In The Morning
Cal in Red Lyrics

The lyrics to "In the Morning" by Cal in Red convey a sense of longing, loss, and reflection. The opening line, "Oh, bet it's rough, but where you're going has had enough," suggests that the person being addressed is facing a difficult situation or challenge. However, the next line implies that the destination or goal they are pursuing has already reached its saturation point, meaning that it may not bring them the fulfillment or happiness they anticipate.

The following lines, "Don't let me wait, 'cause in the morning, it's too late," express a sense of urgency and the fear of missing out on something important. The singer doesn't want to be left waiting and hopes that the intended recipient of the message will act before it's too late in the morning, suggesting that opportunities may be fleeting and time-sensitive.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of someone who is no longer present, as indicated by the lines, "I walk by, you're not there, thinkin' you could disappear." This hints at a sense of loss or abandonment, and the singer still holds onto memories of what the person used to be. However, the line "Now nobody wants it, it's too late" implies that the past version of this person is no longer desired or valued by others, further amplifying the feeling of longing and nostalgia.

The chorus poses a question to the person addressed, asking, "Hey, what's it like to keep from talking about your night?" It suggests that this person may be guarded or unwilling to share their experiences, perhaps hiding pain or secrets. The singer acknowledges their own efforts to try their best and suppress their own emotions until the morning, suggesting a desire to appear stronger or more composed. They recognize that in the morning, they will be less affected or impacted by the situation at hand.

Overall, "In the Morning" captures the emotions of longing, missed opportunities, and the bittersweet nature of memories that have begun to fade.
