Show Me Love
Andy Brown and the Storm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Float away with me
Into another time
And you'll see
There's more than meets the eye
And some let it be
But I won't let it go
I'm willing to know
If it means that I'll grow
You just have to show
Show me what you are made of
Because it's better than losing your mind
Roll along with the punches
Or you'll be chewing on knuckles all the time
Float away with me
Into another lifetime
And you'll see
There's many inside of one
Turn over your leaves
And discover that you are a tree
You came from a seed
And now you're expected to be
Show me what you are made of
Because it's better than losing your mind
Roll along with the punches
Or you'll be chewing on knuckles all the time
Our energies just are not matchin'
Or at least yours ain't matchin' mine
It's fine if you need to get packin'
'Cause I know that the lackin' ain't mine
I'm fucked up as the next human
But I'm not boomin' to be bloomin'
With a woman that's different than mine
You fell for a delusion
But it's already controlling your mind
I guess that's just it then
You made your choice
There are plenty of roads around here and I've already chosen mine
So just pick any other direction
Don't get it twisted
I'm done with the mind games
Believe what you wanna believe
I don't pretend to be perfect
I'll admit when I'm wrong




You just keep telling yourself whatever you need to sleep at night
You're good at that

Let's escape from reality and explore something new


Into another time
Let's travel to a different era or moment in time


And you'll see
Once we get away, you'll understand a different perspective


There's more than meets the eye
There's a lot that we can't see or understand at first glance


And some let it be
Others accept things as they are without trying to understand further


But I won't let it go
But I won't give up on understanding or growing


I'm willing to know
I'm open to learning more


If it means that I'll grow
If it means I can improve myself, I'm willing to do it


You just have to show
Just give me a chance to see what I could be missing


Show me what you are made of
Demonstrate your true self to me


Because it's better than losing your mind
It's better to be authentic rather than pretending to be someone you're not


Roll along with the punches
Adapt to challenges and keep moving forward


Or you'll be chewing on knuckles all the time

Into another lifetime
Let's explore a different life or possibility


There's many inside of one
There are many different versions of ourselves that we can become


Turn over your leaves
Reflect on your past and your growth


And discover that you are a tree
And realize that you grew from small beginnings into someone great


You came from a seed
You started as something small but grew big


And now you're expected to be
And now you have potential to become something amazing


Our energies just are not matchin'
We don't connect or fit well together


Or at least yours ain't matchin' mine
Or at least, that's how I feel about you


It's fine if you need to get packin'
It's okay if you need to leave


'Cause I know that the lackin' ain't mine
Because I know that our connection wasn't my fault


I'm fucked up as the next human
I'm not perfect, I make mistakes too


But I'm not boomin' to be bloomin'
But I'm not trying to act like I'm perfect to impress someone


With a woman that's different than mine
With someone who isn't a good match for me


You fell for a delusion
You believed something that wasn't true


But it's already controlling your mind
And now it's affecting your thoughts and behavior


I guess that's just it then
So I guess that's the end of our connection


You made your choice
You chose to believe in something that wasn't real and it led to our disconnect


There are plenty of roads around here and I've already chosen mine
There are a lot of opportunities and paths to follow, but I'm already on my own journey


So just pick any other direction
So go ahead and make your choice and go your own way


Don't get it twisted
Don't misunderstand me


I'm done with the mind games
I'm tired of people pretending to be someone they're not


Believe what you wanna believe
You can believe whatever you want


I don't pretend to be perfect
I'm not claiming to be perfect


I'll admit when I'm wrong
I'm willing to accept my faults and acknowledge when I'm mistaken


You just keep telling yourself whatever you need to sleep at night
If believing something untrue helps you sleep at night, then go ahead


You're good at that
You're good at pretending and believing in something that isn't real

Fanwell Nyoni

I regard this as one of Andy Brown's best compositions.Supreme in terms of instrument arrangement, rich in lyrical content. Icing on the cake was when he would rope in chanter Potato mid way through his live performances. one cannot ignore the massive influence of maestro Keith Farquerson on keyboards and production of the song

The Orator

this track resonates when you know how it feels to be amongst people who care less about you.

kidznet mate

Yes , being around people who don't care about you is a difficult and unpleasant one, and that it can only truly be understood by those who have experienced it themselves.

Nemiah Mhembere

Music has a certain way of taking you back in time...

This song does it in a special type of way.

Brian Muyengwa
