Don't Call Me
Sylver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't call me beautiful
Don't call me hot
Don't call me lovable
Because I'm not

Don't call me generous
Don't call me kind
Don't call luminous
Don't be so blind

I am a sinner
I'm not a saint
I am a winner
And you sure ain't
Don't be so desperate
Don't be naive
I'm full of lies
Which you believe

Don't call me angel
Don't call me sweet
Don't call me baby
Your heart will bleed

Don't call me perfect
Don't call me nice
Don't think I care
And think twice

I am a sinner
I'm not a saint
I am a winner
And you sure ain't
Don't be so desperate
Don't be naive
I'm full of lies
Which you believe

Don't call me beautiful
Don't call me beautiful
Don't call me beautiful
Don't call me hot

I am a sinner
I'm not a saint
I am a winner
And you sure ain't
Don't be so desperate
Don't be naive




I'm full of lies
Which you believe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sylver's song "Don't Call Me" are a strong demand for truth and authenticity in relationships. The singer is tired of being called names like "beautiful" or "hot," as they feel like those labels are superficial and don't reflect who they truly are. They also reject labels like "generous" and "kind," which suggest they are perfect and flawless - no one can be completely altruistic all the time. Instead, the singer sees themselves as a flawed but ultimately successful person, while warning their lover not to be so blind to their faults.


The singer then goes on to clarify their morally ambiguous stance. They are a sinner, not a saint - someone who has made mistakes and may continue to do so. However, they see themselves as a winner, able to succeed in living life on their own terms. They warn their lover not to be desperate or naive, as the singer is full of lies that their lover may find alluring but ultimately untrustworthy.


The chorus repeats the demand not to call the singer beautiful or hot, suggesting that these attributes are not important or lasting. The singer is focused on deeper qualities of character and purpose, and wants their lover to recognize that.


Overall, "Don't Call Me" highlights the importance of authenticity in relationships. The singer rejects superficial labels and demands that their lover see them for who they truly are, flaws and all. They may be a sinner, but they are also a winner - and want their lover to respect that.
