Long-distance operator
Place this call, it's not for fun
Long-distance operator
Please, place this call, you know it's not for fun
I gotta give a message to my baby
You know, she's not just anyone.
There are thousands in the phone booth
Thousands at the gate
There are thousands in the phone booth
Thousands at the gate
Ev'rybody wants to make a long-distance call
But you know they're just gonna have to wait.
If a call comes from Louisiana
Please, let it rise
If a call comes from Louisiana
Please, let it rise
This phone booth's on fire
It's getting hot inside.
Ev'rybody wants to be my friend
But nobody wants to get higher
Ev'rybody wants to be my friend
But nobody wants to get higher
Long-distance operator
I believe I'm stranglin' on this telephone wire.
Long-Distance Operator is written and performed by Bob Dylan. ✔️
What is the meaning behind Long-Distance Operator lyrics?
When we take a closer look to the meaning, the Bob Dylan song 'Long Distance Operator' expresses vividly the sensation of being separated and alone, even though the protagonist yearns for the company of the one he loves. The writer resorts to the metaphor of a long-distance call to denote the difficulties and obstacles in reaching someone, thus mirroring the emotional and physical suffering and irritations of the connecting process. Long-Distance Operator lyrics mainly convey themes like love, heartbreak, solitude, angst, and despair. At the same time, the song brings to light the longing and connection, as well as isolation and frustration. The lyrical content contains themes of longing and frustration linked to communication which may not be appropriate for very young children. There are no direct mentions of violence, sex, or drug use, but the emotional power and the reference to 'stranglin' in this telephone wire' might be taken as slightly adult, thus requiring parental guidance.
