No Tears Left To Cry Lyrics

[Verse]
Right now I'm in a state of mind,
I wanna be in like all the time
Ain't got no tears left to cry

So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up
I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up

[Spoken]
Pickin' it up, pickin' it up
I'm lovin'...

    The song is about the disorientation you go through in life and the complexities and disillusionment of the world. whether you need to find the ground or whether the ground's just what you make of it. The song is literally about picking your life up when a recent event puts it upside down. At first listen, 'no tears left to cry' seems like another unoriginal meaningless pop songs, but actually you'll understand the meaning behind it more if you know about the Manchester attack and watch the music video.

    This song was written for the Manchester attack and is referring to how after everyone's suffered and mourned, she can muster the emotion to grieve anymore, as well as the difficulties and things we go through in life. It's basically saying that after being slapped in the face by the cruel reality of this world, she's ready to get back up and start really living again.

    I honestly thought it meant that she doesn't need anyone because when she says "we're on a different mentality" probably meant that her and someone else is on a different mental level or state therefore we're on a different mentality

    I believe this song is about having a healthy state of mind/mentality and not wasting the days away being sad or unhappy.

    “Oh I just want you to come with me. We on another mentality. Ain’t got no tears left to cry”

    ^ I believe this line is about her wanting all of us to stop crying over things we can’t control or past mistakes, forgive + accept ourselves and others, and live our lives to the fullest; being happy.

    This is the best song ever. Really! It came out THE DAY AFTER A BOMBING, and it's about... *cries because im so inspired* no matter how many times you fall, believe you can get back up again. And you will. But it's also a love song somehow?? Hmm. BUT HELP ME MAKE ARIANA THE MOST POPULAR FEMALE! SHE'S IN SECOND PLACE!!! LET'S KICK TAYLOR SWIFT OFF THE THRONE! JOIN ME! MUAHHAHAAAA

    Mmmmmkay. If anyone read my reviews on other Ariana Grande songs, you should know I don't like her. Like, really don't like her. But this one's ok.

    "Right now I'm in a state of mind,
    I wanna be in like all the time
    Ain't got no tears left to cry

    So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up
    I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up"

    I think that this song is about dealing with hardship and regaining your strength after this hardship. All of us who have dealt with a bad breakup know that it's hard, so this one is actually relatable, unlike the ones that talk about how awesome it is to be rich and hot and whhhhhhatever.

    It was about the Manchester bombing. It was about her moving on.
