"Show & Tell" is a metaphor for feeling overwhelmed and disrespected by people in her life. The lyrics describe a strained relationship where her partner says cruel words and treats her without respect and care. In the chorus, Martinez is imploring them to actually show and tell—that is, to display their love and care in real ways instead of just saying hurtful things. Throughout the song, Martinez also speaks of her vulnerability: how she is exposed and feels overwhelmed by the mix of emotions and neglect she is receiving. In the end, she emphasizes that unless people actually prove their love and put in the effort of showing it, their words will not be enough. The song is a call for appreciation, respect and a reminder that human connection trumps all.
