Sometimes I Cry
Rockett Dan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cry because I'm on my own
All the tears I cry are bitter and warm
They flow with life, and take no form
Ah the world moves fast
and it would rather pass you on by
than to stop and see what makes you cry
It's painful, so sad, sometimes I cry
But no one really cares
To ask why, why, why
Well I cry because my heart is torn
I find it hard to carry on
And if I had an ear to confide in
I would cry amongst my treasured friends
A-but who do you know that stops that long
to help another carry on
Ah the world moves fast
and it would rather pass you on by
than to stop and see what makes you cry
It's painful, so sad, sometimes I cry
And no one really cares
To ask why, why, why
In the opening lyrics of Rockett Dan's song "Sometimes I Cry," the singer shares his emotional state of mind when he is alone. The tears that he sheds when in solitude are described to be both bitter and warm, amplifying the complexity of his emotions. The fluidity of the tears is emphasized through the line, "They flow with life, and take no form." This quote suggests that the tears are organic and cannot be controlled, which can be indicative of someone who feels overwhelmed by their emotions.
Rockett Dan then moves on to describe the fast-paced and uncaring nature of the world around him. He questions why people do not stop to lend a helping hand when someone is down or experiencing pain. It appears that the singer feels isolated and helpless in a world that does not seem to care. As the song progresses, we learn that the singer's heart is torn, and carrying on with life has become a challenging task. If only he had someone he could confide in, he would seek solace amongst his friends.
But ultimately, no one seems to want to find out why he cries, and this highlights the lack of empathy that is prevalent in society. The final lyrics of the song point to the sad reality that sometimes, people cry because they feel out of touch and lonely in a world that does not seem to care.

Sometimes when I'm alone
Occasionally, when I am by myself
I cry because I'm on my own
I shed tears because I am lonely
All the tears I cry are bitter and warm
Each drop of tear that spills is both painful and comforting
They flow with life, and take no form
The tears flow naturally without any specific pattern
Ah the world moves fast
The environment changes quickly
and it would rather pass you on by
Society prefers to ignore individuals' sorrow or problems
than to stop and see what makes you cry
People choose not to acknowledge the factors causing your sadness
It's painful, so sad, sometimes I cry
The distress is unbearable and brings tears to my eyes
But no one really cares
No one pays attention
To ask why, why, why
Nobody inquires about the reason behind the tears
Well I cry because my heart is torn
I am weeping because my emotions are shattered
I find it hard to carry on
It is challenging for me to move forward
And if I had an ear to confide in
If I had someone to share my worries with
I would cry amongst my treasured friends
I would break down in front of my dearest companions
A-but who do you know that stops that long
But who do you know that pauses for long enough
to help another carry on
to assist someone in getting over their sadness and moving ahead
It's painful, so sad, sometimes I cry
The agony is overwhelming, and I can't help but cry
And no one really cares
No one is concerned
To ask why, why, why
No one puts in the effort to inquire about the reason behind the tears
