Cry
Smokestack Lyrics

The song Cry by Smokestack is a melancholic contemplation of the artist's emotional state – a state of mind that is overwhelmed with sadness and frustration. The lyrics capture a mood that is heavy with the weight of pain that has no real form, but continues to linger inside the singer. The lines "Feel like cryin' today, I feel like cryin' today, no one could stop me now, just came out, yeah, it came out, nothing to say" really set the tone for the entire song. The singer is unable to communicate what's bothering them and the only thing left to do is to let the tears flow.

The chorus reinforces this feeling with lines that express the desire to give in and let the sadness swallow them. The singer wants someone to help them clear their head and let them lay their body down, so they can cry it out. This need for an emotional release is compounded by the lines "This old heart's been through the mill, it's so damn hard for me to feel, when I lay down, yeah, beside you, I feel something inside." It's clear that the singer's emotional state is so fragile that even being close to a significant other is a trigger for them.

The song ends with the line "Feel like cryin' today," which is a powerful statement of how the singer's sadness remains unresolved. The song is a poignant reminder that sometimes it's okay to cry, to let that sadness out, to acknowledge that life can be tough, and it's possible to overcome it.
