Cry Cry

Oceana's song 'Cry Cry' tells a poignant story of innocence lost and the struggle to maintain hope in the face of adversity. The lyrics paint a picture of a young girl, once full of life and joy, engaging in the simple pleasures of childhood with her best friend. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this girl's life takes a darker turn as she grows up. The repeated phrase 'Deep inside, you cry cry cry' suggests an internal battle where the girl is trying to keep her spirit alive despite the challenges she faces.

The narrative shifts to a more troubling scenario when the girl, now a bit older, falls in love with an older man who leads her down a path she initially resists. The song implies that she is coerced into doing things that go against her better judgment, leading to a loss of innocence and faith. The lyrics 'She left everything behind, Couldn't find a place, Running through the night, Losing all her faith' evoke a sense of desperation and loss. Yet, the chorus 'Don't let your hopes, die die die' serves as a powerful reminder to hold onto hope, even when it feels like all is lost.

The song's emotional depth is underscored by the contrast between the upbeat melody and the somber themes within the lyrics. Oceana uses this juxtaposition to highlight the internal conflict of the girl, who on the outside may appear resilient, but is struggling deeply within. 'Cry Cry' is a call to recognize the silent battles many face and a message of resilience to those who feel like giving up.
