Tell Me Where It Hurts
M.Y.M.P. (Make Your Momma Proud) Juris & Chin Lyrics

time, then make it worse
The lyrics of "Tell Me Where It Hurts" by M.Y.M.P. Juris & Chin speak about the feeling of being trapped in a situation where you are unsure of what is going on. The analogy of a butterfly trapped inside a plane signifies the feeling of being stuck and unable to escape. The singer is aware that something is not right but is uncertain and confused. The repetition of the line "If I'm already out of time, then make it worse" shows the singer's acknowledgement that things are not going well, and they are ready for whatever hardships come their way.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the need to face the pain head-on. The singer asks to be hit in the heart, where it hurts most. This shows their willingness to deal with their problems, even if it means experiencing pain. The next part describes various scenarios: a moving target, baggage claim, magic carpet, and a carousel. All of these indicate changes in the situation, symbolizing the uncertainty and unpredictability of life. The singer acknowledges that one day, someone will hate them, but right now, they want to ride out the present difficulty.

In the next stanza, the singer uses more analogies to describe the various vulnerabilities we have. The blind spot refers to a lack of awareness or knowledge, and Achilles heel signifies a weakness or vulnerability. The next lines of "Longshot, left field, vertigo, vertigo, high stakes, popped ears" describe situations of being lost or unsure, further emphasizing the feeling of being trapped. The final lines "Do you feel safe? Now that you've found my gun, I'll be the nurse, you'll be my number one" describe the complexities of relationships and how people can be both the cause of someone's pain and their source of comfort.
