Cry Little Sister
Seasons After Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thou shall not cry!

Last fire will rise, behind those eyes
Black house will rock, blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear, that voice so clear
Through broken walls, that scream I hear

Cry little sister (thou shall not fall)
Come, come to your brother (thou shall not die)
Unchain me sister (thou shall not fear)
Love is with you brother (thou shall not kill)

Blue masquerade, strangers look up
When will they learn, this loneliness
Temptation heat, beats like a drum
Deep in your veins, I will not lie

Cry little sister (thou shall not fall)
Come, come to your brother (thou shall not die)
Unchain me sister (thou shall not fear)
Love is with you brother (thou shall not kill)

(Last fire, come to me
Cry, little sister, cry for me)

My Shangri-la
I cant forget
Why you were mine
I need you now

Cry little sister (thou shall not fall)
Come, come to your brother (thou shall not die)




Unchain me sister (thou shall not fear)
Love is with you brother (thou shall not kill)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for Seasons After's song "Cry Little Sister" are based on the theme and narrative of the 1987 American horror movie "The Lost Boys." The first line, "Thou shall not cry," sounds like a reference to the First Commandment, where it is prohibited to worship other gods beside God. In the song, it could mean having the strength not to succumb to sadness or to be strong in confronting the unknown. The phrase 'Last fire will rise, behind those eyes' is vividly metaphoric of the image of demons, a recurring symbolism that the film portrays. The black house that rocks and blinds boys that do not lie is also an essential element of the film, especially when the youngest vampire is blinded when his eyes could not adjust to the sunlight.


The "deep in your veins, I will not lie" line displays a sense of possession by another entity, such as a demon or a vampire, which are prominent in the film. The lines "Cry little sister" and "Come, come to your brother" can be interpreted metaphorically as a cry for help and assurance from a trusted perspective of a brotherly figure. The song's chorus conveys comfort, protection, and reassurance that love is with you, and you will not kill. The lyrics have a phrasing and tone that describes the ambiguity of the movie's narrative, giving it a haunting presence in the song.

Last fire will rise
Behind those eyes
Black house will rock
Blind boys don't lie

Immortal fear
That voice so clear
Through broken walls
That scream I hear

Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)

Blue masquerade
Strangers look on
When will they learn
This loneliness?

Temptation heat
Beats like a drum
Deep in your veins
I will not lie

Little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)

My Shangri-Las
I can't forget
Why you were mine
I need you now!

Cry, little sister
