The Calling
7 Days Away Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You push me, you test me, just take it all away
I always find myself underneath
YOUR SKIN!

I drown myself in tears from the anger and agony
The picture's clear that you got the best of me
It kills us all to stand alone
Closing walls im on my own
Slept so long...

But i'll wait for the calling I struggle with you
Im done with the crawling and i can see through
Your eyes, and all of your pain's revealing
Your lies, My wounds at last are healing

One last kiss goodbye i finally cut the strings
Take your time to let all your sorrow bleed
If you fall you'll fall alone
Take it all this is your show
The flame is gone

But i'll wait for the calling i've struggled with you
Im done with the crawling and i can see through
Your eyes, and all of your pain's revealing
Your lies, My wounds at last are healing

Your falling, the calling, is not so far away
You always find yourself underneath
You push me, you test me, just take it all away
I always find myself underneath

But i'll wait, for the calling, I've struggled with you
I'm done with the crawling, and i can see through




Your eyes and all of your fake
Your lies, the calling awaits

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Calling" by 7 Days Away delve into themes of emotional turmoil, pain, and struggle. The singer of the song is dealing with someone who "pushes" and "tests" them, leaving them feeling vulnerable and exposed, like they are "underneath [their] skin." They express their frustration and anger through tears, feeling like the other person has "won" in some way. However, they also express a sense of hope, waiting for "the calling" and striving to break free from the cycle, to no longer "crawl" but instead see through the other person's lies and heal their own wounds. The song ends with a sense of finality, as the singer severs the ties and allows the other person to deal with their own sorrow alone.


The lyrics of "The Calling" reveal the emotional depth and complexity of the human experience, often characterized by conflict and pain. Additionally, the use of metaphors and imagery, such as being "underneath [the other person's] skin" and "waiting for the calling," enhances the impact and meaning of the song.

Lyrics:

You push me, you test me, just take it all away
I always find myself underneath
YOUR SKIN!

I drown myself in tears from the anger and agony
The picture's clear that you got the best of me
It kills us all to stand alone
Closing walls I’m on my own
Slept so long...

But I’ll wait for the calling, I struggle with you
I’m done with the crawling and I can see through
Your eyes, and all of your pain's revealing
Your lies, My wounds at last are healing

One last kiss goodbye I finally cut the strings
Take your time to let all your sorrow bleed
If you fall you'll fall alone
Take it all this is your show
The flame is gone

But I’ll wait for the calling, I’ve struggled with you
I’m done with the crawling and I can see through
Your eyes, and all of your pain's revealing
Your lies, My wounds at last are healing

You’re falling, the calling, is not so far away
You always find yourself underneath
You push me, you test me, just take it all away
I always find myself underneath

But I’ll wait, for the calling, I've struggled with you
I'm done with the crawling, and I can see through
Your eyes and all of your fake
Your lies, the calling awaits

Story Of The Year - Antidote; Blue Stahli - Corner; WAKE UP, DO SOMETHING - HELP HUMANITY, aight? Go out and dont stop going until your last breath, this world is falling to pieces already. Don't break down, they can't hurt you for real if you let them damage your soul only.

You have been called to the stage, its showtime! Don't joke around and be a fool. If you do you are a pathetic apathy slave. Stand for something beside your own friends and family.


This shit ain't gonna save it self, you are needed.

I grew up with these guys at the time this song was recorded originally. My brother was a part of them back when they were just in a garage. I'm proud and glad Jay made something out of this band considering the shithole town we all grew up in!
