Call
Flower Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the sky might be the light to your heart
And when you tell me how much you love
I can't even think straight
I can't even think straight
When I'm laying down and the phone rings
I can't even check anymore if it's your name
Because when you told me how much you hurt
Your eyes in the sun are staring into mine
I can't even walk through the line without demise in my mind
Because you showed me how much you hurt
And when I saw you it felt like a blur
The song "Call" by the Japanese band Flower is a reflection of the pain and longing felt by the singer for a lost lover. In the first verse, the singer describes the happy moments she shared with her lover but regrets how things turned sour and they started drifting apart. She reminisces about the times they had a fight and refused to see eye to eye, and how they eventually parted ways, leaving her to spend sleepless nights holding her cell phone, hoping to hear his voice again. She metaphorically expresses how impossible it is to hold onto memories by saying, "no matter how hard I try, I can't hold onto any words."
The second verse takes a more somber tone, as the singer discovers that her friend has mentioned her ex-lover to her, and it stirs up feelings of regret and sadness. She wishes she had been more honest with him, expressing her love more openly and straightforwardly, and she laments the fact that they never got the chance to say goodbye properly. She acknowledges that both of them were wounded by the relationship, but instead of harboring grudges, she wants to remember the happy times and the love they had shared.
The chorus, "miss you," four times in a row, punctuates the sorrowful emotions expressed throughout the song. The repetitive nature of the phrase emphasizes the pain that never goes away, and the final line, "never let go," hints that the singer will carry these feelings with her forever.
