Can You Tell
Miley Cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Don't tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow
'Cause you said so, mmm hmm
Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time, no, no
Let it fall by the way
But don't leave me where I lay down

Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do (Uh, yeah)
Tell me everything I'm not but
Please don't tell me to stop
And we can't stop and we won't stop
Can't you see it's we who own the night?
Can't you see it's we who 'bout that life?
And we can't stop (Come on, people, Hey)
And we won't stop
'Cause we run things, things don't run we
We don't take nothing from nobody yeah, yeah

(Come on)
Red cups and sweaty bodies everywhere
Hands in the air like we don't care
'Cause we came to have so much fun now
Bet somebody here might get some now
If you're not ready to go home
Can I get a "Hell no"?
'Cause we gonna go all night
'Til we see the sunlight, alright

And we won't stop (Tell me love isn't true)
Can't you see it's we who own the night?
(It's just something that we do)
Can't you see it's we who 'bout that life?
(Tell me everything I'm not)
And we can't stop
(Don't you ever tell me love isn't true)
And we won't stop
(It's just something that we do)
'Cause we run things, things don't run we
(Don't you ever tell me everything I'm not)
We don't take nothing from nobody
(But don't ever tell me to stop) yeah, yeah
And we won't stop (Tell me love isn't true)
Can't you see it's we who own the night?
(It's just something that we do)
Can't you see it's we who 'bout that life?
(Tell me everything I'm not)
And we can't stop
(Don't you ever tell me love isn't true)
And we won't stop
(It's just something that we do)
'Cause we run things, things don't run we
(Don't you ever tell me everything I'm not)
We don't take nothing from nobody
(But don't ever tell me to stop) here we go

Please don't, please don't
Please don't tell me to stop
(Don't you ever) Don't you ever
Don't ever tell us to stop

(Don't you ever) Please don't (C'mon)
Please don't (Break it down)
Please don't tell me to stop




(Don't you ever) Don't you (Ay) ever
Don't ever tell us to stop don't you ever!

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Miley Cyrus's song "Can't Be Tamed," the singer reflects on the freedom and empowerment she feels in her own skin. The defiance against conformity and societal expectations is a prominent theme throughout the song. The opening lines "Don't tell me to stop, Tell the rain not to drop, Tell the wind not to blow" convey a sense of rebellion against being controlled or restrained by external forces. Miley refuses to be restricted by anyone telling her what to do or how to live her life, symbolized by elements like the rain and wind.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of not conforming to societal norms and continuing to live life on one's terms. The repetition of "And we can't stop and we won't stop" reinforces the determination to break free from limitations and assert individuality. Miley asserts ownership over her choices and actions, declaring that they are in control of their own destiny and will not be swayed by others' opinions or judgment.


As the song progresses, the atmosphere changes to a more celebratory tone, with references to partying and carefree enjoyment. The lyrics describe a scene of revelry and freedom, with lines like "Red cups and sweaty bodies everywhere, Hands in the air like we don't care." This part of the song captures the essence of youthful exuberance and living in the moment without inhibition or concern for consequences.


The final plea in the lyrics, "Please don't tell me to stop, Don't you ever tell us to stop," serves as a defiant statement against anyone trying to hinder or suppress the singer's self-expression and autonomy. It encapsulates the overarching message of the song, which is about embracing one's true self, having the courage to defy expectations, and reveling in the freedom that comes from being unapologetically authentic. "Can't Be Tamed" ultimately celebrates individuality, self-empowerment, and the unwavering spirit of those who refuse to be silenced or constrained.

It is time to repent!
It is time to BORN AGAIN!
It is time to reject all sins!
it is time to pick up your cross and follow the one who redeems your soul.
This world serves BAAL, why you want to do the same?
Are your eyes still blind, that you see not, all the idols of yours are showing off freemasonry hand signs?, neither do you see the clear signs of being inverted? Publicly known as being trans. All the idols of yours, you hear them as a deaf or actually taking a listen? Neither to you see, they all to be members of the same club – masonry?
GOD – the creator exist and god of this world exist also.
One redeems, the other deceives. Between these 2 a choosing is to make, WHOM SHALL WE SERVE?
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.


To the lgbtq++++:
the lgbtq++ club/cult became to be, because of the masons depopulation agendas. search about them. Judge based on knowledge not based on feelings. feelings lie, humans understandings are false. opinions useless. TRUTH alone is what always stays mattering.

When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - In The Sky” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕

@FirugamerYT
