Morning
The Field Lyrics

The Field's song "Morning" is a soulful, melancholic call for help, reaching out to different people with different professions for aid. The first verse begins with the plea "Hey brother can you spare a dime", conveying a sense of desperation and destitution. The singer confesses to having "years to live and not much time" while being "all run out of peace of mind". The repetition of "Hey brother can you spare a dime" emphasizes the feeling of helplessness and the urgency of the situation. In the second verse, the singer appeals to "Hey sister" for help, admitting to "sleeping in the dirt again" while "This day ain't gone the way I planned". The tone is almost apologetic, as she asks "I'm cold enough for everyone / A red brick in the washing drum / Hey sister can you lend the sun", as though aware that her problems seem trivial and self-focused in the grand scheme of things.

The chorus serves as a plea for companionship and support, with the singer calling out to people with different professions, seeking relief in the hands of those who may be able to help. She acknowledges her fragile emotional and mental state, describing herself as having "eyes that bleed [her] raw" and "hands that see through walls". The repetition that follows of "I know I'm not who you saw / But I need you and that's all / Be my morning call" highlights the sense of isolation and alienation that the singer may feel, while also underscoring the importance of reaching out and asking for help.

The use of different professions in the verses highlights the different people who may be struggling with their own challenges but possess a unique skillset that could help the singer. The vivid imagery used throughout the song creates a sense of longing and desperation, such as the "red brick in the washing drum" and the "eyes that bleed me raw" -- that add a layer of meaning to the lyrics.
