Every Tear Disappears Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, a smile is more than showing teeth
Oh, it's not the potion, it's the magic that I seek
[Chorus]
Every tear disappears
Every tear disappears
[Verse 2]
Oh, the more that I struggle, oh, the deeper in the pit
If I can show a hand, then I can show a fist
[Pre-Chorus]
Call the twenty-first century
Tell her, "Give us a break"
[Chorus]
Every tear disappears
Every tear disappears
[Bridge]
Oh, and what about the pain?
Don't ask me how, I just know that it fades
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
Every tear disappears
Every eye is a seer, oh
Oh, a smile is more than showing teeth
Oh, it's not the potion, it's the magic that I seek
[Chorus]
Every tear disappears
Every tear disappears
[Verse 2]
Oh, the more that I struggle, oh, the deeper in the pit
If I can show a hand, then I can show a fist
[Pre-Chorus]
Call the twenty-first century
Tell her, "Give us a break"
[Chorus]
Every tear disappears
Every tear disappears
[Bridge]
Oh, and what about the pain?
Don't ask me how, I just know that it fades
Hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
Every tear disappears
Every eye is a seer, oh

Genius Annotation
“Every Tear Disappears” touches on the theme previously seen in “Huey Newton” and “Digital Witness” on St.Vincent’s self-titled album, that theme being the isolation brought upon us by the internet. Annie claims the World Wide Web is putting people into their own world and robbing us of our emotional capabilities. This song sees her longing for real emotion beyond the digital world.
