Should I Call
Navigating Life's Unpaved Roads: Finding Meaning in Shouganaira's 'Should I Call'
Lyrics
I'm just looking for a road that's unpaved
I am searching for a path that is unconventional or less explored.
But well maintained
This path should be unconventional but still well-maintained or in good condition.
Just well maintained
Reiterating the desire for a path that is both unconventional and well-maintained.
I just
Expressing a pause or contemplation.
I just want to know how to say what I mean
Desire to communicate clearly and honestly.
And mean what I say
Emphasizing the importance of sincerity in speech.
And be what I mean
Expressing a desire to embody one's words.
And be what I mean, what I say
Reiteration of the desire to align actions with words.
What I say
Continuing the emphasis on sincerity in communication.
Maybe this way the ringing of the echoing vagueness will dissipate
Hoping that by following this path, unclear and echoing thoughts will fade away.
Maybe this way I can just blend into the sky
Aspiring to blend into the vastness of the sky, possibly seeking anonymity or freedom.
Maybe this way
Reiteration of the aspiration to find a path that brings clarity and freedom.
I love the way you call
Expressing appreciation for the way someone calls to check on well-being.
To see if I'm all right
The caller wants to ensure the person is okay.
To know if it was I
Questioning if the caller is the one responsible for causing problems.
The one that messed it all up
Reflecting on a past decision to leave when the speaker chose to be true to themselves.
It's when you decided to leave
Highlighting a significant moment when someone decided to depart.
That's when I chose to be more like me
Choosing authenticity and individuality after the departure.
Yeah, beautiful moments they may have seemed to be
Acknowledging the beauty of moments even if they seemed challenging.
But, I'll never forget that you told me
Remembering a statement that suggested the speaker's limitations.
That I would never be more than this
Recalling being told that the speaker won't amount to more than their current state.
That you told me I should never sing
Being discouraged from pursuing singing as a form of expression.
That I would cause the world to sink
Recounting a warning that the speaker's actions might have negative consequences for the world.
And fade away
The expectation that the speaker's influence would diminish and disappear.
I love when you call
Reiteration of the appreciation for calls checking on well-being.
To ask if I'm all right
Expressing a desire for concern about overall well-being.
To see if I'm just fine
The caller wants to ensure the speaker is genuinely fine.
I wish I were
Expressing a wish to be in a better emotional state.
I'm just looking for a road that's unpaved
Reiterating the search for an unconventional but well-maintained path.
But well maintained
Emphasizing the desire for a path that is both unconventional and in good condition.
I want to know how to say what I mean
Reiterating the aspiration to communicate honestly and clearly.
And be what I say
Desire to embody one's words and intentions.
What I mean
Reiteration of the importance of sincerity in communication.
What I say
Continuing the emphasis on being true to oneself in speech and actions.
