Diamond Tears Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
This is just a producer tag, letting listeners know that the beat was made by Mr Darko.

[Chorus]
The chorus sets the tone for the song—cold and ruthless. The artist talks about eliminating his enemies and wonders why older people, who once guided him, are now broke. He reflects on how those who tried to teach him right from wrong only contributed to his emotional detachment, turning his heart to ice. It’s a mix of arrogance, frustration, and a sense of betrayal.

[Verse 1]
This verse dives deep into the artist’s past and the hard lessons he learned. He trusted his so-called “big bro,” who introduced him to the street game, but in reality, this person was weak and deceitful. The artist, young and naive, wanted to be part of a gang and prove himself. However, he soon realized that his mentor wasn’t even as experienced as he claimed—he had never even seen a full kilo of drügs.

One day, his “big bro” convinced him to rob some people, but when the time came, the guy chickened out and stayed home, afraid of the cops. The artist was left to carry out the job with an old, unreliable gun. Things went south, shots were fired, and chaos erupted. In the end, the so-called tough guy, who once acted like a boss, is now facing a long prison sentence, crying over his fate. The artist realizes he was manipulated and regrets ever following someone who turned out to be a fraud.

[Verse 2]
This verse shifts focus to overcoming struggles and reflecting on how far he has come. The artist compares himself to a boxer who needed a strong corner (support system) but didn’t have one. He recalls times when he couldn’t even afford a designer jacket, believing luxury was out of reach. But now, he shines like a diamond, proving everyone wrong.

He boasts about his success—touring, making money, and leaving his past behind. His DJ, once involved in crime, is now legit. Despite all the progress, the temptations of his old life still linger—he sees snow (winter), and it reminds him of drügs. He flexes his expensive taste, mixing high-end colognes and smoking cigarettes on stage like a rockstar. He no longer tolerates failures and dismisses fake people. He also takes a shot at clout chasers who act like they’re about that life but are actually just internet figures. No matter how much things change, he still feels like the same lone wolf, moving through the cold world.

[Chorus (Reprise)]
The chorus returns, reinforcing the song’s core themes—eliminating enemies, questioning why the older generation failed, and how betrayal and hardship have hardened his heart. It’s a declaration of strength, but also a reminder of the emotional numbness that comes with the lifestyle he once lived.
