Tell me Why
Supermode (Axwell & Steve Angello) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy cry
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why
No you never cried to them,
Just to your soul
No you never cried to them,
Just to your soul
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
The lyrics to Supermode's song "Tell Why" are simple yet evoke strong emotions. At the beginning of the song, the refrain "run away, turn away" repeats, creating a sense of desperation or a desire to escape. As the song progresses, the singer pleads with someone to tell them why they feel the need to run away or turn away from something or someone. The repetition of "tell me why" emphasizes the importance of understanding the motivations behind one's actions or feelings.
The second half of the song deals with the act of crying. It seems to suggest that the person the singer is addressing has never truly cried to others but only to themselves, to their own soul. This could imply a sense of isolation or a difficulty in opening up to others. The refrain "cry, boy, cry" is both encouraging and heartbreaking, as if urging the person to release their emotions while acknowledging the pain they are experiencing.
Overall, the song seems to navigate themes of isolation, desperation, and the importance of communication and understanding in relationships.
