Nightcall Lyrics

I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dumped
But have no fear

There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
There's something inside you boy
But you're still the same

I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dumped
But have no fear

There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
You're talking about you boy, but
You're still the same

Eh, yeah yeah
Tell you how
Tell you how
Tell you how, oh

I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night
Down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something
You don't want to hear
I'm giving you a nightcall
To tell you how I feel and how I feel

What is the Meaning of Nightcall?

Ever had that urge to spill your guts during a nighttime drive? This track captures that vibe perfectly. The narrator seems to be reaching out in the middle of the night to share some raw and unfiltered feelings. There's a sense of urgency and intimacy, as if driving through the night adds a layer of honesty to the conversation. They're ready to reveal something the listener might not want to hear, yet there's also reassurance woven in. Wrapped in haunting and mysterious lyrics, it’s about confronting someone with a truth that’s tough to swallow, yet inevitably necessary for understanding what lies beneath their exterior. The song taps into that universal experience of navigating complex emotions and showing vulnerability, even when it's difficult.
