Cry for Me
Mordacious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
Don't you lie to me
Don't you cry for me

You're just infatuated with me
I saw that look in your eyes
That smirk on your face
Pretending to be something else
Something you could never be
Don't you, don't you
Don't you cry for me

It was meaningless fun
No cruelty intended
Just fun times for us to share
For us to share

You took it the wrong way
Now it's falling apart in my hands
And I can't fix this
I can't fix this

I've always kept my distance
Trying not to get involved
Just trying to use you
Just trying to hide
My emotion, my fear
My fear and my regret

Showing false emotion
To get what I want
You should have seen right through me
Now you're obsessed with me

I've always kept my distance
Trying not to get involved




Just trying to use you
Just trying to hide fear

Overall Meaning

In the song Cry For Me by Mordacious, the lyrics tell a story of a seemingly one-sided relationship. The singer is warning their partner, or perhaps more accurately, their fling not to profess their love or cry for them because they never truly meant anything. The singer seems to have just used their partner for entertainment and never intended to take the relationship seriously. The partner took things the wrong way and became infatuated, but the singer still wants nothing to do with them. The singer has always kept their distance, and while they may have shown false emotion to get what they want, they never intended to hurt anyone. They're hiding their fear and regret, trying not to get too involved, but it's too late now as their partner has become obsessed with them.


The themes of the song revolve around meaningless and one-sided relationships that often end in heartbreak. It warns against falling too quickly for someone when you don't know them well enough and being cautious of those who show little emotion or regard for others' feelings. The singer seems to be struggling with some inner turmoil that they're not ready to confront or perhaps never will face. They hide behind a facade of indifference and apathy, not getting too involved in anything. This could be a commentary on how we often construct walls to protect ourselves, but in the end, we end up hurting ourselves and others.
