Tell Me Why
Dave Pearce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wonder if I could open my heart again (if I could, if I could, if I could)
Ask me why I feel like at start again
Wonder if I could open my heart again (heart again, heart again)
Ask me why I feel like at start again
The morning comes and the snow is falling
The morning comes and the snow is falling
The morning comes and the snow is falling
Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
The morning comes and the snow is falling
The morning comes and the snow is falling
The morning comes
I can't understand the reason
And snow the is falling (tell me why)
The morning comes
I can't understand the reason
And snow the is falling (tell me why)
The lyrics of Dave Pearce's "Tell Me Why" express the idea of someone who is struggling with a difficult situation or emotion that they cannot seem to escape from, and they are pleading for answers. The repetition of "run away, turn away" is a desperate attempt by the person to distance themselves from the source of their pain. However, they are ultimately unable to escape and are left with nothing but their own tears and unanswered questions. The use of "cry, boy, cry" in the chorus is a directive to let out the emotions and confront the pain instead of trying to ignore it.
