Made U Cry

World Brain's 'Made U Cry' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the haunting memories that linger long after a relationship has ended. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that was both intoxicating and elusive, with the narrator unable to forget the smile of their former lover. The imagery of 'your lips in black and white' suggests a nostalgic longing, as if the memories are frozen in time, suspended in the narrator's mind. This sense of longing is compounded by the lover's absence, as they are 'always hard to find' and 'offline,' creating a sense of disconnection and unfulfilled desire.

The recurring mention of 'Satan' throughout the song adds a layer of complexity and metaphorical depth. Satan is depicted as an omnipresent observer, watching over the lover and the narrator's relationship. This could symbolize the darker, more destructive aspects of their love, or perhaps the internal demons that the narrator grapples with. The lines 'Satan watches you, my handsome messiah' and 'Satan washes all, all outta my mind' suggest a struggle between reverence and torment, as the narrator tries to reconcile their feelings of love and pain.

The song also touches on themes of isolation and resignation. The narrator describes feeling 'so tired' and sighing alone, indicating a sense of emotional exhaustion. Despite this, there is a recognition that life goes on, as the narrator asserts that they are 'any less alive.' The final verses introduce a sense of fatalism, with the narrator acknowledging that 'it's all a game' and 'only Satan's dream.' Yet, there is a glimmer of hope in the idea of 'someone to carry me' and the shared fantasy, suggesting that even in the depths of heartbreak, there is a desire for connection and understanding.
