i just woke up but no one knows
i'll stay in bed
i'll go in late
i'll take the chance or make other plans
i'll pay the rent and ditch the phone
i won't be home
i'm still the same
i will not change
i'll never be more than you see
but if you need something,
please call me
the mail is in and the lights are out
i'm in the dark but i see your doubt
the stove is on 'cause the heater's not
there's water in here but the plants are gone
i'll pay the rest but fuck the phone
i won't be home
i'm still the same
i will not change
i'll never be more than you see
but if you need something,
please call me
The song "Call Me" by Arthur Yoria is about a person who is feeling alone and disconnected from the world around him. The singer wakes up and realizes that he is alone without anyone knowing it. He decides to stay in bed and go into work late, either taking the chance or making other plans. The singer will pay the rent but will not be home because he does not want to be alone in his apartment. He is still the same person and will not change, but if someone needs him, they can call him.
The lyrics of the song are an expression of the singer's feelings of isolation and detachment. He may be going through a tough time or feeling lost and disconnected, and he is in search of someone or something to connect with. The lines "I'm still the same, I will not change" suggest that the singer may be stuck in a rut or unable to move forward, and this is why he cannot be more than what others see of him. However, he is still open to being there for someone who needs him, as indicated by the line "But if you need something, please call me."
