Tell Me
Fantastic Plastic Machine Lyrics

tell me what kind of person are you?
The singer wants to know about the personality of the person they are addressing.

a rebel with no cause, you're an activist
You stand up for what you believe in, even if others may see it as unnecessary.

so unselfish, yet you're an egoist
Although you do things for others, ultimately, it is for your own interest.

bright and breezy, kind of a pessimist
You have a pleasant attitude but deep down, you expect the worst.

stem and silent, must be an optimist
You may appear reserved, but it could be because you have faith in the best possible outcome.

love to tease, i guess you're a masochist
You enjoy playing games with others, although it may sometimes hurt you too.

soft and tender, heard you're a sadist
Despite your gentle appearance, you might actually take pleasure in causing others pain.

bad with money, you're an economist
You may not handle your finances well, but you make up for it with your expertise in other areas.

thought you're mean, a perfect philanthropist
Others may perceive you as harsh, but in fact, you have a great concern for the welfare of others.

full of hopeless dreams, you're a realist
Although you dream often, you always face reality and understand what is attainable and what isn't.

with a hardened heart, a romanticist
You come off as tough but deep down, you are a romantic at heart.

gotta tell you, you're the one I love
The artist confesses their love for the person they are addressing.

and in an instant i'm caught up in a daze
The singer becomes lost in thought immediately after hearing your responses.

all you've told me, i really am amazed

you cause me pain, when you're bringing me such joy
Your actions may be hurting the singer, but at the same time, they are enjoying it.

can i unveil the disguises you employ?
The artist wants to know the true personality behind the facade that the person they are addressing puts on.

please forgive me i let you down, i made you frown
The artist apologizes for upsetting the person they are addressing.

you're a preacher, yet you enjoy the sin
You may be a religious leader, but you also have a desire to indulge in sinful activities.

you're a nun, but look at the state you're in
You may lead a religious life, but your current circumstances may not reflect that.

you're a judge convicting the innocent
You make judgments, but sometimes they may not always be correct.

you're a tramp who lives in extravagance
Despite living a wild and reckless lifestyle, you have material possessions that suggest otherwise.

you're a poet, don't know the alphabet
Despite having a love for literature, you may not be educated in the basics.

you're a diver climbing up Everest
You take on seemingly impossible tasks.

you're a gambler who's never made a bet
You take risks but in unconventional and unexpected ways.

you're a sniper, can't even fire a gun
Despite having the skills for certain activities, there may be a key part of it you cannot perform.

you're a loser, yet every race you've won
Despite not leading the most successful life, you have accomplished great things.

you're a millionaire, every penny's gone
You may have plenty of money, but you have no idea where it's all gone.

in every moment i feel eternity
The artist feels as if time stands still when they are with the person they are addressing.

i recall every crime that we repeat
The artist is aware of the mistakes they are making repeatedly.

when our tomorrows precede our yesterdays
The future is uncertain, and the singer feels they are living in an unusual time where the future is unknown.

our time is over, we're nearly underway
The singer feels that something big is about to happen, and their time is running out.

there's so much more that we could achieve
The artist feels that there are endless possibilities with the person they are addressing.

tell me where you go, just tell me what you need and, just tell me who you know, just tell me everything
The artist wants to know all the details about the person they are addressing.

you're a wolf that runs with the city crowd
Despite being wild and independent, you still have a place within society.

you're a fish in water above the clouds
You may appear out of place, but you still manage to thrive in your environment.

you're a star that's shining below the ground
You may have your talents unappreciated or be in an unexpected setting, but you still shine.
