Call Me Lyrics
Read the stop signs
I can't love nothing
I mate, kill
You wake up and it's not morning
I can't sleep, I loved you once
I loved you so much
There's a shape on the horizon
As we're picked off one by one
Something's gone
Something's over
Move your hand again
I can't watch you wash
The floor
You live for the green
I hold your flame
So why?
There's a shape over the ocean
As we're picked off one by one
Summer's gone
Summer's over
Somebody here's too smart
There's nothing that doesn't die
Why don't you do to my insight
What you do to my insides?
Oh, babe
I'm in a deep hole
I've dug myself five feet deep
So many people want to talk
They look in the mirror, see themselves
They look in the mirror, they look at me,
They look at me
They look at me, oh-oh-oh
Something's gone
Something's over
Peter said
"Thanks for letting me hold you
Calling me moonshine
I can take you there and call you that"
This is your name
I'm lonely at night
Time on my hands
I feel sad in the day
Call me
Call me
Call me
Nobody knows
Home or away
What I'm waiting for
Call me
Call me
Call me
Here I am
What a loser
Waiting for years to go by
Call me
Call me
Call me
I can't love nothing
I mate, kill
You wake up and it's not morning
I can't sleep, I loved you once
I loved you so much
As we're picked off one by one
Something's gone
Something's over
I can't watch you wash
The floor
You live for the green
I hold your flame
So why?
As we're picked off one by one
Summer's gone
Summer's over
There's nothing that doesn't die
Why don't you do to my insight
What you do to my insides?
Oh, babe
I've dug myself five feet deep
So many people want to talk
They look in the mirror, see themselves
They look in the mirror, they look at me,
They look at me
They look at me, oh-oh-oh
Something's over
"Thanks for letting me hold you
Calling me moonshine
I can take you there and call you that"
This is your name
Time on my hands
I feel sad in the day
Call me
Call me
Call me
Home or away
What I'm waiting for
Call me
Call me
Call me
What a loser
Waiting for years to go by
Call me
Call me
Call me

The first of a trilogy of some of the most powerful songs in pop music.
This one is a break up song.
Something's gone Something's over
First she is expressing the sheer rage and primal violent frustration of the failure:
I can't love nothing I mate, kill
She acknowledges death and separations are the ways of the world, of nature:
There's a shape over the ocean As we're picked off one by one Summer's gone Summer's over
And expresses the overwhelming power of intimacy:
Peter said "Thanks for letting me hold you Calling me moonshine I can take you there and call you that" This is your name
And she finallly, by the end of the song collapses into the defeat of the failed relationship, and the feeling of being doomed to eternal loneliness.
What's interesting is to compare this to "Green". Tanya ruminates over a disastrously bad relationship, and it's all about the power and the madness of love. Kristin, on the other hand, just takes heartbreak as a jumping-off point for everything that's wrong in her head, in her life, and in the whole world. The affair is irrelevant; the aftermath—and being alone with her own head—is what matters.

Also, of course, the first song on the first album captures everything that's great about the Muses. It starts off with Kristin spitting out poetic but barely-coherent violent imagery,...
Also, of course, the first song on the first album captures everything that's great about the Muses. It starts off with Kristin spitting out poetic but barely-coherent violent imagery, then collapsing into despair and despondency (and, instead of just ending there, wallows in it), all while Tanya and the rest of the band somehow manage to keep up with the changes.
