Hear Me Calling
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you hear me calling?
Can't you see I'm falling?
I believe in your heart
Can you believe in me?
Would you try me out one day
I can taste your sweetness
I am out of control
Leave my mind if you don't stay
You decompose my soul
Can't you hear me calling
Longing for a calm
Can't you see I'm falling
Soon I'll come to harm
Can't you feel my yearning
For your charity
Can't you see I'm burning
Till our souls are free
Waiting for an answer
I'm waiting for a sign
I do not understand these feelings
Hope you're feeling fine
Can't you hear me calling
Hear me calling
The lyrics of De/Vision's song "Hear Me Calling" are pleading for someone's attention and affection. The opening lines "Can't you hear me calling? Can't you see I'm falling?" emphasizes the desperation to be noticed and loved. The singer expresses their belief in the other person's heart and longs for them to reciprocate by believing in them as well. They ask for the chance to prove themselves when their "souls are free."
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotions as they describe the way they feel about the other person. They compare the feeling of being with them to sweetness and losing control. However, they acknowledge that if the other person leaves, it feels like they're decomposing the singer's soul. The chorus then reassures the listener that the singer is longing for peace - "longing for a calm" - but is also falling and will soon come to harm.
In the bridge, the singer expresses their yearning for the other person's generosity and their own burning desire for freedom. The song ends with the singer waiting for an answer from the other person while acknowledging that they do not understand their own feelings.
Overall, the lyrics and haunting melody of "Hear Me Calling" create a melancholic and desperate plea for love and attention, perfect for anyone who has felt ignored or unloved.
