Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
To stay awake you take a pill
You think you're moving
But you're standing still
You think you're cruising
But you slow down here
Maybe I could put you in a right direction
Only if you can decide
I believe you're beyond correction
Wouldn't be the first time I made you cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby all the time
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby all the time
This won't hurt, no, not a bit
You'd better take your medicine
'Cause you are sick
Your blood grows cold
You won't be told
You're the bad seed already sowed
Maybe I could put you in a right direction
Only if you can decide
Holding back to me looking for redemption
Wouldn't be the first time I heard you cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby all the time
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby all the time
Who do you think is to blame?
Everybody but you
You couldn't care less
About the things that you do
Sick of hearing you cry
Sick of hearing those lies
Tired of wiping the tears
From your eyes
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby all the time
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby all the time
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Roisin Murphyās Cry Baby is a song that describes a person who is going through a tough time and needs guidance. The message of the song is to encourage the person not to give up but to keep on moving forward through all the obstacles. The lyrics of the song begin with the singer trying to comfort the person who is crying. The singer feels concerned about the person and wants to support them in overcoming their challenges. The person is depicted as being in a state of motionlessness like they are stuck in their current situation, and this is symbolized by the singer's words "You think you're moving, but you're standing still."
The chorus of the song features the singer repeating "Oh me, oh my, don't cry baby, please don't cry. Oh me, oh my, don't cry baby all the time." This chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that there is a need to be strong and resilient. In the second verse, the singer suggests that the person who's feeling down should take their medication and seek help. By doing this, the singer is trying to help the person get back on their feet.
Overall, "Cry Baby" communicates a message of hope and support. It encourages people who are facing difficult times in their lives to keep going and not to give up. Sometimes, asking for help can be the first step towards healing and finding resolution to problems that seemed too big to overcome alone.

Equations in the video:
On the whiteboard there are, from top left to bottom right:
Einstein field equations with cosmological constant.
Schrodinger equation.
Part of the standard model Lagrangian.
Integral form of Gauss' Law.
Dirac Equation.
Some Lagrangian I can't read.
The equation they figure out is some kind of Ising model Hamiltonian, don't recognize it exactly (and some is blurred).

This came out a few weeks after my wife died. LCD Soundsystem was one of her favorite bands, and she was so excited they were coming back. This song will never not make me cry.
