Monster Magnet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm Calling You
Can you explain what you wanna do?
How was your day?
How was your day?
Did you think of me, because I thought of you
Well, we sure picked a crazy way
I'm living your night and you my day
The world is dead
What crazy shit is inside your head?
Why can't we play?
Why can't we play?
Your thoughts get dark when you're far away
And no, I won't get out of bed
If you keep hauling out your dead
I watch you frown and I watch you shake
And baby, that's all I can take
What kind of monsters have we made?
Our minds have blackened out the sun
We must remember what is real
Oh, please, let's have our love again
What kind of monsters have we made?
Our minds have blackened out the sun
We must remember what is real
Oh, please, let's have our love again
The world is dead
The world is dead
What crazy shit is inside your head?
Why can't we play?
Why can't we play?
Our thoughts get dark when you're far away
The song "I'm Calling You" by Monster Magnet is a song about a couple who are separated and struggling to cope with their thoughts and emotions. The track begins with the singer calling out to their partner, asking how their day was and expressing their feelings towards them. However, the couple seems to be struggling to communicate effectively, as they have "picked a crazy way" to live their lives - with one partner living at night and the other living during the day.
Throughout the song, the singer questions the state of their relationship and the "crazy shit" that may be going on in their partner's head. The couple's thoughts often turn dark when they are apart, and the singer struggles to cope with their partner's mood swings. The lyrics convey a sense of despair and hopelessness, as the couple's relationship seems to be falling apart due to their inability to communicate and connect with each other.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "What kind of monsters have we made?" several times, suggesting that the dark thoughts and emotions that the couple is experiencing have turned them into something monstrous. The singer expresses their desire to remember what is real and to have their love again, implying that they are willing to work on their relationship despite the challenges they face.
