===============
Air - Call Me
===============

If I were you I'd let the whole thing drop,
If you don't you know that it will never stop.
Should have got wise when the shit hit the fan,
Should have got wise when you abandoned the frying pan.

Chorus:

Well you should have called me,
Call me, call me.
Why don't you call me?
Call me, call me.
Why don't you call me?
Call me, call me.
You could have called me,
Call me, call me.

If I were you I'd let the whole thing blow away,
You can always make it up, some other day.
And I don't understand why your friends are all so out of sight,
Guess they were hoping that you and I would pick a fight.

Repeat chorus.

I don't understand how you got into this mess,
Started out with nothing, ended up with less.
And I'll never know why you didn't do the right thing,
Just pick up the phone and give someone a ring,
Well you could have called me...





Repeat chorus.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Call Me" by AIR are a message to someone who is going through a difficult situation that they likely caused themselves. The singer advises the person to let it go and move on instead of making it worse. The first verse suggests that the person should have realized that things were going to go wrong and stopped it before it was too late. The chorus repeats the phrase "Call me" multiple times, emphasizing that the person could have reached out for help or guidance but did not. The second verse expands on the idea that the situation was avoidable and ponders why the person's friends did not intervene or persuade them to do the right thing. The final line once again implores the listener to reach out for help in the future.


Overall, the song reflects a sense of regret and frustration towards the person who started the problem and did not take responsibility for correcting it. The repetition of "Call me" suggests that the singer wishes they had been given the chance to help or prevent the situation. The lyrics can be interpreted as a cautionary tale for listeners to take responsibility for their actions and to seek help when needed.
