No More Crying
The Slackers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There'll be no more crying
Say is there no motion
Inside your ocean
There is no reason
To cause this storm in your peaceful harbor now
There'll be no more crying
Say feelings may wile you
Don't let them find you
Don't look behind you
lest you be another lots wife turn to salt yeah
There'll be no more crying
There'll be no more crying
I said please dry your tear now
Springtime is here now
No need to fear now
Oh the winter's so cold and no sun
I said there'd be no more cryin'
I beg you please, I beg you please
I beg you please dry your tear now
There'll be no more crying
There'll be no more crying
The lyrics to The Slackers' song No More Crying convey a message of hope and encouragement to someone who may be going through a tough time. The repetition of the phrase "There'll be no more crying" serves as a mantra, reminding the listener to stay positive and not give up hope. The verses offer advice on how to handle difficult emotions, such as not looking back or dwelling on the past, and embracing the present, symbolized here by the arrival of springtime.
The metaphor of an ocean is used throughout the song, with the idea that emotions can be like waves, sometimes calm and sometimes stormy. The lines "Say is there no motion/Inside your ocean" suggest that sometimes it can feel like there is no progress or change within oneself, but the message is ultimately one of hope that one can weather the storm and come out stronger on the other side.
The song's upbeat ska sound adds to the overall positive message. The use of brass instruments, guitar, and drums create a lively and upbeat sound that matches the optimistic lyrics. Overall, No More Crying is a song about perseverance and focusing on the good in life, no matter what difficulties may come.
