Cry
Pray for the Soul of Betty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seen this face a thousand times
Falling from my fantasy
Slip inside
The world to be
A victim of your sympathy
How to kiss the fire
That burns the box we live in
Is it a shame
The game persists like this
The game persists like this
Cry your eyes
Seen this face a million times
Falling from my fantasy
Oh, Slipped inside
Your world to be
A victim of your sympathy
Mmm, you seem to know
How to push the fire
Oh, that burns the box we live in
Circle me with indecision
Cover with pristine precision
Add to, add to your shame
Falling
Falling out
Of love…with you babe
Falling
Falling out
Of love…with you!
Oh, come inside
Oh, open up your eyes
Baby I know the deal
Oh, are you for real
Mmm, Cry your eyes
I've seen this face a million times, a million times
Falling from my fantasy
Slip outside
Your world with me
A victim of your sympathy
Oh, you seem to know
How to push…you push
Oh, oh, yea
This has been a shame (?)
The game persists like this
The game persists like this
Falling
Falling out
Of love…with you babe
Falling
Falling out
Of love…with you babe
Falling
Falling out
Of love…with you!
Falling out
Falling out of love with you
Falling out of love
The song Cry by Pray for the Soul of Betty depicts the feeling of falling out of love with someone. The repetition of seeing the same face and falling from the same fantasy suggests a monotonous relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels trapped in the relationship, as he/she has become a victim of his/her partner's sympathy. The line, "How to kiss the fire that burns the box we live in," could mean that they have become too comfortable with each other and not challenging each other enough, leading to boredom and the need for change.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to make a decision about the relationship. The line, "Circle me with indecision, cover with pristine precision," could indicate that while the singer is unsure about the future, they still maintain a facade of perfection. However, the chorus reveals that they have fallen out of love with their partner, suggesting that they have decided to end the relationship despite their indecision.
In the end, the song is a melancholic reflection on the end of a relationship that has lost its magic. The singer is struggling with the decision to leave, but ultimately decides to move on.
