Cry
Tori Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dare anyone to change me
Cuz they'll go down in flames
And I'll just stay the same
Either way
Can't put shame on my shoulders
Won't carry that boulder
I won't falter
It's okay to cry
Baby so do I
You don't have to lie
Cuz real people cry
Real people cry
So cry
Cry
Like holy water
It's okay to go under
You'll come up again
Stronger, my friend
Can't fight it
Divine design decided
Once you find it
Never gonna hide it
When we're blurry eyed
We're not blurring lines
It's okay to cry
Baby so do I
You don't have to fight
Cuz real people cry
Real people cry
So cry
Cry
Cry
Cry
Ooo
Cry, cry baby
Never gonna shame me
They don't have to save me from myself
I'm making bank on emotional wealth
Cry, cry baby
Never gonna tame me
In joy or grief, I find my relief
Tearing down the monarchy
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
Real people cry
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
You know that I'm right
Don't put up a fight
Real people Cry
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
Let yourself free
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
It's what the world needs
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
Be a cry baby like me
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
Ooo yeah
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
let yourself feel
So that you know that you're real
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
Ooo ooo
Real people cry
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
Real people break
And they understand
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
That to be real you must feel
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
And be
A cry baby like me
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
Cry baby
Cry baby
Cry baby like me
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
(Real people cry, yes they do
Real people cry)
The lyrics of Tori's song Cry are a message of hope and encouragement for those who feel overwhelmed by life's challenges. The song speaks of struggles that shatter one's dreams, hopes that have been cruelly crushed, and earthly fears that threaten to consume one's faith. However, the lyrics advise listeners to not let their faith disappear in the face of adversity, but to instead praise the Lord, who can work through those who exalt His name. According to the song, when one praises and worships the Lord, they unlock the power to overcome adversity, and no chain, no matter how binding it may seem, can hold them down.
The lyrics of the song are based on a passage from the Bible found in Psalm 22:3, which says, "But you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel." The message of the song is that God inhabits the praises of His people, and when they worship and give Him thanks, His power is manifested in their lives. Despite Satan's efforts to bring people down, the song reminds believers that they are children of the King and have already won the battle through Jesus Christ's victory.
In summary, the message of the song is that those facing difficult situations should not give up on their faith, but should instead turn to the Lord in worship and praise. Through this, they will find the strength to overcome any obstacle that comes their way.
Line by Line Meaning
When you're up against a struggle that shatters all your dreams
When you encounter a difficulty that completely destroys your hopes and aspirations
And your hopes have been cruelly crushed by Satan's manifested schemes
And evil's intended plans have left you with no hope left
And you feel the urge within you to submit to earthly fears
And you feel tempted to give in to fear and anxiety
Don't let the faith you're standing in seem to disappear
Hold onto your faith and don't let it slip away
Praise the Lord, He can work through those who praise Him
Give thanks to God, as He has the power to work through those who worship Him
Praise the Lord, for our God inhabits praise
Acknowledge the Lord, for He lives within the praises of His people
Praise the Lord, for the chains that seems to bind you
Offer praise to God for the chains that seem to limit and restrict you
Serve only to remind you that they drop powerless behind you
These chains should remind you that they have no power over you
Now Satan is a liar and he wants to make us think
Satan is deceitful and wants to convince us of falsehood
That we are paupers when he knows himself we're children of the King
Satan wants us to believe that we are poor and insignificant, when in reality we are children of God
So lift up the mighty shield of faith for the battle must be won
Hold onto your faith, for it is a powerful weapon in the fight that must be won
We know that Jesus Christ has risen so the work's already done
We have assurance that Jesus overcame death, so the victory is already won
Praise Him, praise Him
Continuously worship and give thanks to the Lord
When you praise Him
When you offer up your praises to God
The Lord
Our God and Savior

I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended so soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
The moment that I saw you cry
It was late in September
And I've seen you before (and you were)
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything
All right...
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
In places no one will find
In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
It was there that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry

Staring up at a dark grey sky

In places no one will find
All your feelings so deep inside

And I've seen you before
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark grey sky

This song is very different. I was like 3 when this song came out. But everytime I listen to this it's like I'm going back to the past.
