Men
Tink & DJ Dahi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talk to me mentally, wise from a symphony
'Cause you can't hear and I can't
Stand with all this arguing
Tried to connect with me
I found the epiphany
Like a mystery, you don't seem to be
Who you were back then
Now you're just giving up
Now I'm swerving, thoughts start turning
I gave you all the signs
And you still ignore it
So what the fuck am I to do?
Just get me to an empty room
No signal on this road we're going down

Shut up, by now you'd have it
Can't fix one thing in silence
You say you care but you don't
Care like how I care and that's fucked up
And what hurts the most is
You don't want my love my love, no

Can't explain men
Say what you wanna hear, they will
You'll never understand how it feels, no, no
Trying to get through to a person
Who can't, who can't, who can't
Feel what you feel
Say what you wanna hear, they will
You'll never understand how it feels, no, no
Trying to get through to a person
Who can't, who can't, who can't
Feel what you feel

I wanna feel deep with your actions
I wanna feel more than attraction
I wanna get deeper then deep
If it's not what I think then I
Think you should be more clear
Tell me you was down for the ride
I guess now the rules don't apply for a nigga
And if we can't draw close, baby
You'll never get that picture
So talk to me but mentally
I wanna feel that chemistry
That we both had, we both had
My heart's in between my mind
I love you but love is blind
It's clear to see we're going down

Shut up, by now you'd have it
Can't fix one thing in silence
You say you care but you don't
Care like how I care and that's fucked up
And what hurts the most is
You don't want my love my love, no, no

Can't explain men
Say what you wanna hear, they will
You'll never understand how it feels, no, no
Trying to get through to a person
Who can't, who can't, who can't
Feel what you feel
Say what you wanna hear, they will
You'll never understand how it feels, no, no
Trying to get through to a person




Who can't, who can't, who can't
Feel what you feel

Overall Meaning

In the song "M.E.N." by Tink & DJ Dahi, the lyrics delve into the frustration and disappointment that arises from trying to connect with someone who doesn't reciprocate the same level of emotional investment. The opening lines, "Talk to me mentally, wise from a symphony, 'Cause you can't hear and I can't stand with all this arguing," highlight the desire for open and meaningful communication, contrasting with the constant conflicts and misunderstandings that plague the relationship.


The singer expresses their realization of the other person's changed behavior, stating, "Like a mystery, you don't seem to be who you were back then." This shift in the dynamics of the relationship is met with resistance and a desire to distance oneself, as indicated by the lyrics, "Now you're just giving up, now I'm swerving, thoughts start turning." The singer has given numerous signs and tried to convey their feelings, yet the other person continues to ignore them, leading to frustration and a sense of hopelessness.


The chorus emphasizes the inability to comprehend the actions and emotions of the other person: "Can't explain men, say what you wanna hear, they will, you'll never understand how it feels, no, no, trying to get through to a person who can't, who can't, who can't feel what you feel." This highlights the struggle of trying to bridge the emotional gap with someone who cannot empathize or truly understand the depth of one's feelings. The desire for a deeper connection is expressed, but the singer acknowledges the lack of clarity and reciprocation from the other person.


Overall, "M.E.N." explores the frustration of trying to connect with someone who is emotionally distant, highlighting the struggle to be understood and supported in a relationship.

Talk to me mentally, wise from a symphony
Cuz' you can’t hear and I can’t stand with all this arguing
Tried to connect with me, I found the epiphany
Like a mystery, you don’t seem to be
Who you were back then, now you’re just giving up
Now I’m swerving, thoughts start turning
I gave you all the signs and you still ignore it
So what the fuck am I to do? Just get me to an empty room
No signal on this road we’re going down

[Pre-Chorus:]
Shut up, by now you have it
Can't fix one thing in silence
You say you care but you don't care like how I care
And that's fucked up
And what hurts the most is you don't want my love
My love, no, can't explain it

[Chorus X2:]
Say what you wanna hear, they will
You’ll never understand how it feels, no
Trying to get through to a person
Who can't, who can't, who can't
Feel what you feel

[Verse 2:]
I wanna feel deep with your actions
I wanna feel more than attraction
I wanna get deeper then deep
If it’s not what I think then I think you should be more clear
Tell me you was down for the ride
I guess now the rules don’t apply for a nigga
And if we can’t draw close, baby, you’ll never get that picture
So talk to me but mentally, I wanna feel that chemistry
That we both had, we both had
My heart’s in between my mind
I love you but love is blind
It’s clear to see we’re going down

[Pre-Chorus:]
Shut up, by now you have it
Can't fix one thing in silence
You say you care but you don't care like how I care
And that's fucked up
And what hurts the most is you don't want my love
My love, no, can't explain it
