No Time to Cry
The Sisters Of Mercy (A Slight Case Of Overbombing - Greatest Hits Volume One) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get sometimes
A feeling
Sometimes
And I get frightened
Just like you
I get frightened too
But it's...
[Chorus:]
(no no no) No time for heartache
(no no no) No time to run and hide
(no no no) No time for breaking down
(no no no) No time to cry
Sometimes in the world as is you've
Got to shake the hand that feeds you
It's just like Adam says
It's not so hard to understand
It's just like always coming down on
Just like Jesus never came and
What did you expect to find
It's just like always here again it's...
[Chorus:]
Everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still can't sleep
And the voices pass with time
And I keep
No time for tears
No time to run and hide
I keep no time to cry
No time for tears
No time to run and hide
No time to be afraid of fear
I keep no time to cry
[Chorus:]
The lyrics of The Sisters of Mercy's song "No Time to Cry" explore the emotions of fear, frustration, and the struggle to stay strong in the face of adversity. The lines "It's just a feeling I get sometimes, And I get frightened just like you, I get frightened too" show the vulnerability that comes with being human and how everyone experiences fear at some point in their lives. However, the chorus brings a sense of urgency and determination with lines like "No time to run and hide, No time for breaking down, No time to cry". This sense of urgency suggests that there is no time to let fear take over, that it is important to stay strong and keep going.
The verses have a slightly nihilistic edge to them, with lines like "It's just like Jesus never came, And what did you expect to find". These lyrics suggest a loss of faith and disillusionment with the world. However, even in the face of this disillusionment, the song's refrain emphasizes the importance of being strong and persevering through difficult times.
Line by Line Meaning
It's just a feeling
I experience a certain emotion
I get sometimes
It occurs at random intervals
A feeling
An emotion that comes over me
Sometimes
Occasionally
And I get frightened
And the emotion sometimes makes me scared
Just like you
Just as it might scare anyone else
I get frightened too
I also experience fear
But it's...
But there's more to it than that
(no no no) No time for heartache
I don't have time to be upset about this
(no no no) No time to run and hide
I can't avoid it or try to escape
(no no no) No time for breaking down
I can't let my emotions overwhelm me
(no no no) No time to cry
I don't have the luxury of indulging in tears
Sometimes in the world as is you've
In the current state of the world
Got to shake the hand that feeds you
You have to accept help from those in power
It's just like Adam says
This is similar to what Adam experienced
It's not so hard to understand
It's a simple concept
It's just like always coming down on
This is a recurring situation
Just like Jesus never came and
It's like the second coming never happened
What did you expect to find
What were you hoping for
It's just like always here again it's...
It's a cycle that keeps repeating
Everything will be alright
Things will work out in the end
Everything will turn out fine
Everything will be okay
Some nights I still can't sleep
But I still struggle with this emotion
And the voices pass with time
And eventually the thoughts and doubts fade
And I keep
And I continue to hold on
No time for tears
I can't let myself cry
No time to run and hide
I can't avoid this
No time to be afraid of fear
I can't let the fear control me
I keep no time to cry
I won't let myself be consumed by sadness or grief

This was my dads favorite album. He died in a house fire in 2010, cleaning his stuff in a garage I found his original cassette of this album, which had been in a car he had that caught fire in the early 1990s. The tragic irony. He used to listen to this Band all the time. Specifically this album.

Sisters of Mercy are one of the best bands of all time for me. Incredible and emotional melodies in combination with pure energy.
