Call 911
Florrie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotta go, I've blown another name
(She's on the run)

We're gonna get on your bike
All the girls they wanna take a ride
Never one to wanna compromise
I'm the chase and you're my FBI
Not gonna get you off your head
Don't you wanna take a ride instead?
Just remember every word I said
Baby, blow it, bang bang you're dead

Are you ticking down the line like a time bomb?
Are you picking up the pace, got your face on?
Are you making my escape, get away from?
Are you calling in the chase, wanna race some?

I crack the code
Are you watching me, baby, lose control?
I'm running that, gonna go crazy
Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get, gotta get
Gotta go home, home

Gotta go, I've blown another name
Boy, take a seat, let me explain
Don't break the chain
Come get your beat back in the game
Gotta put my foot down, switching lanes
Sensation pumping through my veins
Let's go again
I got your back so let it rain

Gotta go, I've blown another name
Boy, take a seat, let me explain
Don't break the chain
Come get your beat back in the game
Gotta put my foot down, switching lanes
Sensation pumping through my veins
Let's go again
I got your back so let it rain

Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run

I'll meet you on a Friday night
Play the game, we're gonna keep this tight
Listen up, we'll get 'em on your side
Reel it in, then, baby, then you play it back
Undercover, keep your head
Kinda like a bit of infra-red
Just remember, no, you won't forget
Baby, blow it, bang bang you're dead

Are you ticking down the line like a time bomb?
Are you picking up the pace, got your face on?
Are you making my escape, get away from?
Are you calling in the chase, wanna race some?

I crack the code
Are you watching me, baby, lose control?
I'm running that, gonna go crazy
Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get, gotta get
Gotta go home, home

Gotta go, I've blown another name
Boy, take a seat, let me explain
Don't break the chain
Come get your beat back in the game
Gotta put my foot down, switching lanes
Sensation pumping through my veins
Let's go again
I got your back so let it rain

Gotta go, I've blown another name
Boy, take a seat, let me explain
Don't break the chain
Come get your beat back in the game
Gotta put my foot down, switching lanes
Sensation pumping through my veins
Let's go again
I got your back so let it rain

Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run
Call 911, she's on the run

You're playing with fire
This love, love, was running from the start
For love, desire
This love, love, let it break my heart
This love, love, let it break my heart

Are you ticking down the line like a time bomb?

Overall Meaning

In the song “Call 911” by Florrie, the lyrics detail a high-speed chase and the desire to escape from the current situation. The song is about someone who’s trying to escape from a situation they’ve found themselves in, specifically the consequences of their actions. They feel a rush and are trying to outrun their mistakes. They are searching for that one person they can trust and lean on like an FBI agent, someone who will have their back no matter the circumstances. It's a love story set amidst an action movie where the girl is running from the law and the boy is her getaway driver. The line "Call 911, she's on the run" is about bad things happening to someone when they’re on the edge, and the person is calling for help.


The chorus, "Are you ticking down the line like a time bomb?" is a metaphorical representation of being under pressure to make quick decisions because time is running out. The song employs cryptic imagery and themes of danger, excitement, and love, which blends well with the pop-rock production style of the music. The repeated chorus of "Call 911" echoes the sense that the singer has found themselves into a dangerous and urgent situation.

this song popped into my head this week after hearing someone say "call 911" on a tv show. i used to listen to this song nonstop in college. walking to class, studying, doing laundry - what a nostalgia bomb. obviously it's so common now, but the late aughts and early 2010s were a really exciting time to discover music that was purely released on the internet. i tried to find it on spotify and found the fred falkan remix but for some reason couldn't figure out why it sounded different from what i remembered. now i'm realizing that it's the florrie remix that i first fell in love with. it's a killer track, and like Celeste mentioned below, it really should have blown up more. i never listened to anything she released afterwards (school took up a lot of my time) so i'm excited to go back and listen!

florriemusic

I've got a new track coming out this Friday which you might find interesting!

Los libros de Marcela

I need this to be on Spotify like right now 🖤🖤

this song always made me feel a specific kind of way. Like I remember listening to it as a teenager, and I was fantasising having a best friend and we would get into all sorts of drama with boyfriends and school and whatever. The lyrics have nothing to do with this but the melody really kinda made me feel like a wasp teenager.
