Tell me
The Embassy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me
I′m all ears
And talk to me I'm still here
Took a little time for me to catch up
With your biology
Take some time to open our heart
In this society
Took some time till I found out

It′s gonna be alright
There's so much left to be offered
And suddenly
It's you and me
Suddenly
That′s where I want to be
Took a little time for me to catch up
With your biology
Take some time to open our heart
In this society
Took some time till I found out
It′s gonna be alright
There's so much left to be offered
Took a little time for me to catch up
With your biology
Take some time to open their heart
In this society
Took some time, but I found out
It′s gonna be alright
Gonna do it right
Your gonna be alright
It's just
Something in the neighborhood that hurts
Oh tell me when
It′s just
Something in the neighborhood that hurts

Tell me when the light is green
Tell me when the light is green
Tell me when the light is green
Tell me when the light is green
Tell me when the light is green
It took a little time for me to catch up
It takes some time to open their hearts
It took a little time for me to catch up
It takes some time to open their hearts
Tell me when it's time to start

Overall Meaning

The Embassy's song "Tell me" is an introspective and hopeful piece that speaks to the need for connection and understanding in a world that can often feel chaotic and isolating. The lyrics urge the listener to open up and communicate, to take the time to connect with others and to embrace the society in which we live. The repeated line "Took a little time for me to catch up/With your biology" speaks to the idea that while we may all be fundamentally the same, it still takes time and effort to truly understand and empathize with each other. The song ultimately ends on a note of optimism - "It's gonna be alright" - reminding us that even amidst the struggles and challenges of life, there is still hope for a better future as long as we take the time to truly connect with each other.
