Don't Call Me

"**Don't Call Me**", also known as "**You Call Me**", is a song by Mars Argo. It was only ever released as a live performance and was likely intended for use on their canceled second studio album.

## Background

The song saw its live debut at Silverlake Lounge on April 24th, 2013, and was subsequently performed at multiple venues throughout the year such as Bardot and Pehrspace.

A live version, recorded at Bedrock Studios, was released to the Grocerybag YouTube channel on June 18th, 2013. Soon after being uploaded, it received attention online due to its sampling of the Marimba ringtone. As a result, the performance video became one of the most-viewed uploads on Grocerybag, amassing over 100 thousand views in only a week before being taken down the following year.

In an interview with Harmontown on June 24th, 2013, Mars Argo and Titanic Sinclair spoke about some of the negative backlash the song received following its release to YouTube.

## Lyrics

My head is spinning, falling down

Collect myself when I hit the ground

I break my back, I grind my teeth and I stay up late

But I still can't sleep

You call me for everything

Don't call me for anything

You call me for everything

Don't call me

Forget who I am every day

That's how I know that I'm okay

I know I'm on my way

Forget who I am every day

That's how I know I haven't changed

I know I'm on my way

You call me for everything

Don't call me for anything

You call me for everything

Don't call me

Just call me

Forget who I am every day

That's how I know that I'm okay

I know I'm on my way

Forget who I am every day

That's how I know I haven't changed

I know I'll be okay
