Call Me Up
IV4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floating in a silver lining, maybe it's a dream
Break it down, I feel it
Calling, I need it
Face to face, now I see it
Hand in hand, yes I love it
Break my walls, give it to me
Hand in hand, yes I love it
Break my walls, give it to me
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Hold me back I see the future calling
Fight the truth that made me all I
Was this just the fear of falling
Down the rabbit hole so low
Back I see the future calling
Fight the truth that made me all I
Was this just the fear of falling
Down the rabbit hole so low
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
Calling me up again
I believe I'll be enough for you
The lyrics to IV4's song "Call Me Up" express the feeling of being distant from someone and longing to be with them. The first verse describes a feeling of being detached, floating in a silver lining, unsure if it is reality or just a dream. The chorus repeats the phrase "calling me up again," indicating that this person has reached out before and the singer believes that they will be enough for them. There is a yearning to be close, "face to face," and the idea that breaking down walls is necessary to achieve this closeness.
The second verse adds more imagery to this desire, with the singer seeing "the future calling" and fighting against "the truth that made me all I was." The idea of falling down the "rabbit hole" suggests a fear of something unknown. However, the chorus repeats, affirming the belief that the singer will be enough for the person calling them up.
Overall, the song expresses a common human desire to be connected with someone else and how that connection can feel like a dream or an uncertain reality.
