Bass-T, or real name Sebastian, has had an avid interest in music ever since the age of eight when he had his first music lesson.
A year before he had met Sven Gruhnwald (DJ Sven-R-G or Rocco) and they become friends. This friendship was to lead to the setting up of their own studio and producing music. It was not easy to start with but after several productions for minor labels they were well on their way.
Their biggest success so far is with Rocco! Contrary to everyone's expectations their single 'Everybody' reached the Top 10 of the official German sales' charts! There was a follow-up of TV appearances on programmes such as Top of the Pops, Viva Interaktiv, The Dome, NBC Giga and so on. The follow-up 'Drop the Bass' once again reached the Top 20 of the official singles charts and the third single 'Generation of Love' reached no.22, which considering the state of the market was a remarkable success for a dance single.
Tell Me When
Rocco & Bass-T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm always with you
There's no way escaping you
That is what I do
Truce or trouble what's the game
It depends on how you play
In the dumps or all time high
I can be all that
Tell me
Would you comfort me
Tell me
What is it that you want from me
Tell me
Would you care for me
I can't tell if you're good or bad to me
Step by step I realise
You can't escape my eyes
I wish that I could cut the ties
You're not the first who tries
Can't you help me change the tune
That's nothing I can do
Friend or foe whats it gonna be
It depends all on you
Tell me
Would you comfort me
Tell me
What is it that you want from me
Tell me
Would you care for me
I can't tell if you're good or bad to me
Tell me
What is it that you want
Cuz I don't know
What you want from me
Tell me
Would you comfort me
Tell me
What is it that you want from me
Tell me
Would you care for me
I can't tell if you're good or bad to me
I can't tell if you're good or bad
I can't tell I can't tell
If you're good or bad
I can't tell if you're good or bad
I can't tell I can't tell
If you're good or bad
The lyrics of Rocco & Bass-T's song "Tell Me When" suggest a complex relationship where the singer is struggling to understand the intentions and emotions of someone they are deeply connected to. The lines "Everywhere I'm coming to, I'm always with you, There's no way escaping you, That is what I do" indicate a constant presence and connection between the two individuals. It seems like the singer is unable to escape the influence and impact this person has on their life.
The lyrics also introduce the concept of a game, where the outcome depends on how it is played. The line "Truce or trouble what's the game, It depends on how you play" suggests that the nature of their relationship can either be peaceful or filled with conflict, depending on the actions and choices made by both parties. The singer acknowledges that they can be at their lowest or highest points depending on their interaction with this person.
The lyrics continue to express the confusion and uncertainty felt by the singer. They desire clarity and understanding, as shown in the lines "Tell me, Would you comfort me, Tell me, What is it that you want from me, Tell me, Would you care for me." The singer cannot determine whether this person is good or bad for them, and this lack of clarity causes emotional turmoil.
Overall, "Tell Me When" portrays a relationship that is characterized by constant presence, emotional complexity, and the desire for understanding and clarity.

In the dumps or all time high

Can't you help me change the tune
Is there any way you can alter the situation
That's nothing I can do
Unfortunately, I am powerless in this regard
Friend or foe whats it gonna be
Will you be a supportive companion or an adversary
It depends all on you
The decision lies solely in your hands
Tell me
What is it that you want
Inform me of your desires or intentions

What you want from me
Because I am uncertain of what you expect from me
I can't tell if you're good or bad
I am unable to determine if you have positive or negative intentions
I can't tell I can't tell
It remains unclear, I am confused
If you're good or bad
Whether you are benevolent or malevolent
