Late Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you do call me?
When you know i'm sleep?
In these lyrics, the singer is frustrated with someone who continuously calls them late at night even though they know the singer is asleep. The repetition of the word "late" can have a dual meaning, referring to both the time of the phone call and potentially the state of their relationship. One interpretation is that the person calling is reaching out solely out of convenience rather than genuine concern for the singer. Alternatively, the singer could be upset with their current situation with this person, possibly feeling like the relationship is also "late" or untimely.
The scene Late paints in these lyrics shows a dynamic in which the singer feels disrespected and powerless, being contacted at times that do not meet their needs. Looking deeper, these lyrics could also express the singer's deeper desire for a mutually respectful relationship, indicating that they would prefer to receive calls at appropriate times so that the relationship can thrive.
