Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you thinking 'bout something better?
Holding onto you
While you drag me through stormy weather
The only time you smile is in the photographs
And when I pull you close, it's like you're holding back
Before we turn to strangers tryna love in the dark
Tell it to my heart
'Cause I can't keep guessing
If it's me you're missing
Tell it to my heart
'Cause the sounded silence
Is a place we're dying
Tell it to my heart, heart, ah
Tell it to my heart, heart, ah
Tell it to my heart
'Cause I can't keep guessing
If it's me you're missing
Tell it to my heart
'Cause the sounded silence
Is a place we're dying
Tell it to my heart
Before a light goes out
Come and tell me now if something's fading
'Cause I can feel it in
Every single thing that you're not saying
You move close to me but I can feel a space
Whatever time we have, I'm not gonna wasteBefore we turn to strangers tryna love in the dark
Tell it to my heart
'Cause I can't keep guessing
If it's me you're missing
Tell it to my heart
'Cause the sounded silence
Tell it to my heart, heart, ah
Tell it to my heart, heart, ah
Tell it to my heart
'Cause I can't keep guessing
If it's me you're missing
Tell it to my heart
'Cause the sounded silence
Is a place we're dying
Tell it to my heart
The song "Tell It To My Heart" by Meduza feat. Hozier is about a troubled relationship that is hitting a crisis point due to the lack of communication between the partners. The lyrics suggest that the singer is trying to understand what the other person is thinking and feeling, but they are unable to share their thoughts and emotions. The song describes the frustration of feeling like they are being dragged through difficult times while still trying to hold onto their love. The only time the other person seems happy or open is during a photograph, which suggests a façade or false pretense.
The chorus, "Tell it to my heart", is a plea for the other person to speak up and tell them what they are feeling. The singer cannot keep guessing because the silence is destroying their relationship, and they do not want to waste any time before it's too late. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware that the other person's feelings may have changed or that they may be considering leaving the relationship. The reference to turning into strangers "tryna love in the dark" emphasizes the lack of communication between the partners who once knew everything about each other. The song ends with a sense of urgency, with the singer repeating the chorus, asking the other person to tell them what's on their mind before the light goes out.
