Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldnβ²t be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
Right about now...
If a judge for life me...
Would you stay by my side?
Or are ya gonna say good-bye?
Can you tell me right now?
If I couldn't buy you the fancy things in life
Would it be alright
Come and show me that youβ²re down
Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything...
I wanna know would you stick around?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldnβ²t be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
Well,
All I want is somebody real who donβ²t need much
A guy I know that I can trust...
To be here when money low
If I did not have nothing else to give but love...
Would that even be enough?
I really need to know
Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didnβ²t have anything...
I wanna know would you stick around?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
Tell me, tell me, would you want me? (Want me!)
Tell me, tell me, would you call me? (Call me!)
If you knew I wasnβ²t ballin'
Cause I need a boy whoβ²s always by my side...
Tell me, tell me, do you need me? (Need me)
Tell me, tell me, do you love me (Love me)?
Or are ya just tryna play me?
Cause I need a boy to hold me down for life...
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
Would you still love me the same?
Tell me honestly, would you stil/ love me the same...?
The song "Locked Away" by Maddie Wilson is essentially a love song that is centered on the theme of commitment. It begins with the artist imagining a scenario where she is locked away and everything she owns is taken away. The challenge is to determine whether her partner would still love her the same way they do now. The song invites her partner to consider her flaws, weakness and lack of material assets and ask themselves whether they would still stick around.
The artist further asks her partner a series of questions to evaluate whether they would stick around even when things get tough. For instance, she asks whether they would die for her, cry for her or hold her down when she is going through a difficult time. Maddie also questions whether her partner is looking for a real and genuine relationship or someone to play with.
It is an emotionally charged song that prompts the listener to consider what they would do if faced with a similar situation. Ultimately, the song encourages listeners to evaluate whether their love is based solely on material possessions or if it is a genuine connection based on character and personality.
