Tell Me The Same

MICHL's song 'Tell Me The Same' delves into the complexities and uncertainties of love and relationships. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of vulnerability and the struggle to find stability in an ever-changing emotional landscape. The opening lines, 'It's hard to never know / What will rise / What will never grow,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the unpredictability of life and love. This uncertainty is further emphasized with the line, 'Where's home,' suggesting a search for a place or person that offers a sense of belonging and security.

The chorus, 'If love is on the way / Tell me where to wait / And I'll stay / As long as it takes,' reveals a willingness to endure and wait for love, despite the challenges and uncertainties. This patience is contrasted with the possibility that love might take 'another road / To find another home,' indicating the fear of being left behind or replaced. The repeated plea, 'Just tell me the same,' underscores the need for reassurance and mutual commitment in the relationship.

The song also touches on the themes of truth and deception, with lines like 'the truth is the truth / Sometimes carried with pain / And a lie is just a lie / That only carries our shame.' These lyrics suggest that honesty, even when painful, is preferable to the shame and guilt that come with lies. The repeated questioning of feelings and the ultimate declaration, 'Still you're all I want,' highlight the internal conflict and the desire for clarity and reciprocation in love. MICHL's raw and emotive delivery, combined with the introspective lyrics, create a poignant exploration of the highs and lows of romantic relationships.

The bridge, 'I don't got much / But the half I got is the half I'm giving you,' further emphasizes the theme of vulnerability and the willingness to give everything one has, even if it feels insufficient. This sentiment is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and emotional investments that come with love. Overall, 'Tell Me The Same' is a heartfelt and introspective song that captures the essence of navigating love's uncertainties and the longing for mutual understanding and commitment.
