Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to shake my hand
Here my friends
There's so much more to life then this
I tried to kill pain today
I want to breathe again
I tried to kill myself today
I couldn't take it anymore
I tried to kill myself
Then why are you here my friends
Just to shake my hand
Why am I here my friends
There's so much more to life than this
Is there another way
A place I would like to stay
I tried to kill myself
Then why are you here my friends
Just to shake my hand
Why am I here my friends
There's so much more to life than this
Why are you here my friends
Just to shake my hand
Why am I here my friends
There's so much more to life than this
Then why are you here
Then why are you here my friends
Just to shake my hand
Why am I here my friends
Why are you here my friends
Just to shake my hand
Why am I here my friends
There's so much more to life than this
The lyrics of Perfect's song Cry depict a person who is struggling with intense emotional pain and contemplating taking their own life. They have attempted suicide and express feelings of hopelessness and desperation. The repetition of the question, "Why are you here my friends?" suggests a sense of confusion and disbelief that others would care about them, yet they are grateful and surprised to see their friends visit them. Ultimately, the song points to a longing for a different existence, a place where they can find peace and contentment, and emphasizes that there is so much more to life than the intense hurt they are currently experiencing.
The song's lyrics convey a powerful and moving message about mental health and suicide prevention. The lyrics highlight the importance of friends and social support in times of crisis and call for a deeper understanding and empathy for those who may be suffering with depression, anxiety or other mental health issues. The song's somber, melancholy tone is matched with simple but powerful lyrics that paint a vivid and raw picture of the experience of mental pain and suicide.
