Long Distance Call
Licky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the back of the planet is reaching me
Your whispering voice
I hold the line
Receiving the news
Let me be just a part of it
Deafening noise
But i hold the line
But now i count the days to zero
I wish you were here
To look in your eyes
I can't describe the way i feel
Wishing you well
Drop me a line tonight
I wish you were here
I keep it warm
It's such a long time ago
But now i count the days...
Be good to yourself
And don't believe what others say
My heart's beating fast
I hold the line
I ask her advice
Cause there is something to lie about
You get off the phone
But i hold the line
But now i count the days to zero
Don't let me walking through this valley
Cause i can't wait here anymore
Last words of you in my mind
I can't take it anymore

Ich liebe dieses Lied! Es zeigt, was für ein wunderbares Album "Gravity Castle" ist. Herrliche Melodien, tolle Texte und eine Stimme, von der man nicht genug bekommen kann. Und dieses Gitarrenspiel geht ganz tief rein - wie eine zweite Stimme. Schade, dass man das Album bisher nur auf den Unheilig-Konzerten bzw. im FANSATION Sportshop bekommen kann. Danke auch für das tolle Video! Es ist sehr berührend.
