Why
DJ Sammy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why...
How many times do I have to try and tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey
(Only just begun)
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn
To keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me
Why...
Why...
I may be mad, I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out
Turning inside out
Tell me
Why...
Why...
Tell me
Why...
Why...
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that summers bring
These are the tears we shared
This is the fear, this is the dread
A lot of conscience off my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel
(Why...)
Don't think you know how I feel
I said think you know what I feel
Why...
Why...
The song "Why" by DJ Sammy is about regret, missed opportunities, and unspoken feelings. The singer admits his mistakes, but struggles to express his remorse to the person he hurt. He finds it difficult to communicate honestly and openly because every time he tries, he is shut down by the other person. The line "I tell myself too many times, why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut" shows that the singer realizes he may have caused the pain himself by not being careful with his words. He is mad, blind, and unkind, but can still understand what the other person is thinking, and hopes that they can overcome their doubts and fears to come together. The chorus of the song repeatedly asks the question "Why," emphasizing the confusion and longing the singer feels.
In the second part of the song, the singer reflects on missed opportunities and unfulfilled dreams, and wonders how things might have been different if he had spoken up and expressed his feelings. He acknowledges the fear and dread that was holding him back and notes that he now feels like a weight has been lifted from his conscience. He ends by asking if the other person knows how he feels, but also cautions them not to assume they do, showing that he still struggles with open communication.
Line by Line Meaning
How many times do I have to try and tell you
I have already apologized multiple times, but I'm willing to keep trying
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
I regret my past actions and want to make amends
But when I start to try to tell you
Although I want to explain myself, I'm afraid of your reaction
That's when you have to tell me
You interrupt me before I can fully express myself
This kind of trouble's only just begun
Our conflicts are just getting started and have the potential to escalate
I tell myself too many times
I constantly remind myself that I need to change my behavior
Why don't you ever learn
I'm frustrated with myself for repeating the same mistakes
To keep your big mouth shut
I should think before I speak to prevent hurting others
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
Your criticism and reprimands make me feel even worse
Falling from your mouth
Your words feel like a barrage of attacks
I may be mad, I may be blind
I'm aware that my emotions may be irrational and my perspective may be limited
I may be viciously unkind
Sometimes I say hurtful things out of anger or frustration
But I can still read what you're thinking
Despite my shortcomings, I understand your feelings and point of view
Let's go down to the water's edge
Let's take a peaceful break from our conflict and think clearly
And we can cast away those doubts
By talking openly and honestly, we can overcome any insecurities or uncertainties
Some things are better left unsaid
There are certain topics or words that can be more harmful than helpful
But they still turn me inside out
Even when we don't talk about them, those topics still cause me emotional turmoil
This is the book I never read
There are parts of myself and my life that I have neglected or ignored
These are the words I never said
There are things I should have communicated or expressed but haven't
This is the path I'll never tread
There are opportunities or experiences that I've missed out on
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
I have other, alternative aspirations that I focus on instead
This is the joy that summers bring
There are happy, positive moments in life that I cherish
These are the tears we shared
There are difficult, emotional moments in life that have brought us together
This is the fear, this is the dread
There are fears and anxieties that weigh heavily on me
A lot of conscience off my head
I feel relieved and unburdened after admitting these thoughts and feelings
And these are the years that we have spent
These are the moments and memories that have shaped us
And this is what they represent
They represent the ups and downs of life, the good and the bad
And this is how I feel
This is my honest, genuine emotional state
Do you know how I feel
I'm questioning if you truly understand my feelings
