Crying Out
TOK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coffee keeps me warm
Look at me in the mirror. As the tears roll down
Laughing at myself
Just an empty heart. What else is in the life?
What's gone wrong? I am not sure in my life
I don't know what I can see more. Nobody knows
Crying out my life.
Crying out like a crazy
I don't know what I can see more. Nobody knows
Still I stand here alone. Always in the dark
Calm all around me
Nobody beside me. Like a blast of wind
All are passing by me
Just an empty heart. It makes me lose my mind
What's gone wrong? I am not sure in my life
Crying out my life. Crying out like a crazy
I don't know what I can see more. Nobody knows
Crying out my life. Crying out like a crazy
The lyrics to the song "Crying Out" by Tok depict a sense of loneliness and borderline desperation. The first verse starts with the singer waking up alone, with sunlight in their eyes while coffee keeps them warm. They look at themselves in the mirror with tears rolling down their face but can't help but laugh at themselves, perhaps due to feeling foolish for their sadness. The singer's heart feels empty and they wonder what else there is to life, questioning where they went wrong and feeling unsure about their path.
As the chorus comes in, the singer cries out their pain like a crazy person. They don't know what they can see anymore, and nobody knows the extent of their pain or how to help them. The second verse describes the singer standing alone in the dark, surrounded by calmness but feeling like they're being blasted by the wind. Again, their empty heart makes them feel like they're losing their mind and questioning what went wrong in their life.
Overall, the song conveys a deep sense of loneliness and despair. The singer feels lost and unsure about the direction of their life, crying out their pain with no one to hear them. While the lyrics are somber and sad, the chorus's repetition and the melody's upbeat tempo somewhat soften the overall effect, making it simultaneously mournful yet empowering.
