Calling
You hear the
Calling

Let me go
Gravity
What's on my shoulder?
"Little by little, I feel a bit better"

Let me know
Set me free
I feel a bit older
Just once more unto the breach
"Dear friend, once more"

Wake up
Leave your hesitation
Wake up
Time for us to realize
Wake up
Show appreciation
Wake up
Time for us to realize

Calling
Someone is
Calling

Wait and see
Empathy
You're not the only one
"Little by little you'll feel a bit better"

Lucky me
Destiny
You are on my side




Just once more unto the breach
"Dear friend, once more"

Overall Meaning

The song "Calling" by Japanese musician 石元 丈晴 is an uplifting and motivating track with lyrics that encourage listeners to wake up, leave their hesitation behind, and answer the calling that they hear. The song is about taking charge of one's life and rising above their fears and doubts to become a better version of themselves.


The opening line, "You hear the calling," sets the tone for the song and serves as a reminder that we all have a purpose and that we need to listen to our inner voice to find it. The chorus repeats the word "wake up," which is essentially telling the listener to stop wasting time and start living their lives to the fullest. The line, "What's on my shoulder?" might suggest that the singer, the listener, is being weighed down by something, but then, "little by little, I feel a bit better." This suggests that the singer is gradually overcoming whatever it is that's dragging them down, and they're starting to feel better overall.


The second verse begins with "Wait and see," which implies that there's still hope for the listener, and they haven't missed their chance yet to achieve their dreams. The line "Empathy, you're not the only one," could suggest that others are going through the same struggles, and that we're all in this together. The chorus repeats, and the second line, "Time for us to realize," could mean that it's time for us to wake up and become aware of our potential, our strengths, and our abilities.


Overall, the song is about finding one's calling, taking action, and not letting anything hold us back. The lyrics are motivational and optimistic, and the catchy melody and upbeat rhythm add to the overall positive vibe of the song.
