Final Call
Dikta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As we float up above
We can finally let go
There is no one around

In the light of the Lord
It just seems much brighter
It's not the same on the ground

Final call for last mistakes
Final call for pulling brakes
Final call for us

Checking in and checking out
Checking in, filled with doubt
Checking out with you

I can't believe this is happening
I have so much undone
Broken bones, broken promises

Can you hear me, can you hear me?
I think I am losing control
Being pulled to the ground

Final call for last mistakes
Final call for pulling brakes
Final call for us

Checking in and checking out
Checking in, filled with doubt
Checking out with you

My final, my final
My final inferno

My final, my final
My final inferno

Final call for last mistakes
Final call for pulling brakes
Final call for us

Checking in and checking out
Checking in, filled with doubt
Checking out with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dikta's song Final Call describe a sense of release and surrender as the singer's physical body floats above the ground. As they rise towards the light of the Lord, the world below seems less significant. The first verse provides a sense of liberation as they are finally able to let go of something or someone they are holding onto. The second verse moves towards a sense of finality, as the singer acknowledges their past mistakes and the broken promises that remain unfinished. The chorus reiterates the call towards a final reckoning, as they are forced to confront the consequences of their actions.

The use of the phrase "checking in and checking out" in the verses suggests an inherent tension and instability that is present in the singer's life. This creates a sense of unease that is further emphasized by the repetition of the phrase "my final inferno" in the final chorus. The overall tone of the lyrics is one of uncertainty and apprehension, as the singer seems to be standing at a crossroads and unsure of their next step.

Line by Line Meaning

As we float up above
We are rising up, away from the ground

We can finally let go
We can release all our burdens and worries

There is no one around
We are alone in this moment

In the light of the Lord
Bathed in divine light

It just seems much brighter
The world appears clearer and more brilliant

It's not the same on the ground
The mundane world can cloud our perception

Final call for last mistakes
This is the last chance to correct our past errors

Final call for pulling brakes
Now is the time to stop and reassess our lives

Final call for us
A final chance to make things right

Checking in and checking out
Reflecting on our lives as we enter and leave

Checking in, filled with doubt
Entering with uncertainty and hesitation
