Call Your Name
Hiroyuki Sawano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She lost her brother a month ago
His picture on the wall
And it reminds me
When she brings me coffee,,, her smile
I Wish i could be with her until my last day

She said she gave all her love to me
we dreamt a new life
Some place to be at peace
But things changed,,, Suddenly
I lost my dreams in this disaster

I'm crying
Missing my lover
I don't have the power
On my side forever

Oh where is my lover
And I got no power
I'm standing alone, calling
Calling out your name

I said i gave all my love to you
We dreamt a new house
Some place to be at peace
But things changed,,, Suddenly
I lost my dreams in this disaster

We don't know what is wrong tonight
Everybody's got no place to hide
No one's left and there's no one to go on
All i know is my life is gone

I'm crying
Missing my lover
I don't have the power
On my side forever

Oh where is my lover
And I got no power




I'm standing alone, calling
Calling out your name

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hiroyuki Sawano's song Call your name express the intense feelings of loss, grief, and confusion experienced by a couple who have lost their loved ones in some kind of disaster. The first verse talks about the female protagonist who lost her brother a month ago, and the memory of him is still fresh in her mind as his picture hangs on the wall. Despite her sorrow, she still manages to bring coffee to her lover, and her smile gives him some solace. He wishes to be with her until his last day, but he is aware that they have both lost the sense of security they once had.


The song expresses the couple's desire to start anew and find a place of peace where they can build their dreams. However, they are struck by a disaster that abruptly shatters their hopes and dreams. The chorus of the song is a haunting cry for help, as the singer feels powerless and alone. The loss of his lover has left him with a huge emptiness, which he cannot fill with anything else. The second verse of the song mirrors the first one, but this time, it's the male protagonist who speaks. He also dreams of a new house and a peaceful life with his lover, but his dreams are destroyed by the disaster.


The bridge of the song conveys a sense of despair and loneliness. Nobody knows what is wrong tonight, and everybody is looking for a place to hide. The final lines of the song express the ultimate realization that everything has changed, and there's no going back. The lyrics are emotional and tragic, with the song serving to express the intense and raw pain of losing a loved one.

@@algellish340 no, Levi is literally older than them his literally their commander....💀 u can search Levi's and the two Fiancé's aged on S1 on google and the evidence is on attack on titan wiki.... plus the anime is not supposed to be romance in the first place why would they show they're romantic relationship?! 😭 but here's the part were that Petra and Olou were lovers:
Trivia
The Attack on Titan Guidebook includes an imaginary interview with Petra and Oluo that supposedly takes place after they were killed by the Female Titan:[23]
Q: You two came to a very shocking end.
Oluo: I let that Titan win. You don't seem to understand: beating a Titan isn't necessarily the best way to get noticed.
Petra: The Female Titan was a tough enemy, so I can't be surprised at what happened. But if the captain was in that situation...
Oluo: Hah. With the right methods, there's nothing I can't defeat—
Petra: Hey! Are you trying to imitate the captain yet again?!
Oluo: You're the one who followed me, Petra. But don't you think it's a little early to be acting like my wife?
The guidebook also describes Petra's and Oluo's argument as a "lovers' quarrel."
Hajime Isayama has stated that Petra and Oluo were from the same batch of trainees.[24]
