This Be Called a Song
Discovering Life's Melody: Ringo Starr's 'This Be Called a Song'
Lyrics
Stand over me,
Expressing a request for support or assistance.
Look out for me,
Asking for protection or lookout.
Help me write this song for you.
Seeking collaboration in creating a song dedicated to the listener.
If you split me,
Warning against causing emotional harm or division.
Don't you take too long,
Advising not to delay in making decisions, especially regarding separation.
Just get thee gone.
Urging a swift departure without hesitation.
This be called a song,
Repetition emphasizing the nature of the creation as a song.
This be called a song,
-This be called a song,
-Song.
-Let your umbrella
Suggesting using imagination (umbrella) as a supportive companion.
Be your friend,
Encouraging emotional shelter and support for the singer.
Pitch a tent in your mind for me.
Metaphorically asking for mental space or consideration.
It's all for you,
Declaring the song's purpose to be entirely for the listener.
It's just the road that i need,
Expressing the necessity of the journey (road) with a sign indicating direction.
Behind it's just a sign.
-This be called a song,
Reiterating the identification of the creation as a song.
This be called a song,
-This be called a song.
-It's getting closer every day,
Highlighting the proximity of an event or realization.
And we got to see it through this time,
Stressing the importance of perseverance and completion of a task.
Is the time to find out if it's true,
Reflecting on the critical moment to determine the truth of previous statements.
What I've said to you.
-This be called a song,
Repeating the affirmation that the creation is indeed a song.
This be called a song,
-This be called a song,
-This be called a song.
-This be called a song, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Further emphasizing the identification of the creation as a song with vocalizations.
This be called a song, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
-This be called a song, (oh, oh, oh)
-This be called a song. (oh, oh, oh)
-This be called a song, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Concluding with a final declaration that the creation is a song.
This be called a song.
