So You Cry

about

This song is the proof of how best music really is made in worst times. I'm not saying this is my best track. I love all my songs but this one is by far one of the most purely sincere ones i wrote. It's such a personal song i considered not sharing it. But then i remembered how i wrote this song. I was overwhelmed with feeling of despair, disgust and hate. At that moment though when i closed myself in my room thinking of how we are going through horrible things in my country. I've never felt more of a need to take my guitar in my hands. Usually first 10 or so minutes i try to find a stable good melody to go with what i have in my mind. However with this one, music and lyrics both came out so naturally that i was shocked with myself and while singing the chorus i just couldn't hold myself longer. After i pulled myself together i finished writing lyrics down. "So You Cry" and "Heart of Mine" are the 2 songs that i finished in a span of minutes. More importantly i felt like a true artist because making music actually calmed me down and for both of them i felt the actual need to make music. One opening the album, other one closing it. I wouldn't have it any other way.

lyrics

Come now and break all these walls
To tell me what is going on
You are dying underneath the sky
To calm me down, to calm me down
You tell me
Journeys of your soul
But hold the stories you have tight
Even they're not enough
They will worth

What's been right in front of our eyes
Are now fixed into our minds
Tell me how would we bring our lives up
Is that in your dreams that you hide?
You hide

So today
You see
Some are going under the shore
You grow in your hate
But it will make you cautious, they say

So you pray
You fake as everybody expects
And you try your own best
Then you cry

You cry and cry
For separated loves
And you wait and wait for the right time
So they can chew up all their lies
You just wish to see him once more again

So we will seek
We will feel
Don't you see
We grow stronger by time
We grow stronger by time
Time

So you say all in your chest
And you take what they took from you
And you pray for the days you get to see
Then you cry
For the mess that they left behind
