I sometimes like to listen to the song
"Why They Call It Failling"
In fact, the title of the song is a question that repeats several times in the lyrics, and I always hope to find the answer each time I listen to the song.
I believe that the singer faces the same problem, otherwise, I don't see why she would insist on this issue, mobilizing the entire choir to help her.
"So why they call it failing?
Why they call it failing?
Why they call it failing?
I don't know."
You see? It is almost as "why are my calls failing" Although there are so many people around, no one is able to offer an explanation, even though it is visibly clear that the difference between standing up and falling down is actually staggering.
The singer sometimes tries to count on her fingers, suggesting various options:
"It's like a knife
Through the heart
It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kind of like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new."
The big misfortune in finding out what interests us is that the melody line returns to the chorus, and the questions to which no answer has yet been found start again. This doesn't mean that we are completely detached from the philosophical interpretation of the phenomenon, although there seems to be a slightly negative, even fatalistic, tone:
"But you can't live your life
Walking in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down."
The song ends, it can be hummed further, and the problem we started with is still standing because I can't understand how I didn't think of this answer myself.
The lyrics even say it's nothing else but a trifle:
"It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon."
This makes me realize why pop songs aren't as long as an opera. Opera complicates things, bringing too many people on stage, each with their own opinions, while a pop song goes straight to the point, even if it pretends for a minute or two that it doesn't solve the problem. Surely, this fumbling is just so the song doesn't end too quickly and seem trivial and easy.
The very song singer confirms my opinion regarding why are my calls failing, She, finally, knows.
"And why they call it failing
Why they call it failing
Why they call it failing
Now I know."
