don't cry
The Black Ghosts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The rain on your face says it all
Don't cry dear it ain't worth it
Together we'll fall
Its true I won't believe its not
I feel it from my nose to my toes
I've got no time to figure out why
Would you like to know what I am thinking?
Don't cry dear it ain't worth it
The rain on your face says it all
Don't cry dear it ain't worth it
Together we'll fall
And I would like to read your time
Highlight all the best bits
And you could sleep relentlessly
The power of the blind
You see what others can't see
At least that's what you tell me
What other reason could there be
For giving me your heart
Don't cry dear it ain't worth it
The rain on your face says it all
Don't cry dear it ain't worth it
Together we'll fall
Don't cry dear it ain't worth it
The rain on your face says it all
Don't cry dear it ain't worth it
Together we'll fall
Together we'll fall
Together we'll fall
Until it comes again
Until it comes again
It used to be it was all I want, my only care
Nothing else had a single part to play in my head
But now times led my mind astray, something was changed along the way
And no amount of tears can bring it back round til it comes again
So maybe we should pretend we're who we want to be
And forget who we really are and where we really be
Cause I've no time to start again but I won't to a bitter end
Can we keep it down til its back round til it comes
Again
Until it comes again, until it comes again
One more time to take the test to make it real
Or one more nail in this relationship make it
Impossible to heal
On the good ship hope we sail but the stars above say
The wind will fail
Can we keep afloat until its back round until it comes again
Until it comes again, until it comes again
Until it comes again, until it comes again
The Black Ghosts' song "Don't Cry" is a melancholic track about the feeling of sorrow and loss. The lyrics are addressed to someone who is crying, telling them that whatever is making them cry is not worth the tears. The rain on their face says it all, indicating that the emotions are overwhelming and hard to contain. The song offers comfort, highlighting the idea of falling together instead of alone. The lyrics raise the question of why the person is giving their heart when it is so vulnerable to being broken. The chorus repeats the refrain that crying is not worth it and that together they will fall.
The second verse of the song is introspective, reflecting on the past and how things have changed. The singer laments that no amount of tears can turn back time, and they must wait until it comes again, indicating that perhaps things may change in the future. The lyrics suggest the idea of pretending to be someone else to escape the pain momentarily but ultimately failing. The final verse seems to be about holding onto hope even when things seem bleak, sailing on the good ship hope, hoping that the wind will not fail.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't cry dear it ain't worth it
Your tears won't solve anything, don't waste them
The rain on your face says it all
Your emotions are visible, even if you're trying to hide them
Together we'll fall
We're in this together, whatever happens
Its true I won't believe its not
I know what I feel, even if it seems impossible
I feel it from my nose to my toes
I experience this emotion completely
I've got no time to figure out why
I don't have the luxury of understanding my feelings
Before I say I do
Before I commit myself to this situation
Would you like to know what I am thinking?
Do you want to understand me better?
And I would like to read your time
I want to know your story
Highlight all the best bits
Show me the good parts of your life
And you could sleep relentlessly
You could rest easy, without worry
The power of the blind
The ability to ignore or overlook certain things
You see what others can't see
You have a unique perspective
At least that's what you tell me
Or that's what you want me to believe
What other reason could there be
Why else would you trust me with your heart?
For giving me your heart
For entrusting me with your emotions
Until it comes again
Until this feeling returns
It used to be it was all I want, my only care
There was a time when this was my only desire and concern
Nothing else had a single part to play in my head
I was obsessed with this, nothing else mattered
But now times led my mind astray, something was changed along the way
But now my priorities have shifted, something has changed in me
And no amount of tears can bring it back round til it comes again
Crying won't solve anything, the feeling will only return on its own
So maybe we should pretend we're who we want to be
Perhaps we should fake it until we make it
And forget who we really are and where we really be
And ignore our true selves and current situation
Cause I've no time to start again but I won't to a bitter end
I can't start over, but I won't give up either
Can we keep it down til its back round til it comes again
Can we stay quiet until the feeling returns?
One more time to take the test to make it real
One more chance to prove our worth and make it genuine
Or one more nail in this relationship make it impossible to heal
Or one more problem that will break our bond beyond repair
On the good ship hope we sail but the stars above say the wind will fail
We have hope, but the universe seems to be against us
Can we keep afloat until its back round until it comes again
Can we hold on until the feeling returns once more?
Until it comes again
Until this feeling returns

this band is just too cool for words. they have all types of music on their album. and its a shame that people only know them for their song in twilight. I really do wish they were really popular and that they had another album out, that would be really awesome. :)
