DON’T CRY Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the scene for a Christmas night, but there’s a sense of confusion as the singer notices someone looking sad during a time meant for joy and celebration. The lyrics suggest that, despite it being Christmas, the sadness is still present, and the singer encourages the listener to enjoy the moment by popping some champagne and embracing the festive spirit.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, the singer repeatedly asks, “What day is it today?” as if unsure or overwhelmed by the emotions of the moment. This repetition highlights a sense of disconnection, and the constant refrain of “Don’t cry” suggests a desire to comfort those around him. Despite it being Christmas time, the singer observes the glittering Christmas tree and the golden lights, emphasizing the contrast between the outward celebration and the inner sadness. The chorus shows that, even in a joyful setting, it’s hard to escape feelings of melancholy.

[Outro]
In the outro, the singer reassures those he loves—family, friends, and a significant other—not to cry, encouraging them to find comfort in the season. He reflects on the struggles of the past year, mentioning how he’s worked hard and sacrificed a lot. Even though he hoped for better days, there’s still a sense of emptiness in December. The mention of hiding behind the Christmas tree suggests trying to mask his sadness during the holidays, a time when he feels conflicted between outward cheer and inner loneliness.
