Call
Echoes of Regret: Kid Clever's Poignant Reflection on Missed Calls
Lyrics
The world is careless,
The world is indifferent or negligent.
So I'm sparing with the caring
Choosing to be cautious with empathy or compassion.
There's no need to share it
There's no necessity to share emotions or concerns.
I Ditch the world and paid my fares up on to Pegasus,
Escaping the world and its troubles, metaphorically riding on Pegasus after paying the price.
I'm out this hoe
Leaving a challenging situation.
But the thought to me is often scary
Despite leaving, the idea is unsettling or frightening.
More uncomfortable
Feeling uneasy or distressed.
Wandering in lonesome round the block in Chicago
Wandering alone around Chicago.
Thinking to myself all the folk
Reflecting on people in one's life who have lost hope.
I put faith in have lost hope
Realizing that those trusted have struggles with addiction.
They struggling with battling the bottle and the vices
Struggling with substances like alcohol and vices.
Hit three cups one blunt and then they out cold
Consuming three cups and a blunt, leading to unconsciousness.
I must admit I will vouch though
Acknowledging that it's easy to forget one's problems temporarily.
It's easy to forget your troubles
Encouraging escapism through alcohol and other means.
Head to your local liquor store and local clinic
Suggesting a reliance on liquor stores and clinics.
Pour a double of some henny
Pouring a double of Hennessy.
pop a Xan then get chillin
Taking a Xanax to relax.
Then everything just comes subtle
Experiencing a sense of calm and relief.
And that's the reason for the calls fam,
Explaining the reason for making calls – to check on loved ones.
Just to check in you know I'm here man
Expressing availability and concern for others.
but as the sands shift the hourglass tip
As time passes, life demands progress beyond the familiar city.
life demanded you move pass the city
Life events led to a tragic loss.
which led to tragedy lost you on some shit
Expressing regret for not reaching out sooner.
And I just wish that I had called
Feeling responsible for the loss.
I feel like this is my fault
Acknowledging the role in the person's memory fading away.
I was supposed to be family
Claiming a commitment to family bonds.
And now you memory you gone
Reflecting on the person being gone.
I always tried to reach
Attempting to reach out and support.
And catch you from the fall
Trying to prevent the person from falling further.
but you were too far into see
Realizing the distance was too great to intervene.
And I just wish that I had called
Reiterating the desire to have made a call.
I wish that I could call you back
Expressing the wish to reverse time and call back.
I wish that I could call you back
Repeating the desire to call the person back.
But when I try your fucking number
Frustration at the inability to contact the person.
Shit don't work
Expressing that the person's number is no longer functional.
I wish that I had call
Reiterating the regret for not making a call.
