Cry in the Dark feat. R Reed

by Straahl

/

about

Cry in the Dark tells of a journey into the intimacy of the soul, outlining the moment in which an individual detaches himself from the world to undertake a profound and evocative inner journey, an escape from a sense of loneliness imposed by society.
This song embodies loneliness, anger, and turmoil, exploring and revealing a wide range of emotions and mental states of the protagonist. Sensations of suffering, a gradual draining of energy, and profound disappointment emerge.
At the same time, a liberating anger manifests itself, an outburst full of determination, character, and a charismatic will that guides the character. Therefore, the protagonist is ready to embark on his journey, aware of the challenges that await him.

The energy of R Reed's voice blends with the power of the synthesizers in a harmonious intertwining, maintaining a perfect balance without ever overwhelming each other. This synergy generates a compelling progression, eliciting a powerful mix of determination and anger, which fuels the impulse for revenge.

lyrics

Anger as cold as ice
You can buy happiness know the price
Cry in the dark behold the lights
Stuck in your feelings the quick sand is building
Almost to the ceiling I know the heights
The highs and the lows you show delight
Emotions flow over twice you flooded with it
Then transfer it, don't know the difference
So please watch what you do to me
Find yourself before you start losing me
If you pulling away then that's news to me
It's like tug of war with my heart
In side is ripping apart
Outside is frozen like art
Thought you figured me out like math
But I'm not numbers and charts
We've been out of control like an airplane
In a tailspin
So you Free falling in a whirlwind while you more concerned with what the world did
But I'm deeper than that like an iceberg
Just looking for lover in my search
Heart on my sleeve in a nice shirt
But still I'm a sucker for nice words.
And you give it to me like this flick of the wrist
You dig holes deep grounded in bliss.
Feels like you can not resist
The shovel is worn to the shaft you can just bury me then go to sleep
Enjoyment in crushing
Discussing Disgust is disgusting
You never bluffing
You take all my energy then leave me with nothing
Leaving me hollow out like an empty chest
We just falling out that's a gloomy sight
Your anxiety like an empty breath
You can't catch it cause there's nothing left
But I know that you needing to vent
I am an empath know what you meant
Battery drained 100 percent
That panic and stress it's settling in
So tell it again this time straight to the end
Don't side track and don't add on
I download it to my hard drive my servers fast
It's all certified
I know you play happy but hurt inside
Teen angst so it's no surprise
You you visualize and internalize
Just to understand it's commercialized
