In the song Tellem by The Internet, the lyrics talk about the complexity of human behavior and how sometimes people do things that others do not understand. The song suggests that if someone asks about it, the response should be to tell them that the singer of the song is in love with someone. The simplicity of this message is conveyed through the repetitive chorus lines of "Tellem that I love you, babe" and a declaration of "always gonna love you baby" in the final lines.
The song evokes the feeling of being uncertain about the intricacy of love and how to express it in a clear manner. It portrays the idea that love is a basic emotion that is not always easy to put into words, and how it can lead to behaviors that are not easily explainable. The Internet's song addresses the universality of love and its implications in human behavior.
In conclusion, Tellem is a song that speaks about the complexity of human emotions, our trouble in expressing them, and the acceptance that comes with being in love. It suggests that, in the end, all that matters is the expression of love, regardless of the actions and behavior that may not make sense to others.
