Cry

Alexx Calise's song 'Cry' delves deep into the emotional turmoil and profound sadness that can engulf a person. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has been disconnected from joy and light for an extended period. The opening lines, 'Well I guess it’s been a while / Since I’ve seen the sunshine / Since I have smiled,' set the tone for the entire song, highlighting a prolonged state of melancholy. The artist, known for her raw and emotive style, uses these lines to express a sense of emptiness and loss that words can hardly capture.

The recurring theme of wanting to do nothing but cry underscores the depth of the protagonist's despair. This is not just a fleeting sadness but a profound, all-encompassing grief. The lines 'I’m going through the motions / But I don’t feel like trying' suggest a state of emotional numbness, where the individual is merely existing rather than truly living. The metaphor of a growing hole in the heart further emphasizes the increasing intensity of this emotional void.

As the song progresses, the imagery becomes even more poignant. The lines 'I’m so low / I’m almost to the bottom / And oh, nowhere to go / Even my soul has left my body' convey a sense of utter hopelessness and disconnection from oneself. This powerful depiction of despair is a testament to Calise's ability to translate complex emotions into relatable and impactful lyrics. The song 'Cry' serves as a cathartic outlet for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by their emotions, offering a sense of solidarity and understanding in the face of deep personal pain.
