Voice Mail
Original Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Beep)
That was a very loud beep
I don't even know if this is working
Mark, Mark, are you there
Are you screening your calls?, It's mom
And we'll miss you tomorrow
Cindy and the kids are here, send their love
Oh, I hope you like the hot plate
Just don't leave it on dear
When you leave the house, oh and Mark
We're sorry to hear that
Maureen dumped you, I say, 'C'est la vie'
So let her be a lesbian
There are other fishies in the sea
Love mom
The lyrics of Original Cast's "Voice Mail" depict a message left on Mark's answering machine from his mom. The opening of the message conveys the uncertainty of the mother about the success of leaving a message. In her attempt to leave the message, she reminds Mark to switch off the hot plate before he leaves the house, indicating a sense of concern and care. The message also touches on a failed relationship with Maureen, which his mother encourages him to accept and suggests that he move on, saying there are other fish in the sea. The mother ends the message by saying that she loves Mark and the family would miss him.
The lyrics of the song capture the essence of everyday human relationships and the need for communication to stay connected. It highlights the emotions of love, care, and concern, and also touches on the themes of acceptance and moving on. The song represents the struggles of people in maintaining relationships in a fast-paced world where people tend to miss important moments and fail to communicate due to busy schedules.
