tears
The Cruxshadous Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reaching out in deadened night,
emptiness by candlelight,
Memory a haunted sea,
souring in sudden rage,
The Damage plagued upon my love,
driven by this selfish urge,
to separate yourself from me,
But not the way you planned,
The gambit flow of shifting thought,
shall ride a kiss upon my cross,
and with each moment of despair,
lay to heart a lovely tear.
Within each bulb the salty sea,
swims an ocean silently,
swims the forest of my dreams,
swims the essence of my being (...I call me)
Come ringing back now,
(can't explain),
The measures swept away in pain,
hatred will I escape your grasp,
buried feelings let me pass.
I cannot kill this final flame,
the fire that once consumed my heart,
for hope must have some kind of fuel,
and chance must keep this fire.
[Spoken] reduced to ashes, We run colder on the outside. A Spartan hope that dwindles near the source of this contempt. What has my hopeful certainty for the future returned upon my desperation and difficult memory, besides wasted moments, whose questions are not resolved? Simple things went un-addressed until such time as they could only pass away. Losing you shall (forever mark my breast. Injury knows no justice.)
Swimming out with tears in my eyes
looking for the shore,




I hope that this is the last time...
I hope that this is the last time...

Overall Meaning

The Cruxshadows' song Tears is a poignant expression of loss and heartbreak, capturing the essence of a painful breakup, a relationship unravelled by selfish desires and misunderstandings. The imagery in the song echoes the feelings of emptiness and despair, the haunting memories of what was lost, and the struggle to come to terms with it.


The song starts with the singer reaching out into the darkness of the night, seeking solace in the flame of a candle but finding only emptiness. The memory of the lost love is like a haunted sea, raging suddenly and consuming everything in its path. The damage done to the love by selfish desires is the crux of the pain felt by the singer.


The second verse speaks of the shifting thoughts, of the gambits played, and the way things happen, not as they were planned. The singer finds solace in tears, the lovely tears that remind them of what was once there, the memories that cling to the heart.


The third verse has a spoken word interlude that speaks of the futility of hope, of how it is reduced to ashes, of how the fire once consumed their heart but still flickers dimly. The singer swims out with tears in their eyes, hoping that this is the last time they have to do so.


Tears is a powerful song, and The Cruxshadows have infused it with emotion and imagery that resonates long after the song has ended.

God gave His Son so we can live through Him and have everlasting life. God loves you! Believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be saved!
This is the Gospel of your salvation

1 Corinthians 15: 1-4  
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

You can give your life to God right now. Repent for your sins, trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life. Have faith and say this prayer.
"Jesus Lord I know you shed your blood and died for my sins. I know you were buried, and you rose again on the third day. Please forgive me for my sins. I give my life to you Lord. Thank you Jesus for saving me. Amen."

Ooh
Na-na, yeah
I saw you dancing in a crowded room (uh)
You look so happy when I'm not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye
I don't know why I run away
I make you cry when I run away
You could've asked me why I broke your heart
You could've told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn't there
And just pretended like you didn't care
I don't know why I run away
I make you cry when I run away
Take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
Save your tears for another day
Save your tears for another day (so)
I made you think that I would always stay
I said some things that I should never say
Yeah, I broke your heart like someone did to mine
And now you won't love me for a second time
I don't know why I run away, oh, girl
Said, I make you cry when I run away
Girl, take me back 'cause I wanna stay
Save your tears for another
I realize that I'm much too late
And you deserve someone better
Save your tears for another day (oh yeah)
Save your tears for another day (yeah)
I don't know why I run away
I'll make you cry when I run away
Save your tears for another day
Ooh, girl, I said (ah)
Save your tears for another day (ah)
Save your tears for another day (ah)
Save your tears for another day (ah)

He's telling such a sad story. In Afterhours he had his face demolished. He comes back like, look at me girl, I fixed myself up, take me back. But its a tragedy, cause no matter how much he fixes his face, his image, he'll still be the same villain he's always been, still causing trouble. The same villain who broke her heart.
