So this is what it's like when doves cry....

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker seems to reach a sudden realisation of what a sad feeling is like, using the image of crying doves. The trailing ellipsis suggests a dawning, wistful moment. The tone may be a touch theatrical, and the words do not say what caused it.
