tell me Lyrics by 2hollis is a new english song by 2hollis. The track is released on 2hollis’ official YouTube channel, written and produced by 2hollis, and is part of the album star, offering listeners an introspective and chaotic dive into fame, paranoia, and self-identity. With raw, stream-of-consciousness lyricism and glitchy, emotionally charged production, the track exposes the turbulence that comes with being seen, watched, and scrutinized in the digital age.
tell me is a sonic unraveling of anxiety in the face of fame and hyper-visibility. 2hollis uses repetition, fragmented thoughts, and vivid imagery to capture the claustrophobic experience of constantly being observed—both in reality and within the artist’s own mind. Themes of ego, mistrust, disassociation, and isolation echo throughout the lyrics, as the artist searches for clarity in a world blurred by attention and self-doubt. The repetition of “tell me” becomes both a plea and a breakdown, symbolizing a desperate need for validation and escape.

tell me Lyrics
[Intro]
(Hey) Are they lookin’ at me?
Tell me, are they lookin’ at me?
Tell me, are they lookin’? I can see they see I’m lookin’
Tryna see if they been lookin’ at me, so, so sick and awake
[Chorus]
I’ve been lookin’ my name up, in my— in my head
“Holli, oh my God, you’re famous,” scared of— scared of death
Uh, I’m scared of press, ’cause then I read more
I’m scared of death, that’s why I’m tryna know if they been lookin’ at me (Whoa)
Just tell me, are they lookin’ at me? So, so sick and awake
Tell me, are they lookin’ at me? (At me)
Can you tell me? Are they lookin’ at me?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, yeah
[Verse]
VPN on, black tape on the front cam (Shh)
Everybody I don’t know tryna know me, these days I don’t even know who I am
Shorty on the table, spread eagle, tryna do somethin’ for me, would she do it for another man?
Other man, promise you won’t do it for another man
Make an M dance, make a—
Make an M dance, every time I hit it, “Amen”
My ego, try take it for a dance, ego run and try to catch these hands
Ego tryna flex on heads, ego kickin’ out my friends
Only got a couple real, real friends, only got a couple real, real friends
Only got a couple real, real friends, only got a couple real, real friends
I been havin’ real, real sex and I been shakin’ fake, fake hands
[Chorus]
I’ve been lookin’ my name up, in my— in my head
“Holli, oh my God, you’re famous,” scared of— scared of death
Uh, I’m scared of press, ’cause then I read more
I’m scared of death, that’s why I’m tryna know if they been lookin’ at me (Whoa)
Just tell me, are they lookin’ at me? So, so sick and awake
Tell me, are they lookin’ at me? (At me)

tell me Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
The intro plunges listeners straight into 2hollis’s paranoia. There’s a sense of being hyper-aware, even haunted, by the feeling of being watched. The line “so, so sick and awake” perfectly encapsulates insomnia fueled by overstimulation and anxiety. This opening sets the tone for the mental unraveling that continues throughout the track.
[Chorus]
In the chorus, 2hollis reflects on the intrusive nature of fame, where even personal thoughts become polluted by public perception. The act of searching for one’s own name becomes symbolic of a fractured identity. Fame is presented not as glamor but as fear—fear of scrutiny, mortality, and loss of self. The repeated question, “are they lookin’ at me?” reveals a tortured internal loop, unable to find peace.
[Verse]
The verse takes a darker, more fragmented turn, diving into paranoia and ego clashes. 2hollis mentions hiding identity with tools like a VPN and camera tape, revealing a need to disappear or protect themselves. Lines about casual intimacy and industry-driven facades contrast with the rare mention of “real, real friends,” underscoring a divide between authenticity and performance. The verse ends in chaos—a blend of raw confessions and detachment, emphasizing how fame has warped personal relationships and self-worth.
[Chorus]
The return of the chorus reinforces the obsessive spiral. Now, after the confessional verse, its repetition feels even more desperate. The dual fears of death and being misunderstood intertwine, as 2hollis continues to seek confirmation of whether they’re being seen or simply unraveling alone.
[Build]
This section is an emotional crescendo, with the relentless repetition of “tell me” mimicking a mental breakdown. It’s a cry for understanding, for release, for clarity. As the repetition builds, the chaos deepens, eventually introducing new questions like “How the fuck we get out?”—a powerful reflection on feeling trapped by circumstances, fame, or internal demons.
[Drop]
The drop is a sonic release. With only the phrase “get out” repeated, it serves as a minimal yet explosive climax, expressing the overwhelming desire to escape. After the emotionally charged build-up, this section distills all the anxiety into a single directive: leave, flee, break free.
[Outro]
In the outro, 2hollis circles back to the haunting refrain of being watched. The repetition of “tell me” continues, now paired with imagery of being searched online. The phrase “so sick and awake” returns, closing the song with the same exhausted, restless energy it began with. It leaves the listener suspended in the artist’s mental state—wide awake, hyper-aware, and spiraling.
