Call Me
R.K.T.S. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus:]
Call me
(call me)
If you want to go
We don't have to stay
In a world that is slippin' away

Call me

(call me)
If you want to go
We don't have to stay
In a world that is slippin' away

Face the world
My father told me
That life is mystical
Beautiful bliss-ful
Now, in troubled times
I find soul in reaching
What I'm seeking seems so far
Praise the world
My mother told me
That life's mechanical
So tyrannical
It blows my mind
Just what we'll be reaping
And weeping so help us god
Never knew that I
Could be looking why
Are so many
Breaking
Making castles of sand
Every man
Want to be the one
Want to be the one to be
King for a day but its slipping away
And I'm happy
Most melodical things I say
To release the pain
And cease the rain
In my brainstorm
I can't hide
From inside
Escape to, the outside
And I'll be flying away.

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

Never know, never know
What's right until you walking death
Everyday is just a struggle
We take till there's nothing left
When I wake up pray that I can see the truth between the dark
For the rest that don't care this a message straight to your heart
Nothing you say now can turn me away
I'm walking the path, never-le me a stray
Many they hold mics I don't know what to say
What's going on today?
And you walk to fast
On the broken glass
On the smoking pass
Hoping that
Worshiping the cash
But it never lasts
Won't you ask
What can we be?
Can we be free?
Where can we go?

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

Call me
Call me (if you want to go)
Call me (you can call
Call me me if you want to go)

Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

Call me, (call me)
If you want to go...

Call me
Don't hesitate to contact me

If you want to go
If you want to leave this world behind

We don't have to stay
We don't have to keep suffering and struggling in this world

In a world that is slippin' away
In a world that is deteriorating and falling apart

Face the world
Confront the reality of the world

My father told me
The advice my father gave me

That life is mystical
Life is full of mystery

Beautiful bliss-ful
Full of beauty and joy

Now, in troubled times
Currently, during difficult circumstances

I find soul in reaching
I find comfort in striving for my goals

What I'm seeking seems so far
My aspirations seem out of reach

Praise the world
The opinion of my mother

My mother told me
The advice my mother gave me

That life's mechanical
Life is routine and monotonous

So tyrannical
Controlling and oppressive

It blows my mind
It's hard to comprehend

Just what we'll be reaping
The negative consequences of our actions

And weeping so help us god
We'll cry and plead for help when things go wrong

Never knew that I
I never realized

Could be looking why
Could be searching for answers

Are so many breaking
Why are so many people struggling with life?

Making castles of sand
Pursuing fleeting and unsustainable goals

Every man
Everyone

Want to be the one
Desires to be remarkable and noteworthy

King for a day but its slipping away
Momentary success doesn't last

And I'm happy
I take pleasure

Most melodical things I say
The most soothing and harmonious things I express

To release the pain
To ease my suffering

And cease the rain
To stop the tears and heartache

In my brainstorm
In my moments of thought and reflection

I can't hide
I can't conceal my feelings

From inside
From my innermost self

Escape to, the outside
Find solace in the outside world

And I'll be flying away
And I'll feel light and free

Never know, never know
We never realize

What's right until you walking death
What's truly important and valuable in life becomes apparent when facing mortality

Everyday is just a struggle
Life is a constant battle

We take till there's nothing left
We exhaust our resources and ourselves

When I wake up pray that I can see the truth between the dark
I ask for clarity and insight in the midst of darkness and confusion

For the rest that don't care this a message straight to your heart
For those who are indifferent, this message is meant to resonate with their emotions

Nothing you say now can turn me away
I am resolved and committed

I'm walking the path, never-le me a stray
I'm following a certain course, don't let me lose sight of it

Many they hold mics I don't know what to say
Many people express themselves through music, I'm not sure how to express myself

What's going on today?
What's happening in the world currently?

And you walk to fast
You're moving too quickly

On the broken glass
On the shattered and dangerous ground

On the smoking pass
On the path of no return

Hoping that
Desiring and anticipating

Worshiping the cash
Obsessively pursuing wealth and materialism

But it never lasts
It's not sustainable

Won't you ask
Won't you inquire

What can we be?
What's our potential?
