about

I wrote this the night of the final "break-up conversation". It's self explanatory at surface level, but here's the background:

I wrote "Cry For Me" about 9 months into my ex-partner and my relationship. It was a Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood themed song, but she correctly deduced that I was still channeling the idea of missing my previous ex into the song. I didn't fully unpack that reality until way later.

At this breakup, it seemed fitting to write a sequel, just as it seemed fitting to tie some subtle FMA themes into the bars.

Look up "Equivalent Exchange" with reference to the entire FMA plot line, when you have some time. This entire song hinges on that bar.

lyrics

You were there when I decided
What will I do when I can’t find you
To grow together. Can we try to
Once more

And who’s gonna cry for me

Who’s gonna cry for me

Who’s gonna cry for me
When I can’t cry for myself

Who’s gonna cry for me

When I’m bad at crying for myself
You think that my future’s looking bright. Said you can tell
Won’t you go with me
Hard journey, but you said that you know it. See

I been chasing this thing for long long minute
Keep coming back to you with my arms all dented
You’re so brilliant baby and your charm’s authentic
Wanna stay right here but you discern harm in it

I know you’ve got a craft that you
Working
Say you’re
Certain
I’ve been
Hurting
Mind is turning
Watch you
Burning

Up the road as you run away
Deep down I know it too. I don’t need to stay

Here with you

We both have things that we need to do

I just hate that I might be losing you

And you want to be lost to me
Girl, why’re you choosing, too?

You were there when I decided
What will I do when I can’t find you
To grow together. Can we try to
Once more

And who’s gonna cry for me

Who’s gonna cry for me

Who’s gonna cry for me
When I can’t cry for myself

Who’s gonna cry for me

When I’m bad at crying for myself
You think that my future’s looking bright. Said you can tell
You don’t want it though
We could build together but I’ve gotta go

How many people do I have to leave behind
to go and get what’s mine yeah
That’s not to say the problem isn’t mine, yeah
Been obsessive I don’t spend enough time with
Those who love me. And you swear our love is dying

Won’t you
Drop it
Baby
I been
Taking
All this
Patient
Time to
Make this
Partnership more than just words
Now we here and you don’t wanna work
Is it that hard to deal with me

Walked through so much pain
Thought we had a chance for an equivalent exchange
Guess we can’t go after us and our bond remain same

Baby You decided
What will I do when I can’t find you
To grow together. Can’t we try to
Once more

And who’s gonna cry for me

Who’s gonna cry for me

Who’s gonna cry for me
When I can’t cry for myself

Who’s gonna cry for me

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions. I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over. Take a bow, Mega Ran. platinumazure
