The lyrics to Supermode's "Tell Me Why" exude an air of confusion and desperation. The repetition of phrases such as "run away" and "tell me why" suggest a pursuit of answers or escape from an overwhelming situation. The repeated use of "cry, boy, cry" adds to the dramatic and emotional nature of the lyrics.
The lines "no you never cried to them, just to your soul" suggest a sense of isolation and the need to confront deep-seated emotions internally. It could be interpreted as a call to action to express and process emotions rather than bottling them up.
