I Called out Your Name
Yearning Echoes: A Soul's Cry in the Cold Morning Light
Lyrics
Under the sky, the cold morning light,
Describing the setting under the cold morning light.
I called out your name.
The speaker is calling out someone's name.
With nothing I could feel
The speaker lacked tangible emotions or sensations.
Nothing I knew was real
Nothing the speaker perceived seemed real.
I called out your name
Repetition of the speaker calling out a name.
Vision a blur, voice in a slur, crying in the rain
Blurry vision, slurred voice, crying in the rain.
One thing I knew, baby it was you.
The speaker recognizes one certain thing, and that is the person they are calling out to.
I called out your name.
Repetition of the speaker calling out a name.
I was dreaming of a place where my body never aged,
The speaker dreams of a place where their body doesn't age.
I called out your name.
Repetition of the speaker calling out a name.
I was dreaming of a time when I never lost my mind,
The speaker dreams of a time when they didn't lose their mind.
I called out your name.
Repetition of the speaker calling out a name.
My vision turned the threat, I woke up in a sweat,
The speaker's dream becomes threatening, causing them to wake up in a sweat.
Feeling my spirits drain!
The speaker feels drained emotionally.
One thing I knew baby it was you.
Despite the threatening dream, the speaker knows one thing for sure: it was about the person they're calling out to.
I called out your name.
Repetition of the speaker calling out a name.
I was feeling so old, my body so cold,
The speaker feels old and cold, expressing a need to see a particular person.
Only you I needed to see.
That person is the speaker's sole necessity.
I had fallen so low, you were all I had known
The speaker has hit a low point, and the person they're calling out to is all they've ever known.
I had to love before I had to leave!
The speaker acknowledges the importance of love before departure.
Under the sky, the cold morning light
Repetition of the setting under the cold morning light.
I called out your name.
Repetition of the speaker calling out a name.
With nothing I could feel,
The speaker still lacks tangible feelings.
Nothing I knew was real,
Continuation of the lack of reality in the speaker's perception.
I called out your name.
Repetition of the speaker calling out a name.
My time was running out!
The speaker is running out of time.
Still I had to shout, I held my refrain! Whoa!
Despite time running out, the speaker feels the need to shout and refrains from holding back.
One thing I knew, baby it was you!
Repetition of the speaker knowing one thing for certain: the person they're calling out to.
I called out your name.
Final repetition of the speaker calling out a name.
