Cry
Suzanina Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're my sick friend
And you're always around
I know wherever I go
You'll be found

I've been happy before
I've been lonely before
But since you know me

I'm not anymore

Try so hard to shake you
Cos you're sticking to my skin
And in my mind I break you
But you've locked the door within

It's been enough now
The game is up now
It's getting rough now
You gotta stop now
Living in limbo is leaving me dry
Do you find pleasure in watching me cry?

You've got a secret
You don't want me to see
But deep inside
You can't breathe without me

You keep taking in
My sweet energy
You keep inhaling
The life out of me

Try so hard to shake you
But you're sticking to my skin
And in my mind I break you
But you've locked the door within

It's been enough now
The game is up now
It's getting rough now
You gotta stop now

Living in limbo is leaving me dry
Do you find pleasure in watching me cry?

Overall Meaning

In Suzanina's song "Cry," the lyrics portray a toxic relationship between two individuals, one of whom is referred to as the singer's "sick friend." The singer expresses their awareness that their friend will always be around, wherever they may go. Moreover, the singer states that since their friend entered their life, they haven't been as happy or lonely as they once have been. The singer acknowledges that their friend is like an addiction, that is hard to shake off, and that the more they try, the deeper stuck they feel. The friend is depicted as someone who has a secret that they don't want the singer to see, yet they can't breathe without the singer. The friend tends to take in the unique vitality of the singer and seems to steal away the life out of them.

In the second verse, the singer tries to distance themselves from the friendship that they believe to be a hindrance to their well-being. They are tired of being in limbo and want to move on from the toxic relationship. The singer asks their friend whether they take pleasure in watching them cry. The last two lines of both verses are similar, which shows that the singer is caught up in a pattern of behavior that is difficult to escape.
