2. Anghel Georgian Bogdan (n. 20 mai 1996, Berceni, București, România) este un cântăreț de muzică trap cunoscut sub numele de scenă Ian. A început să facă muzică de la vârsta de 13 ani prin producția de beat-uri de muzică electronică, dubstep și minimale.

La începutul carierei muzicale l-a cunoscut printr-un prieten comun (Bengales, alături de care Ian a cântat pe „Colectez”) pe Azteca, cu care urma să înființeze Ocult Records, casa de discuri ce a reprezentat platforma de lansare a lui Ian prin piese ca „Bag Un Blunt”, „60 De Zile” sau „Mili”.

În prezent artistul se asociază cu propriul label, New World Order.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took off the blinders and my love is really
Pouring out of my hands
Not anyone in particular
Just more for me and myself and I
Starting to find a way out of this
Black hole I've been digging myself into
Ever since I had met you (oh)
Lost in love and all your vixen
I'm sorry not so sorry it's okay
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
It's just that sometimes
Sometimes I miss who I used to be
The pain tattooed on my healing heart
My mind consumed in self massacre
I'm tired, but I fight (ooh)
From time to time it gets difficult (ah)
Wishing my love was still ignorant but
I'll see with both eyes
We slow danced under burning roofs
Until the sickness overgrew
No time to stop and wait another day
(My well running dry)
I'm thankful now for what I am
I'm not tied down to Instagram
But loneliness still tugs on me all night
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
It's just that sometimes
Sometimes I miss who I used to be
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
It's just that sometimes
Sometimes I miss who I used to be
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Take me back I don't want a heart attack
Take me back
Woah
Don't get me wrong (yeah)
Don't get me wrong (Don't get me wrong)
It's just that sometimes (sometimes)
Sometimes I miss who I used to be
(Sometimes I miss who I used to be)
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong (Don't get me wrong)
It's just that sometimes (sometimes)
Sometimes I miss who I used to be
(sometimes I miss who I used to be)
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong (don't get me wrong)
Sometimes (don't get me wrong)
Sometimes I miss who I used to be
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
It's just that sometimes (sometimes)
Sometimes I miss who I used to be
Don't get me wrong
It's just that sometimes
Sometimes I miss being 23
And all the things that you meant to me
And all of those make believes
And all that I couldn't see
Hidden in front of me (yeah)
The lyrics to Ian's song "Don't Call Me" can be interpreted as a reflection on personal growth and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The singer admits to being lost in love and playing the victim, but has taken off the blinders and is now starting to find a way out of their self-destructive pattern. The pain of heartbreak is still evident, as evidenced by the "pain tattooed on my healing heart" and the reference to being "consumed in self-massacre." However, the singer is also grateful for their newfound maturity, saying "I'm thankful now for what I am."
Despite the title of the song, the lyrics do not seem to be aimed at a specific person who is calling the singer. Rather, they are simply expressing their own thoughts and feelings about their past and present selves. The repeated refrain of "sometimes I miss who I used to be" emphasizes this point, suggesting that the singer is grappling with conflicting emotions about their personal growth.
Overall, "Don't Call Me" is a poignant reflection on the difficulty of moving on from the past and the ongoing struggle to find oneself.
