Cry
Money Mark Lyrics

The lyrics to Money Mark's song Cry express deep feelings of love and longing for an unnamed individual. The singer admits to never having told anyone about their love, possibly indicating either fear or insecurity about their feelings. Yet, the person is constantly on the singer's mind, even as the setting sun marks the end of each day. In the quiet of night, when the person is again alone, they cry. This repetition of "I'm cryin'," highlights the depth of emotion and vulnerability felt by the singer.

The main body of the song suggests that the singer cannot be with the object of their affection, as they "can't get next to you," and "don't really try." The song itself is offered as a kind of tribute, with the singer sending it to the person so they can "play it in your box." It would seem that the act of writing and performing the song is the singer's way of expressing their feelings, overcoming their fear, and reaching out to the person.

The final lines of the song lead into a keyboard solo and reveal even more vulnerability as the singer admits, "I don't really feel like a man, feelin' low." The cathartic solo shows that the act of creating music can be a way of processing emotions and reflecting on experiences. Ultimately, the song conveys an unrequited love and a sense of longing that can be difficult to express in words alone, but through music and art, the singer is able to connect on a more profound level with their own feelings.
