He expands on that idea:
"I’m so proud of how I walked through that season. I made the absolute most of it. I’m not just a better writer and a better artist, I’m a better person. I feel so much more in touch with who I am and how I think and feel.. It’s been the most productive 45 days of my life."
The song is the official first look into the “moon era” for the band.
Frontman Paul Klein said the following in the band’s newsletter:
the beginning of 2018 was crazy and kind of awful but also kind of amazing and i threw myself into an environment to write a song every monday thru friday up until valentine’s day. it was the worst of times, it was the best of times… but actually it was the most special of times. i got to spill my guts, talk my face off, gather myself, and write songs that were honest to a fault and cathartic to a saving degree for my soul.
"“thru these tears” is especially important. at the time – i was writing it for me. but now that i’m healed and whole, it’s for you. i am 1 in like 7 billion that have experienced some sort of disappointment or pain. but i know more than anyone that therapy is just talking it out. and if i can put into words what most can’t, and give people something they can sing along to and hear themselves “talk it out” to, then maybe i can do my part in making this world a better place."
He also said the following in this Instagram caption:
"this song and the others on “malibu nights” are pieces of music and art that i have dreamt of making since i was a kid. we’ve pushed ourselves to the absolute limit, dug deeper than ever before, and come out with something so pure and honest and powerful. i’m proud of us"
”Thru These Tears” was made and produced in May 2018, during the 50 days set aside to write material for the new LANY record.
In an interview with Music News, lead singer Paul Klein said:
“It was a real labor of love but we got it there and I’m really proud of it."
"I started writing and I didn’t know at the time if it was for album two or if it was just to kind of keep me sane or to help me through this like kind of rough patch I was going through but, I think this was like the fifth song during the process of throwing myself in a room almost every single day and trying to write a song. During this season there was two ways my day would go. Either after a day in the studio I would feel like I was on top of the world and I would drive all the way back home to Malibu listening to what I had just written on repeat and just feeling like all right because there’s like nothing better. There’s no better feeling than having like something up your sleeve that you’re really proud of or, you want to drive just straight into the ocean and just kind of like end it all. So this is one of those days where I was feeling really nice and sometimes after I finished a song and I feel really good about it I want to go and like eat by myself and I put my headphones in and just listen and so that’s what I did and I went had dinner by myself around like 10:30. I drove home to Malibu and during this time when I was just kind of pretty broken up inside, I hadn’t really cried because you know when you’re super upset and you really just feel like more sick at your stomach then you’re not really ever able to cry, I hadn’t really cried yet. I was driving home and I was listening “I Don’t Want to Love You Anymore,” another song off the album, and something hit me and I had to pull my car over and I basically wept. I like cried myself dry for like ten or fifteen minutes I pulled myself together and I had this thought I was like, Paul like you know this road. You’ve been down this road you know how to get home you just can’t see it because you’re crying like dude you’re gonna be alright. Like you’re definitely gonna be alright you just can’t see it right now through your tears. I was like damn that’s what I’m gonna do tomorrow I’m gonna write a song called “Thru These Tears.”"
Thru These Tears
Lany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I keep telling myself
It's gonna get better
But it's taking forever
I tried to go out
But every time I leave the house
Something reminds me
Of what's now behind me
Everyday I let go
Just a little bit more
In the end I'm gonna be alright
But it might take a hundred sleepless nights
To make the memories of you disappear
But right now I can't see nothing through these tears
Control my thoughts
Convincing myself it's your loss
I really mean it
And I'm starting to believe it
'Cause everyday I let go
Just a little bit more
In the end I'm gonna be alright
But it might take a hundred sleepless nights
To make the memories of you disappear
But right now I can't see nothing through these tears
Out of sight but you're not out of my mind
So it might take somebody else at night
To make it feel like you were never here
But right now I can't see nothing through these tears
You said it was over
But when we got closer
You cried on my shoulder
Goodbye
In the end I'm gonna be alright
But it might take a hundred sleepless nights
To make the memories of you disappear
But right now I can't see nothing through these tears
Out of sight but you're not out of my mind
So it might take somebody else at night
To make it feel like you were never here
But right now I can't see nothing through these tears
Driving home on an empty highway
I thought about you and I hit the brakes
What we had and who we were was so clear
But right now I can't see nothing through these tears
In Lany's song Thru These Tears, the lyrics express the pain and heartbreak of a recent breakup. The singer is trying to cope with the pain and move on, but it's taking longer than expected. The chorus emphasizes the struggle of trying to forget someone, as it may take a lot of time and sleepless nights to let go completely. The singer tries to convince themselves that they'll be okay in the end, but right now all they see is the hurt and pain they feel.
The verses of the song highlight the difficulties of going out and doing normal things, as everything seems to remind the singer of the person they lost. They also explore the idea of trying to control one's thoughts and feelings, convincing oneself that it was the other person's loss and believing that they'll be okay eventually. However, the pain and tears are still overwhelming, and it's hard for the singer to see a future without the other person.
The bridge of the song reveals that the breakup was initiated by the other person, but they cried on the singer's shoulder during the goodbye. This adds another layer of complexity to the situation and highlights the confusion and mixed emotions of the singer.

This hurts like hell
The pain of what happened is almost unbearable
But I keep telling myself
I am trying to convince myself that things will get better
It's gonna get better
I believe that eventually I will feel better
But it's taking forever
But it's been a long time and I'm still struggling
I tried to go out
I tried to distract myself and move on
But every time I leave the house
But every time I go outside, something reminds me of what I've lost
Something reminds me
I'm constantly being reminded of the pain I'm feeling
Of what's now behind me
Of what I've lost and can't get back
Everyday I let go
Everyday I try to move on
Just a little bit more
Little by little, I try to let go of my pain
In the end I'm gonna be alright
Eventually I will be okay
But it might take a hundred sleepless nights
But it might take a long time to get to that point
To make the memories of you disappear
To stop thinking about you and what we had
But right now I can't see nothing through these tears
But right now I'm blinded by my pain and can't see past it
Control my thoughts
I am trying to control my thoughts about you
Convincing myself it's your loss
I am trying to believe that it's your loss and not mine
I really mean it
I truly believe that you lost out
And I'm starting to believe it
I'm starting to convince myself that it's true
Out of sight but you're not out of my mind
Even though you're not physically here, you're still on my mind
So it might take somebody else at night
It might take being with someone else to help me forget you
To make it feel like you were never here
To make me feel like you were never a part of my life
You said it was over
You ended things between us
But when we got closer
But when we were together again
You cried on my shoulder
You cried about what we lost and what could have been
Goodbye
You said goodbye for good
Driving home on an empty highway
On my way home on a deserted road
I thought about you and I hit the brakes
I was thinking about you and had to stop the car
What we had and who we were was so clear
I had a clear image of what we used to have and who we were to each other
But right now I can't see nothing through these tears
But right now I am still in pain and can't see past it

[Verse 1]
This hurts like hell
But I keep telling myself
It's gonna get better
But it's taking forever
I tried to go out
But every time I leave the house
Something reminds me
Of what's now behind me
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyday I let go
Just a little bit more
[Chorus]
In the end I'm gonna be alright
But it might take a hundred sleepless nights
To make the memories of you disappear
But right now I can't see nothing through these tears
[Verse 2]
Control my thoughts
Convincing myself it's your loss
I really mean it
And I'm starting to believe it
