MY WHOLE LIFE CRYING
Mishima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've wasted my youth just dreaming I could talk to God
I′m tired of pretending my life's a bliss
I'm really tired of knowing my life′s a mess
Being just a silly moaner I drank my days of joy
Being just a stupid dreamer I forgot my lovers′ names
'Cause I was only crying
And I was only dreaming
Just dreaming I could talk to God
But now these days are over, honey
As I′m finding new relief
I let my tears spring over but I print my handkerchiefs
Yeah, and now these days are over, honey
As I'm learning how to sing
I let my tears spring over
And all the tears are drops of spring
That′s why my songs are raining the whole night long
You'll better just be leaving
Or you′ll soon catch a cold
You'll better just be leaving
Or you'll soon catch a cold
Come on
These lyrics from Mishima's song MY WHOLE LIFE CRYING express the poet's lament over wasted youth and unfulfilled dreams. Throughout his life, the poet has been crying over himself, feeling sorry for himself and living in a state of hopelessness. He wasted his youth dreaming of being able to talk to God and seeking a way out of his misery.
Despite pretending that his life is bliss and that everything is okay, he is tired of living a lie and knowing that his life is a mess. The poet spends his days drinking and forgetting his lovers' names, lost in his own world of despair. He is only crying and dreaming about talking to God, trying to find a way out of his misery.
However, with these days being over, the poet is finding new relief and learning how to sing. He still cries, but now he prints his handkerchiefs and sees his tears as drops of spring. He uses his songs to express his sadness and to release his emotions, raining the whole night long. The poet warns others to leave him alone, as they may catch his cold.
In summary, the lyrics of MY WHOLE LIFE CRYING by Mishima reflect a sense of hopelessness and despair, but also a newfound sense of relief and release through music.
