Don t you cry for me lyrics


Oh, got my hands tied around my back
And time put a rope around my head
And hung from the rafters of my fear
Dark in the eyes

Tryna face the world, I can't bare to
My knees hit the ground and my hands start shaking
Old feelings from new faces
A rope on the floor and a poor man hanging

Please help me shut this dream down
Hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don't you cry for me

I've seen a notion run away
I'm torn from the truth that holds my soul
I'm down in the grave where I belong
Oh, what a ride

I dare to fight my devil
Wings to the sky on the run from trouble
With my own hands, no shovel
I dug in the ground, now I'm hanging above saying

Please help me shut this dream down

Hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don't you cry for me

Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
When the sun went down
Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
It set the sky on fire
Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
I saw an angel fly
Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
I never felt so high
Down by the grave that the law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
Please help me shut this dream down
Hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don't you cry for me

Songs, used to create messages, give singers the ability to speak about concerns that are relevant in the current everyday life. A powerful ways songwriters achieve this is by applying the use of imagery. Lyricists use this help readers of literary works to understand specific ideas that the writer is trying to convey. By using symbolism in songs, singers can discuss issues in ways that connect with the listener on a deeper level. Using this method in songwriting is crucial when discussing important subjects; influencing the public in a way that is not direct and more effective. In “ Don’t You Cry For Me,” songwriter Cobi uses repeated images of trees and individuals hanging as metaphors for his feelings towards facing injustice. It is through…show more content…
Cobi has created an overall central theme of injustice throughout the song-seeing injustice, the unease of acting against it, and finally doing something about it. The way Cobi has written the song puts great emphasis on how important it is to him. He wants listeners to take the matter of suicide seriously so he includes darker visions of people being hanged. Being a serious topic he avoids colloquialism and mainly uses metaphors to express the meaning. Witnessing how relevant injustice is, Cobi comments on how others react to it observing, “I’ve seen an ocean run away.” He notices how many people (ocean being a Synecdoche for people) have “run away” and do not help, which emphasizes the repeated lyric, “please help me chop this tree down,” indicating that the effort to help must be shared. Through this symbolism, Cobi is speaking to the listener and pleads for them to assist as well. This tree represents the injustice in the world that he wants to fight. By taking action against it, people can interpret the gravel being paved as a reference to a new beginning of hope. He uses mental images to reach people on a deeper level, which connects to people's imagination and inspires them.
The imagery in song lyrics is important when introducing a message; if one’s goal is to offer reflection to the listener. In “Don’t You Cry For Me”, Cobi achieves this through his mass use of metaphors, the extensive images of the tree and hanging are elements that are key in conveying his messages of fear, redemption, and injustice. This song directs listeners to stand up and not be afraid to fight for what they believe, in a way that can connect to them emotionally. The imagery in songs offers reflection into topics that are personal for each

When we first met I never cheated, girl, I never lied
Temptation, well I guess, was never really on my side
Now you are leaving and I wanna stop you so bad
Then I can gonna stake us
Girl we can't go on this way

You know I'd rather be with you, baby, baby
You know I'd rather have you stay
We can't make up and patch it up this time
So let me leave this on your mind

Baby, don't cry for me
Even if I beg and plead
Don't take me, and stay with me

Baby don't cry for me
Even if I promise one more time
Baby don't you believe me
Cause I know I'll never love you again, then

Now we are said and done
And I've been feeling so alone, yeah
Oh girl, I want you back
But I know you can't come
Back home, back home

Baby I know there'll never be another
Who can love me like you do, baby
But I can't love you back
And that's why I'm telling you, baby, baby

You know I'd rather be with you
You know I'd rather have you stay
We can't make up and patch it up this time
So let me leave this on your mind

Baby, don't cry for me
Even if I beg and plead
Don't take me and stay with me

Baby, don't cry for me
I don't wanna see your tears no more, baby
Even if I promise one more time
Don't you believe me
Cause I know I'll never love you again

I can't love, oh no baby, it's over
I don't know sometimes I want you to stay
And sometimes I want you to go, baby
So you might as well go, bye bye, baby
Ain't nothing you can say or do
To make me wanna stay with you, you baby

Baby, don't cry for me
Even if I beg and plead
Don't take me and stay with me

Baby, don't cry for me
Even if I promise one more time
Don't you believe me

Baby, don't cry for me
Even if I beg and plead
Don't take me and stay with me

Ain't nothing you can say or do
To make me want to stay with you
My darling, my darling, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, baby

Ain't nothing you can do about it
So don't you cry for me
Ain't nothing you can do about it

Ain't nothing you can do about it
So don't you cry for me
Ain't nothing you can do about it
Ain't nothing you can do about it
