Track of My Tears
Kotch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
In Kotch's "Tracks of My Tears," the singer laments about his sadness and feelings of emptiness behind his laughter and humor. He explains that he may be the life of the party, but it's just a façade. He still feels blue inside, and the smile on his face looks out of place, revealing the tracks of his tears. He further emphasizes how much he needs his ex-lover by his side and how he's just with other girls as substitutes for his permanent one.
The song's lyrics delve into the themes of heartbreak, loneliness, and the importance of true love. The singer is trying to show everyone that he's okay and that he's moved on from his past relationship, but he's fooling no one but himself, and he's becoming a clown or a jester because of it. The song's opening lyrics, "People say I'm the life of the party because I tell a joke or two," says a lot about the singer's personality. It reveals that he uses humor as a coping mechanism to cover up his emotional struggles.
Line by Line Meaning
People say I'm the life of the party
People think I'm the one who brings joy to the party
Because I tell a joke or two
I crack some jokes to make people laugh
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Even though I may seem happy and carefree on the outside
Deep inside I'm blue
I'm actually sad and hurting inside
So take a good look at my face
If you pay attention to my expressions
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile doesn't match how I'm really feeling
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
If you examine more closely
The tracks of my tears
You'll notice the evidence of my crying
I need you, need you
I miss and want you back
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
If you see me with another girl after you left me
Seeming like I'm having fun
Appearing as though I'm enjoying myself
Although she may be cute
Even if the girl is attractive
She's just a substitute
She's not the real thing
Because you're the permanent one
Because you are the one I truly want to be with
Outside I'm masquerading
Externally, I'm pretending to be someone I'm not
Inside my hope is fading
Internally, I'm losing optimism
Just a clown oh yeah
I'm like a jester, trying to entertain others
Since you put me down
Ever since you broke up with me
My smile is my make up
My smile covers up my sadness
I wear since my break up with you
I've been putting on this facade since we separated
