The Call

When you drive alone for a journey of more than 30 minutes, what do you enjoy the most? For me, it depends on my mood. If it’s a morning drive to office, I’ll tend to listen to my type of music and sing my heart out. It’s good though, because normally I would get stuck in the traffic and singing loudly would make me swing over my mood from traffic stress. I’ll tend to do deep thinking usually while driving home from office. It will relate from whatever song that I listen to. The topic could be anything, anybody and most of the time, I really felt deep and so immersed into that thinking that I could cry badly. Cikpah said I once cried like a pig. Damn! At times, I can’t find the answer for my thinking. For that case, I’ll tend to become spaced out and will also affect my mood when at home.

Last night, I was listening to Backstreet Boys – The Call. I understand the hidden meaning of that song now that I’m not that naïve. I remember last time during Uni days, I was cheated by the video clip and that I’ve never listen to the song carefully. I thought the guy was on some secret mission. Naïve! It is not! The song is actually tells us about infidelity and lies made in a relationship! And that guy is actually started to feel that the deceitful things that he did is actually eating him from inside. If you haven’t listened to that song yet, here is the lyric:

Let me tell you the story about the call that changed my destiny

Me and my boys went out, just to end up in misery

Was about to go home when there she was standing in front of me

I said hi! I got a little place nearby, wanna go?

I should've said no

Someone's waiting for me

But I called my girl up and said

[chorus:]

Listen baby I'm sorry

Just wanna tell you don't worry

I will be late, don't stay up and wait for me

I say again, you're dropping out, my battery is low

Just so you know, we're going to a place nearby

Gotta go!

Now two years gone, nothing's been won

I can't take it back, what's done is done

One of her friends found out that she wasn't my only one

And it eats me from inside that she's not by my side

Just because I made that call and lied

[chorus:]

Listen baby I'm sorry

Just wanna tell you don't worry

I will be late, don't stay up and wait for me

I say again, you're dropping out, my battery is low

Just so you know, we're going to a place nearby

Gotta go!

Listen baby, I'm sorry

Listen baby, I'm sorry

Oh...

Let me tell you the story ‘bout the call that changed my destiny

Me and my boys went out just to end up in misery

Was about to go home when there she was standing in front of me

I said hi, I got a little place nearby, gotta go...

[chorus:]

Listen baby I'm sorry

Just wanna tell you don't worry

I will be late, don't stay up and wait for me

I say again, you're dropping out, my battery is low

Just so you know, we're going to a place nearby

Gotta go!
