I CRY
Octane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listening
To you breathe as you sleep
Waiting and wanting for
Near and dear love so deep
A taste unlike that
Of one I've ever known
I'm addicted and I lay before you
Trembling I hold you close

I swore I'd always love you
I swore I'd never leave you
I swore I'd never let you go

Hungering
Will I ever let go
Blood rushing in again
How I want you to know
I have no disguise, I'm naked
Vulnerable, for your taking
I give myself to you
I'm acheing

I swore I'd always love you
I swore I'd never leave you
I swore that I'd be true to you
I swore I'd never let you go





Let go...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Cry" by Octane are a declaration of deep, passionate love. The first verse expresses the feeling of being completely devoted and overwhelmed by love. The singer listens to his lover's breathing while they sleep, feeling an intense desire to be close to them. The love he feels is different from any other love he has known, and he is addicted to it. He declares this by saying, "I'm addicted and I lay before you, trembling I hold you close." The use of the word "addicted" conveys his need for his lover and how he can't get enough of their love.


The second verse describes the singer's willingness to be vulnerable with his lover. He admits that he has no "disguise," that he is "naked" and "vulnerable." This is a powerful statement of trust and openness in the relationship. The singer is essentially saying that he is willing to give himself completely to his lover, despite the risk of getting hurt. The repetition of the phrase "I swore" emphasizes his commitment and devotion to his lover.


The chorus reinforces the singer's promises to love and never let go of his lover. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the strength and certainty of his commitment. The final line, "Let go..." can be interpreted in different ways. It could be a plea to his lover not to let go of him or a statement of release, suggesting that he is ready to let go of his fears and insecurities and give himself completely to his lover.


Overall, "I Cry" is a powerful testimony to the transformative power of love. It portrays a deep, passionate, and all-consuming love that is both overwhelming and liberating. The song conveys the feeling of being completely vulnerable and exposed, yet also safe and secure in the embrace of love.
