Call Me When Youre Sober
Evanescence渀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind
Should I let you fall, lose it all
So maybe you can remember yourself?
Can't keep believing
And I'm sick of the lie
And you're too late
Don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind
Couldn't take the blame, sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game, selfishly hated
No wonder you're jaded
You can't play the victim this time
And you're too late
Don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind
You never call me when you're sober
You only want it 'cause it's over, it's over
How could I have burned paradise?
How could I?
You were never mine!
So don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
Don't lie to me, just get your things
I've made up your mind!
"Evanescence- Call Me When You're Sober" is a song that speaks to the pain of a broken relationship, and the struggle of the singer to come to terms with the situation. The lyrics start by setting the tone for the song, as the singer tells their ex-lover not to come crying to them if they truly loved them, as they would still be together. The back and forth of the chorus is a plea from the singer to their ex to make up their mind and decide if they truly want to be together, or if they should let go and move on.
The second verse is a more direct attack on the ex, as the singer questions their motives and their actions. They accuse the ex of being selfish and playing games, leading to their own downfall. The chorus repeats again, with the singer reiterating that the ex needs to make a decision. The bridge of the song features an introspective moment, where the singer questions their own actions and how they may have contributed to the downfall of the relationship. However, they quickly turn the blame back to the ex, declaring them as never being theirs.

"Don't lie to me, just get your things. I've made up your mind". Such powerful lyrics and truly amazing song. You don't fully understand it when you're young, but it just evolves and hits differently when listening when you're older. Truly a rock classic, i thank you Amy and Evanescence for this masterpiece.

It also shows empowerment. "I've made up your mind" after THREE choruses in which she pleads him to "make up your mind".
The narrator is truly fed up and finally makes up his mind for him. Truly intelligent writing.
