Calling
Paula i Karol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't mind, I don't mind
If that's the way things have to be
I'll fall asleep and wake to better things, you'll see
I don't mind, I don't mind
If that's the way things have to be
I'll take this life and watch it grow and disappear
I'm alright, I'm alright
I have dealt with flesh and fear
I'll love you all and watch you grow and disappear
We're alright, we're alright,
We've all dealt with flesh and fear
And we'll be calling, calling, calling, calling
And I can't believe these hands are leaving me
And I can't believe these hands are leaving
I'll take this heart and drive it straight into the sea
I don't mind, I don't mind
If that's the way things have to be
The lyrics of "Calling" by Paula i Karol are a reflection of the acceptance of the inevitable changes that life brings. The song speaks about letting go of things and people that are dear to us and moving forward without them. The first verse, "I'll take this heart and drive it straight into the sea, I don't mind, I don't mind, If that's the way things have to be," talks about letting go of love and throwing it away like a possession. The singer understands that sometimes we have to let go of love and move on with life, regardless of how hard it may be.
The second verse, "I'll fall asleep and wake to better things, you'll see, I don't mind, I don't mind, If that's the way things have to be," talks about the acceptance of change and the belief that things will get better. The singer is ready to embrace what is to come, and although it may be a difficult transition, they are willing to face it head-on.
The chorus, "And I'll be calling, calling, calling, calling," is a reflection of the desire to stay connected to those we have had to let go of. The repetition of the word "calling" represents the yearning to reach out and keep in touch with those from the past.
The bridge, "And I can't believe these hands are leaving me," is a metaphor that speaks to the loss of control we feel when we let go of something we love. The final verse, "I'll take this heart and drive it straight into the sea, I don't mind, I don't mind, If that's the way things have to be," brings the song full circle, and we see the singer is still determined to move forward and let go.
Overall, "Calling" speaks to the universal experience of loss, change, and growth. It's a powerful, emotional song that represents the strength we all possess to accept what life brings, embrace change, and move forward.

Niewiele znam piosenek, które przy pierwszym odsłuchaniu robią na człowieku takie pozytywne wrażenie. Dzisiaj, jadąc z rana autem, usłyszałem tę melodię w radiu. Szybko zapisałem sobie imiona wykonawców i gdy tylko wróciłem do domu odnalazłem powyższy klip. Ta piosenka emanuje niezwykle dobrą energią! Dziękuję i proszę o więcej!
@thomas8thomas

@OlgierdTybinkowski
Kiedyś tam słyszałem w PR3 i tak sobie jechałem autem i byłem pod wrażeniem tego, jak lekko ten kawałek sobie lata w moich uszach. Po koncercie granym przed Brodką w Częstochowie stwierdziłem, że dawno nikt nie naładował mnie taką pozytywną energią :) Bombowa grupa ludzi robiąca świetną muzykę. Oklaski. PS Cymbałki są najlepsze :)
