Distress Call
Distress Call: Racing Against Time
Lyrics
Send it out again
Expressing the urgency to send a distress call once more
It shouldn't take this long to get back to me
Frustration about the prolonged response time
But if you can hear me
Checking if the call is audible to the recipient
If you're still there
Seeking confirmation of the listener's presence
What's your point in leaving me behind
Questioning the purpose of abandonment
Can't hold out much longer
Sense of imminent danger, feeling the need to act quickly
The wave is coming and I gotta move on
Reference to a approaching challenge or change
I feel death
Perceiving a looming threat of death
Breathing down the back of my neck
Sensation of danger close behind
Gotta get up and go
Emphasizing the necessity to move and take action
Get up and go
Reiteration of the urgency to move and not be engulfed
Or get swallowed up by the rising tide
The consequence of not acting - being overwhelmed by a crisis
And it looks like
Observing that time is not in their favor
Time isn't on our side
Highlighting the limited time available
Ooh and I can't rely on lies
Expressing a lack of trust in deceitful assurances
To keep me waiting
Unwillingness to wait based on false promises
Every time I try
Struggling to prevent oneself from departing
To stop myself from leaving
Internal conflict about leaving despite attempts to stay
With your head up in the clouds
Describing someone with a detached or unrealistic perspective
When do you plan to come back down
Questioning when the person with a lofty perspective will return
If you can't hear me
Repeating the attempt to communicate, questioning the listener's presence
You're not there
Confirming the absence or non-responsiveness of the listener
What's your point in leaving me behind
Reiterating the uncertainty about abandonment
It won't be much longer
Expressing the belief that the wait will not be much longer
The wait is over and I gotta move on
Indicating the end of the wait and the need to move forward
I feel death
Repeating the sense of impending danger and death
Breathing down the back of my neck
Feeling the proximity of a life-threatening situation
You gotta go, go
Emphasizing the imperative to go and not delay
Go, GO
Intensifying the urgency to move quickly
Or get left behind by the passing times
Warning against being left behind by the progressing times
And it looks like
Reiterating the theme that time is not on their side
Time isn't on our side
Stating the inability to rely on falsehoods to delay action
Ooh and I can't rely on lies
Reinforcing the lack of trust in deceptive assurances
To keep me waiting
Resisting the temptation to wait based on false promises
Every time I try
Struggling once more to resist leaving
To stop myself from leaving
Reiterating the internal conflict about departing
Send it out again
Final plea to send the distress call again
It shouldn't take this long to get back to me
Expressing frustration at the prolonged communication delay
