Your Call
Ulver Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who is here
To hold your hand

In the dark
Where no one

Answers the phone
Speaking of the dead

When the red light rings
Don't be alarmed

Someone is dying
With no one to talk to

Other than those carried
Down the corridors

Open in the end
End in the open





And the sun is
Waiting

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ulver's song "Your Call" are highly evocative and open to interpretation. The song seems to be about the experience of death and dying, and the search for comfort and connection in the face of mortality. The opening lines, "Who is here to hold your hand in the dark where no one answers the phone," suggest a sense of isolation and fear that can accompany the end of life. The reference to "speaking of the dead" further emphasizes the weight and finality of death.


As the song continues, the lyrics become more surreal and abstract. The line "When the red light rings, don't be alarmed" adds an element of the mysterious and otherworldly. The suggestion that "someone is dying with no one to talk to" is deeply haunting and sad, creating a sense of loneliness and isolation that can be overwhelming. The final lines of the song, "Open in the end, end in the open, and the sun is waiting," offer a glimmer of hope and transcendence. The idea that death is not an end, but rather a point of transition, is a powerful and comforting one.
