The song "The Call" by Gotthard is about a person who has been let down and disappointed by someone in a relationship. They have decided to move on and not answer any more calls from that person because they have had enough chances and they blew them all. The lyrics convey a sense of determination and strength, with the singer expressing that they won't regret their decision and will try to forget the past. They state that they are already on their way to moving on. The chorus emphasizes the idea that the higher someone rises or tries to prove themselves, the harder they will fall. The singer has been waiting for this moment, where they can finally play their cards and show that the stake was on the other person. However, now the other person has given them a single reason to stay and wait for their call. The singer seems to be questioning whether waiting for that call is worth it. The repeated line "But higher they fly, the harder they fall" suggests that the person who let them down will eventually face consequences for their actions. The singer has been waiting for this moment and has played all their cards, implying that they have put effort into the relationship but are now ready to move on. Overall, the song speaks about the pain of disappointment and the resolve to not let oneself be hurt anymore. It conveys a message of empowerment and the willingness to let go of a toxic relationship.
