Tears
Knuckles Frankie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm crying
Tears so many
Tears
So so many tears (repeat 8 times)
I am real good actor
This is a heavy road
Like a clown and I've been smiling
Whenever people are all around
But when the curtain comes down and the circus is through
No one is left but me and you and all my tears
So many tears my tears
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
Tears
Regretting nothing but the pain
My heart my life my world is filled with rain
I'm drowning when the curtain comes down and the circus is through
No one is left but me you and all my tears
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away so many
One word could take their place so many
One word could wash them away so many
One word could take their place so many
Tears
So many tears, tears one word could wash them away
Baby I just want to step back and look at my eyes
I've been crying girl cant you see
Oh girl
That dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
dripping and dropping and dropping and dripping and
dripping and dropping ,.
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place (all over me)
One word could wash them away (tears)
One word could take their place so many
One word could wash them away so many
One word could take their place so many tears
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place (teeeaaarrrsssss)
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
You gotta come off that stage baby
Come on home and rescues me
I want you to sing for me girl
I want you to dance for me baby
Move that body for me
Come on baby
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
One word could wash them away
One word could take their place
In "Tears," Knuckles Frankie sings about his inner turmoil and the pain he feels in his heart due to a broken relationship. He confesses that he is a good actor and can mask his feelings in front of others, but when the curtains come down, he is left alone with his emotions. He is drowning in his tears and regrets nothing but the pain he is experiencing. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and vulnerability as Knuckles pleads for his lover to understand the depth of his pain and come home to him.
The repeated use of the word tears intensifies the emotional weight of the song. The line "one word could wash them away" suggests that all it takes is a small gesture or a word from his lover for Knuckles to be able to move on from his pain. However, the repetition of "one word could take their place" signifies the difficulty of forgetting someone who has left such an impact on his life.
The imagery of a circus is also present in the lyrics, representing the ups and downs of their tumultuous relationship. The circus may also represent the spectacle of their love life, where they put on a facade for others but face the harsh reality of their feelings behind closed doors.

I am real good actor

Like a clown and I've been smiling
I've been pretending to be happy like a clown, but my sadness is real
Whenever people are all around
I only pretend to be happy when there are other people around
But when the curtain comes down and the circus is through
When we're alone and the façade is over
No one is left but me and you and all my tears
When we're alone, all I feel is sadness and tears
One word could wash them away
I wish there was a simple solution to my sadness
One word could take their place
I wish there was something that could replace my sadness
Regretting nothing but the pain
I don't regret anything except the emotional pain I am feeling
My heart my life my world is filled with rain
My life is filled with sadness and tears
I'm drowning when the curtain comes down and the circus is through
When we're alone, my sadness overwhelms me
No one is left but me you and all my tears
Until we're alone and the façade is over, no one understands the depth of my sadness
Baby I just want to step back and look at my eyes
I just want to reflect on my sadness and pain
I've been crying girl cant you see
I've been crying and I want you to understand

Brings me back to the days of the "classic warehouse" parties in Toronto in the late 80's. Truly was the best time of my life. Dancing all night until the sun came up to this new post disco sound. No pills needed, just getting high on the fantastic music. I still at 51 listen to house music daily.
