The Last Tear
Unsun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something out of me flows...
Love so unrestrained flees.
Slowly becoming less
My tears turn into seas...

I tore down the wall,
Armed well my own heart
Banished grief and pain
And made fear depart...

I'm not scared of the places
Where my heart hurts the most.
I'm not scared of the moments
My mind full of ghosts.
I'm not scared of the words,
That cut like a knife.
I'm not scared of dreams,
When it's hard to survive the night.

I hide from the world, my blurry eyes.
I don't reach out for help, I never ask why.
Kind God refuses to hear my requests.
Uncertainty chills the heart in my chest.
Slowly becoming less
My tears turn into seas...

I'm not scared of the places
Where my heart hurts the most.

I'm not scared of the moments
My mind full of ghosts.
I'm not scared of the words,
That cut like a knife.
I'm not scared of dreams,
When it's hard to survive the night.

Something out of me flows...
Love so unrestrained flees.
Slowly becoming less
My tears turn into seas...
I tore down the wall,
Armed well my own heart
Banished grief and pain
And made fear depart...

I'm not scared of the places
Where my heart hurts the most.
I'm not scared of the moments
My mind full of ghosts.
I'm not scared of the words,
That cut like a knife.




I'm not scared of dreams,
When it's hard to survive the night.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Unsun's song "The Last Tear" depict the internal struggle of hiding one's pain and fear, while also acknowledging and accepting them. The opening lines describe a release of emotions that has become overwhelming, with tears turning into "seas." The singer then proclaims that they have "tore down the wall" and armed their heart, banishing grief, pain, and fear. However, they also admit to hiding from the world and not seeking help or answers, and feeling uncertainty in their heart.


Despite this, the singer asserts their bravery in facing the places where their heart hurts the most, the moments when their mind is full of ghosts, the words that cut like a knife, and the difficult dreams that come during sleepless nights. The repetition of this refrain reinforces the idea that the singer is not afraid of the pain and fear within themselves, and is willing to confront and overcome it.


Overall, the song embraces the idea of accepting and overcoming one's fears and pain, and finding strength within oneself to face life's struggles. The imagery of tears turning into seas and the recurring idea of fear and pain being banished suggest that there is hope for healing and growth beyond even the most overwhelming emotions.

Fantastic voice,great band,can't see why they are not so well known.

Ckryse S

Coz this ruthless and hopeless era...the best artist won't get much appreciated or be taken in attention but worse artist who just sang like they composed whole music in toilet will be recognised and appreciated.

Steven Richards

This woman is beautiful and so in her voice. How could you not be moved by this music?

Carlos A

El mejor disco de la historia,de UNSUN!!

Arya Nalfein

wow... Amazingly beautiful, crystaline voice echoing over and over inside the walls of my skull, hypnotizing, calming me, whispering the softest words of the world. "I'm not scared of tears".

ElleBeatrix4991

Ech niech hejterzy mówią co chcą, zakochałam się w Unsun! Aya ma piękny głos, śpiewa z sercem, z emocjami, szczególnie w tej piosence...

FRANCHISEEddie

The best song on their new cd...although the entire cd is well worth buying. UnSun is one of the best bands I have heard in a long time and they avoided the 2nd cd curse that plagues alot of bands

Rev. Robert 'Standing Eagle' Marshall

Most definitely a great group--wish I'd hear them more on American radio. The first I'd heard of them and other groups like them was here on YouTube.

Necrophage

Robert Rorick

suffering from PTSD this song express exactly how I feel
