Tell Me Why

The song 'Tell Me Why' by Berserk delves into the theme of confronting fear and embracing change. The lyrics encourage listeners to shed any shame they may feel about themselves and to be open to the transformations that life brings. The repeated phrase 'Feel no shame about shape' suggests that one should accept their own identity and the natural evolution of life without feeling embarrassed or guilty. The song emphasizes that change is a constant and natural process, as indicated by 'Weather changes their phrase,' and that even a nurturing figure like a mother may point you towards an alternative path.

The chorus, 'Tell me what, tell me what, tell me what you want,' paired with 'I don't know why, don't know why, don't know why you afraid,' reflects a dialogue with oneself or another person, probing the reasons behind their fears and hesitations. The repetition of 'I don't know why' indicates a sense of confusion or a lack of understanding about what is holding them back. The song suggests that fear of the unknown or fear of change may be the culprit, and it's never too late to confront these fears and express one's desires openly.

The song also touches on the idea of self-empowerment and taking control of one's destiny. Phrases like 'It's up to you' and 'It belongs to you' reinforce the notion that individuals have the power to shape their own lives. The lyrics 'Don't put your eyes on boots / Step forward your roots' metaphorically advise listeners to focus on their origins and core values rather than being distracted by materialistic pursuits. The song ultimately conveys a message of self-acceptance, courage to face change, and the importance of understanding one's true desires to move forward in life.
