The Call
A Rainmaker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Call
I've been waiting for you down the road But only few memories came
It's hard to choose a way in that confusion Cause all directions look the same
There're so many hard days I went through So many nights I did not rest
But now I feel only a breeze can sweep me And I could say I tried my best
Don't be sorry
Run and shout, lady
Last night you were kind of phony
Stay you way
Take it easy
Rise and shine, lady
Watch it move all around a new ground that Set you free
Couldn't drag on the edge of the hill Dark and suffocating air
Touching all the silver lined horizon But I met vanity fair
There's always a fire inside me Consuming the reason that i lost Come back home on stretched road Fly away as a ghost
Oh my




Can't you see this world is insane? It's up to me
There's no one else I can blame

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of A Rainmaker's song The Call are full of introspection and reflection. The singer seems to have been waiting for someone down the road with the hope to remember the good times together but the memories that come back are not enough to make a clear decision. The confusion is deep, the directions are all blurred and the path to follow is hard to choose. The person has gone through countless difficult days and restless nights, but now only a breeze is needed to move forward and say "I tried my best".


The second stanza encourages to not be sorry and to run and shout, but it also reveals that the singer had been acting phony the night before. The final part of the song speaks about the feeling of being suffocated and trapped in a dark place, looking for the horizon that seems to be unreachable. The song ends with a final realization that the world is insane and that there is no one else to blame but oneself. The lyrics of The Call express the inner struggles of a person not only looking for the right path in life but also trying to cope with past mistakes and disappointments.
