Song Meaning of “Tears From Out of Nowhere” by Bob Luman
Tears From Out of Nowhere tells the story of a protagonist struggling to cope with heartache brought on by a sudden and unexpected breakup. The narrator paints a vivid picture of the inconsolable grief he experiences, from the moments of numbness to bouts of uncontrollable tears. His sadness is so acute that it feels like sudden downpours of grief, and even when surrounded by laughter and joy it is impossible for him to find respite.
The song is an ode to the powerlessness of love and the despair of a broken heart. Even though the world keeps spinning and others around him are seemingly unaffected, the narrator cannot find a way to move on. He sinks into a dark place—where there exist no happy endings—and questions why fate has been so cruel to him. ‘Tears From Out of Nowhere’ is a melancholic reminder that sometimes the pain of love can blindside us, leaving us hopelessly vulnerable and unable to cope.
