What's the meaning of 届けて


Can I ask a favour?

I am trying to catch on the meaning of the [song
涙をとどけて](http://j-lyric.net/artist/a0036f2/l00db27.html). I have caught
everything except for the following 4 lines, which remain vague for me.

> 涙をとどけて 本当のこと
>
> 想いをとどけて 言えないこと
>
> 言葉にできない
>
> 明日をとどけて

思いが届く means "hopes get realized".

涙をとどける means "to excite tears".

涙をとどけて 本当のこと means "truth causes tears"? Am I right?

明日をとどけて means "tommorow will come" (???)

What does the `-て` form mean in this context?

I can't manage. Can you help?




The intransitive verb 届く ( _to reach_ ) and the transitive verb 届ける ( _to
convey_ , _to deliver_ ) are usually used with tangible objects such as
letters. But it's also frequently used with words representing feelings.

>   * 感謝の気持ちを届ける convey the feelings of gratitude
>
>   * [君に届け](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimi_ni_Todoke) Let (It) Reach You
>
>

The second example is the title of a manga, and people can easily guess that
this title actually means "let my love reach you" or something.

Now, 涙を届けて (literally "please deliver tears") is not an established idiomatic
phrase. Obviously it's a metaphor, and the actual meaning could be ambiguous.
It probably means something like "please notice/feel my sorrow". Those [て-form
verbs express requests](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/13003/5010). The
following 本当のこと (truth) is grammatically not strongly connected with 涙を届けて, so
it would be enough to interpret it as "that (my sorrow) is the truth".

想いを届けて 言えないこと / 言葉にできない (literally "please deliver my feelings, something that
can't be said, can't be worded"): So he wants to share his feelings with
someone, but he has difficulty in doing so.

明日を届けて (literally "please deliver a tomorrow") is even more ambiguous and
poetic, but under this context I think it means "give me a tomorrow" or "may
tomorrow come".
