I Call Your Name
Yearning Echoes: Unveiling the Emotions in 'I Call Your Name'
Lyrics
I call your name but you're not there
I reach out to you verbally, but you're absent or unavailable.
Was I to blame for being unfair?
Am I at fault for treating you unfairly or causing the separation?
Don't you know I can't sleep at night
My inability to sleep is a result of missing you.
Since you've been gone i never weep at night
Since you left, I no longer shed tears during the night.
I can't go on
I'm struggling to continue without you.
Don't you know I can't take it?
I can't endure the pain; it's too much for me.
I don't know who can i'm not gonna make it
I don't know who can endure it; I feel incapable of making it through.
I'm not that kind of man
I am not the type of person who can handle this.
Don't you know I can't sleep at night
Similar to line 3, emphasizing the difficulty of sleeping in your absence.
But just the same i never weep at night
Despite the lack of sleep, I don't cry during the night.
I call your name
I express your name, perhaps as an attempt to bridge the emotional gap.
Don't you know I can't take it?
Reiteration of the emotional struggle and inability to cope.
I don't know who can i'm not gonna make it
Similar to line 8, expressing uncertainty about enduring the pain.
I'm not that kind of man
Reiteration that the speaker is not equipped to handle this emotional challenge.
Don't you know I can't sleep at night
Re-emphasizing the difficulty of sleeping without you.
But just the same i never weep at night
Despite the sleeplessness, there is a lack of tears during the night.
I call your name i call your name
I repeatedly express your name, underscoring the emotional longing.
I call your name i call your name
Reiteration of the longing by calling out your name once again.
