Call Me
Brisa Roché Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call when you're waking
Call me with your blue eyes
Call me with your brown eyes
Call me in the wet hills
Call me from the fast car
Call from the slow car
The country's exploding like dynamite
I've read everyone of your books
A tempest blows and the tracker
And his hound have been giving us looks
Call me with your green eyes
Call with your hazel eyes
Call me with your pale mouth
Call me with your red mouth
Call me in the soft sky
Call in the rough sky
Call me from the tall wave
Call me from the low wave
The country's exploding like dynamite
I've read everyone of your books
A tempest blows and the tracker
And hound are giving us looks
The country's exploding like dynamite
I've read all your books
A tempest blows and the tracker
And his hound are giving us looks
Call me, call me...
In "Call Me," Brisa Roché seems to be longing for a connection with someone, asking them to call her in various situations and with different features. She wants to be reached "when you're dreaming" and "when you're waking," suggesting that she wants to be with this person in both their conscious and subconscious states. The repeated refrain of "Call me" emphasizes her desire to be contacted because she may feel lonely or isolated, which hints at a deeper longing for human connection. The different eye colors and mouth colors suggest that she wants to be reached in any mood or disposition. Furthermore, she wants to be called from different physical locations, such as "the wet hills," "the fast car," "the slow car," "the soft sky," "the rough sky," "the tall wave," and "the low wave." These different locations suggest a sense of restlessness and a yearning to hear from this person regardless of where she or they may be.
In the second half of the song, the mood shifts, and the line "The country's exploding like dynamite" evokes a sense of chaos, danger, and perhaps political strife. Roché then sings, "I've read everyone of your books," which could suggest that she is interested in this person's ideas about the state of the world. The line "A tempest blows and the tracker and his hound have been giving us looks" further builds on this sense of danger, implying that there are those who are watching and potentially threatening them. The repetition of the line, "The country's exploding like dynamite," emphasizes the urgency and danger of the situation.
Overall, "Call Me" is a song about longing for connection and seeking refuge in a chaotic world. Roché's use of imagery and repetition creates a sense of restlessness and urgency and highlights the singer's desire for a human connection. The reference to danger and political strife suggests that the longing for connection may be related to a need for solidarity in the face of wider societal problems.
