Psychological analysis of Tears for Fears’s song: “Goodnight Song”: 

(Requested by @pauls-mccharmly)

It’s the final song of the album, which means it’s the last feeling that Roland is living in the present. In that year. Or part of it. Metaphorically he is on stage (in the video he is seen singing and playing his guitar along with his bandmates). Roland is like in the point of his iceberg. (Like Sigmund Freud’s theory of the “ICEBERG”). Here is talking how time pass by, feeling so weak, so lonely, with eventually no friends to count on. The only one who helped him was gone. And that was a fact that Roland had to accept. He remembers the songs he previously sang along with Curt, such as the albums: “The Hurting”, “Songs From the Big Chair” and “The Seeds of Love”. That no matter what, those songs will remain forever in people’s minds along with his own mind through the years. Roland feels so tired of playing over and over the same stuff. He wants to be different, not to feel pain, sadness, grief and sorrow. Maybe he is just giving up. He also knows that he’s not the same young boy as he was before. That he has changed in every single way. His voice is getting more deeper, more softer, more sad. He is so depressed that his voice is ageing. That all of the sounds are so playing like nothing can happen. This is like a farewell song from Roland. He blames the crowd (which are the press and maybe some other people) for talking nonsenses about him. Maybe they are blaming him for Curt’s departure. He just want some honesty. He wants the people to only think or to hold his good moments and the rest to let go, like dust. I think he’s talking to himself. Like he is telling: “Okay Roland. Get out of your comfortable safe zone and be a real man! Stop crying about the past. Just let it go.” He also thinks that without pain, nothing can change. And he just keeps blaming everyone else of the mistakes he made. But deep inside he feels so lonely. But at the same time, he’s in peace. So, in the video he is just singing for himself, for the sake of his own soul. And at the same time he's smiling, because he knows that eventually all of that pain will fade away.

Psychological analysis of Tears for Fears’s song: “Break It Down Again”: 

The third song of the album and maybe the most “happy” one. Even though that the true meaning behind the lyrics are quite particularly interesting to analyse. Basically Roland is feeling so weird but at the same he feels that everything must end. That every single form of life has to die. He knows deep inside his heart that the friendship with Curt is gone, it was already dead. And again, Roland is speaking to himself. He’s telling him that he need to break those tears away, to break them again. Roland says to people that they need to appreciate for things that are being decaying. That life must end with death. That they need to get over it. That Curt’s friendship was something nice but eventually, soon or later, it was happening to become so empty. It was dying. Roland keeps saying so many times to himself that everything can change, depending how you look at it. That he wants to break those chains that are being hold in his life, in his heart. In the video Roland is all alone, but many times he’s dancing, having fun. He’s also with his bandmates, but then again, he’s no with them, at least no psychically. Roland has never been fond of looking at the camera, but in this particular case, he looks at you, clapping, dancing, walking around, in the dessert. And even if he's with his bandmates playing and stuff, he's (again) playing for himself. The dessert we see is a reference to his heart. Maybe he’s feeling so weird but the only thing he truly wants is that everything needs to happen. Bad or good. That nothing is eternal. Not even the love of a friend.
