The Call
The Sundial Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day you're gonna run into yourself
You can try to hide it just won't help
Cuz you can change your mind but not your fate
You can change your life it's not too late

Listen to the quiet
Listen to your heart
Can you feel the gentle touch?
A candle in the dark
Listen to the wind blow
Feel the stormy hold (?)
If you can hear the message
Answer the call

Oh

You can show the world what you've done
But the world cannot also make you come unveiled
When we talk of freedom there's a price
But it's something that you never come pre-nice (?)

Listen to the quiet
Listen to your heart
Can you feel the gentle touch?
A candle in the dark
Listen to the wind blow
Feel the stormy hold (?)
If you can hear the message
Answer the call

You live
You learn
You share
You laugh
You cry
You hope
You die
You dream
You love
You bleed
You try
Ask why

Listen to the quiet
Listen to your heart
Can you feel the gentle touch?
A candle in the dark
Oh and listen to the wind blow
Feel the stormy hold (?)
If you can hear the message
Answer the call

Oh





Answer the call

Overall Meaning

"The Call" by The Sundial is a song about self-reflection, change, and destiny. The first verse talks about how eventually, we will come face to face with ourselves, and no matter how hard we try to hide from it, we will eventually have to confront who we are. The lyrics suggest that while we can change some things in life, there are some things that are predetermined for us, like our fate. However, it's not too late to change our lives and make the most of the time we have left.


Throughout the song, there is a call to listen - to listen to the quiet, to listen to the heart, to listen to the wind blow. The lyrics suggest that there is a message in these sounds, and if we can hear it, we should answer the call. The idea here is that if we take the time to reflect and listen to our inner selves and the world around us, we can find the answers we seek.


The chorus repeats this idea, saying that if we can feel the gentle touch and the stormy hold, we should answer the call. The song ends with a list of experiences - living, learning, sharing, laughing, crying, hoping, dying, dreaming, loving, bleeding, and trying - and a call to ask why. The implication is that all of these experiences are part of what makes us who we are, and we should take the time to reflect on why they matter.
