybe you'll reach for your door
And I must believe that your kind of smile will take this heart
What do you think about it?
Do you think that is to hide your pride?
What are you doing about yourself?
Baby you can tell me, don't be so afraid and
Don't cry
Don't cry, this is my life
You have it better now, don't lose your mind
My baby you can feel me, maybe you can see me
Don't cry
Must wait forever to forget my eyes
You have it better now, don't lose your time
My baby you can feel me, maybe you can see me
Don't cry
What do you think about it?
Do you think that is to hide your pride?
What are you doing about yourself?
Baby you can tell me, don't be so afraid and
Don't cry
Don't cry, this is my life
You have it better now, don't lose your mind
My baby you can feel me, maybe you can see me
Don't cry
Must wait forever to forget my eyes
You have it better now, don't lose your time
My baby you can feel me, maybe you can see me
Don't 😭

When I was young, my mother was an aerobics instructor. I still remember my mother dancing to the rhythm of Ken Laszlo's Don't Cry. My mother passed away on March 3, 2021. However, the memories of my mother in this music still make me cry.

Thanks for uploading this music.

제가 중학교 1학년때 학교에서 반대항 단체 에어로빅 할때 우리반에서 선곡했던 음악이었죠. 아직도 생생한 그때의 아름다운 추억입니다. 벌써 30년이 넘은 이야기네요

This guy made so many songs that sound like they should be absolute 80s classics. He is the, THE underground pop star. Unlike so many 80s stars he never was a one hit wonder yet he made a depth of awesome music. I think his music will be fully recognized someday way after his prime. Maybe one of his songs will be used in a movie or something and he'll hit the charts again as the undiscovered artist.
