Tell Me
Discovering Life's Essence Through 'Tell Me' by Ruth Cornelius
Lyrics
Tell me what makes you happy
Tell me about the things that bring you joy.
Tell me what makes you sad
Share with me what causes you sorrow.
Who has ever hurt you
Who has caused you pain in the past?
Is everything alright
Are you currently okay?
Does the rain make you happy
Does rainfall bring you happiness?
Do you love the breeze
Do you find comfort in the gentle breeze?
I know you hate your room
It's known that you dislike your untidy room.
When it's shabby
Especially when it's messy.
Or your face when you sneeze
Even your facial expressions, like sneezing, matter to me.
Though all these things
Despite these details seeming nonsensical to me.
Make no sense to me
They are significant to you.
But all these things do
All these seemingly trivial things are meaningful.
Mean the world to me
They hold great importance in my eyes.
I know your grandmom tells you stories
Your grandmother shares tales that lull you to sleep.
And makes you fall asleep
Your mother's embrace feels like home in times of tears.
Only your mother's shoulders feel like
Her shoulders provide solace when you weep.
Home when you weep
Expressing the sense of security in maternal care.
All these little details make you
These small details contribute to your profound personality.
Intensely deep
Your depth as an individual is shaped by these details.
I know you're a bit older but
Despite your age, it's acceptable, and I understand.
That's okay maybe
Age doesn't diminish the importance of these details.
Though all these things
Similar to earlier, these things may seem unclear to me.
Make no sense to me
Yet, they hold great significance for you.
But all these things do
Reiterating the importance of seemingly trivial things.
Mean the world to me
They are invaluable to me, despite my lack of understanding.
Have you ever took sometime
Have you taken the time to truly observe your surroundings?
To see what you're seeing
Understanding the significance of what you see.
And it's alright to know what you mean
It's acceptable to comprehend the meaning behind your experiences.
Though all these things
Despite these things seeming unclear to me.
Make no sense to me
They are vital and meaningful to you.
But all these things do
Reiterating the profound value of seemingly nonsensical details.
Mean the world to me
They hold immeasurable importance in my perception of you.
