This Calling
All That Remains Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still feel it pressing on me now
Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening
I steel my nerves for temptations at hand again
And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling out
No secrets deception for these would tear this down
I'll note the past spare the pain
Words match my deeds with brutal honesty
Never forget these choices were made by me
And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling out
Not falling victim to the fire that burns inside of me
Though I am fearful I can not prevent this tragedy
My strengths been tested I wear the scars that prove
Still I believe that this calling will see me through
And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling out
My strengths been tested I wear the scars that prove
Still I believe that this calling will see me through.
The lyrics to All That Remains's song This Calling delve into the idea of succumbing to temptation and the internal conflict that arises from it. The opening lines suggest a craving for something that is both enticing and dangerous, something that the singer has experienced before and is experiencing again now. The onset of this feeling weakens their resolve, but they try to stay strong in the face of temptation.
The chorus speaks to the idea of a calling, which could be interpreted as the temptation itself, or perhaps a higher purpose or destiny that the singer feels they are meant to fulfill. Despite the fear and uncertainty that they feel, the calling still feels close and attainable to the singer.
The second verse emphasizes the importance of honesty and taking responsibility for one's past choices. The singer acknowledges the pain that may come with confronting the truth about their actions, but still believes it is necessary. The repeated "I hear this calling" in the chorus becomes almost like a statement of determination, a reminder to stay on the right path even when it is difficult.
Overall, the lyrics of This Calling speak to anyone who has struggled with temptation and the sometimes-difficult process of making the right choice. The idea of a calling or purpose adds an interesting layer of meaning to the song, suggesting that even our darkest moments can be part of a greater plan.

Eu almejei secretamente, desejei aquele perfume novamente
Ainda sinto isso me prensando agora
Agora com o ataque, minha carne está enfraquecendo
Eu endureci meus nervos nas mãos por tentação novamente
E eu ainda ouço esse chamado você não parece tão distante de tudo
E eu ouço o chamado de fora
Nenhum segredo, decepção por aquela possível lágrima que caiu
Eu notarei o passado poupando a dor
palavras marcam minhas proezas com brutal honestidade
nunca esqueça que aquelas escolhas foram feitas por mim
E eu ainda ouço esse chamado você não parece tão distante de tudo
E eu ouço o chamado de fora
Caindo vitima do fogo que incendeia dentro de mim
Ainda estou medroso eu não posso prevenir esta tragédia
Minhas forças estão sendo testadas Eu usei as marcas que experimentei
Eu ainda acredito que este chamado ainda me verá
E eu ainda ouço esse chamado você não parece tão distante de tudo
E eu ouço o chamado de fora
Minhas forças estão sendo testadas Eu usei as marcas que experimentei
Eu ainda acredito que este chamado ainda me verá.................
@MichaelPsyche
Fucking epic. One of the greatest Metalcore songs of all time.
@clintbeasthood9758
@DRAG the SERG Metalcore is a subgenre of Metal.
And, this song, and pretty much the entire album is definitely Metalcore.
@mykl_the_great
Yeah this album and Sempiternal are my favorite metalcore albums ever. So damn hard hitting and heavy
@muhammadrofie2683
@StabberOfKids yeah damn true
@maxwell9561
I'd call it deathcore tbh, These types of vocals are drum beats aren't really a metalcore thing
@mykl_the_great
@Maxwell Anonymous You're right about the drums, but no other aspects of this band seem "deathcore" to me. I admit I am likely more used to heavier music, and that might be why, but a real deathcore band is something like Architects.
@zachfancher1850
This whole Album is the gold standard of 2000’s Metalcore

Целиком с Вами согласен.
@HDSpuerstar
I would say that's Parkway Drive's first 3 albums but yeah, The Fall of Ideals is, as of today, still one of the very bests metalcore albums of all times, and this piece right here one of the major bangers from it if not THE major banger.
