Snow Patrol - Called Out in the Dark Meaning
Song Released: 2011
Called Out in the Dark Lyrics
Cuz we don't know how to back down
We were called out to the streets
We were called out into the towns
How the heavens they opened up
Like arms of dazzling gold
With our rain-washed histories
Well...
-
It’s about the wars in Ireland,
Arms aloft, holding the guns above their heads as they celebrate the announcement of a break in the war.
As the Kids took back the parks, you and I were left with the streets.
Meaning they had their homes back and could actually experience freedom and enjoyment
We are listening and we’re not blind, means the general public knew what was going on and weren’t blind to it but tried to enjoy every moment they could regardless because ‘this is your life, this is your time’ -
Called out in the dark is about hanging around with a group of people that are spiraling out of control and he (the singer) knows that continuing hanging out with them will eventually lead to his destruction but he feels the need to live and to feel alive so he sneaks out every night and hangs out with them. And he doesn't even care about life anymore and is attracted to the inevitable aproaching end. This is your life, this is your time"
