Rarely stationary but always suave, the fleet-footed pair oscillate between their hometown of Buenos Aires, London (where the project was originally formed) and their custom-built studio in Barcelona.
This meandering voyage has allowed the duo to draw upon a vast array of influences; 90s house, 70s funk, soul jazz and R&B all coalesce in rich tapestries of nostalgia-tinged futurism.
Their sleek soundscapes conjure a tech-noir metropolis where downtown pavements bask in a vibrant neon glow. Abc Dialect bridge the gaps between poolside disco, hypnagogic pop and industrial, synth-heavy nocturnes; in this twilight zone of opposing influences, the demure protagonists cruise downtown to the subterranean sake bars, seeking both to reminisce and to forget.
Final Call
Abc Dialect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something that you can′t control
We can spend the night at home
I might not come back
Think I might be out of luck
Cause I've been staying out of touch
We can spend the night at mine
Looking at the starsSo bright, it′s alright
Cause I might not come back
You better believe it girl
Till the dawn
Cause I might not come back
Waiting for the final call
Something that you can't control
We can spend the night at home
I might not come back
Think I might be out of luck
Cause I've been staying out of touch
We can spend the night at mine
Looking at the stars
So bright, it′s alright
Cause I might not come back
You better believe it girl
Till the dawn
Cause I might not come back
Been waiting for so long
For that final call
Girl you know that
Time′s behind us
If you could read my mind
Then you'd know I′ll be fine
Light will guide us
We waited for so long
For that final call
And girl you know that
Time's behind us
If you could read my mind
Then you′d know I'll be fine
Until you see that
Light will guide us
Waiting for the final call (for your call)
Something that you can′t control (can't control)
We can spend the night at home
I might not come back
Think I might be out of luck (out of luck)
Cause I've been staying out of touch (out of touch)
We can spend the night at mine
Looking at the stars (at the stars)
So bright (so bright), it′s alright (it′s alright)
Cause I might not come back (come back)
You better believe it girl
Till the dawn (oh yeah)
Cause I might not come back
Come back... It's alright...
Come back... It′s alright...
The lyrics of Abc Dialect's song "Final Call" explore the feelings of uncertainty and the possibility of not returning. The singer conveys the sense of waiting for the final call, which could represent a deadly or life-changing situation. The lyrics mention a potential loss of control and the idea of being out of touch, possibly because of the fear of missing out or because of personal struggles.

The refrain, "I might not come back, you better believe it girl till the dawn," is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the feeling of impending danger and the possibility of not returning.
