Telephone
TheBlackAngels Lyrics

You never call my name
The singer expresses feelings of neglect, having never received a phone call from the person they desire.

On the telephone
The implied context for these repeated statements is that the singer has not received a phone call from their desired person, despite having a phone (line) and an expectation that communication would occur in this manner.

I just sit and cry
This may suggest that the singer is feeling lonely or rejected, and has been reduced to crying due to their lack of connection with the other person.

I try and call your phone,
The artist has made attempts to communicate with the other person over the phone.

But you're never home
These attempts have been unsuccessful, as the other person is not there to answer the phone.

You watch me sit outside
This implies that the singer may have been outside the desired person's location, waiting and hoping for a chance to communicate and/or spend time with them.

You watch me wait and try
This line further emphasizes the other person's lack of response or engagement, and suggests that they may have knowingly ignored the singer's attempts to contact them.

And much to my surprise,
This suggests that the artist has experienced some sort of revelation or realization, perhaps by discovering something that they did not expect or did not want to know.

I caught you on the number 9
This implies that the other person has been communicating with others or doing something else (using the number 9), despite their supposed unavailability.

You make me sick inside
This reveals the depths of the artist's emotional turmoil, as the other person's neglect has caused them to feel ill or disturbed.

You make me wanna die
This hyperbolic statement further emphasizes the detrimental impact that the other person's actions have had on the singer's mental state, and suggests that they may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or ideation as a result.
