Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me why honest word are just so Hard to find
In times like ours
In times like these?
So tell me why
Make-believe is beating out what's Real tonight
Real tonight?
You make a wish
Why don't we start creating it ourselves? Ourselves
Oh tell me why!
Oh tell me why!
Why?
Oh Why?
And my thoughts are carried away And my thoughts are carried away Oh na na na oh na na (Repeat)
I'll make a start
And tell you that I feel lonely
On these
Endless day
These endless days without you
Oh tell me why
Why do we keep pretending That everything is fine Everything is fine
Just make a wish
What is a world you would like to live in? Oh tell me why
Why don't we start creating it ourselves? Ourselves
Oh tell me why?
Oh tell me why?
Why?
Oh Why?
And my thoughts are carried away And my thoughts are carried away Oh na na na oh na na (Repeat)
The lyrics of Danny Fervent's "Tell Me Why" explore the difficulty in finding truth and honesty in the world today. The singer questions why it is so hard to find "honest words" in a world where "make-believe is beating out what's real tonight". It seems that people are more interested in pretending that everything is fine than facing the truth about their lives and the state of the world. The singer urges listeners to imagine the world they would like to live in and to start creating it themselves, rather than waiting for someone else to make it happen.
The lyrics also touch on the emotions of loneliness and longing for connection. The singer reveals that he feels lonely on the "endless days without you". It's not clear who he is referring to specifically, but the sense of yearning for someone's presence is palpable. The repetition of the phrase "tell me why" throughout the song emphasizes the singer's confusion and longing for answers.
Overall, the song seems to encourage listeners to take action to create a better world for themselves and those around them, rather than waiting for change to happen. It's a call to embrace honesty and truth, even when it's difficult.
