WAKE ME UP
Хит 2012 I Avicii feat. Aloe Blacc Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older




All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Avicii's 'Wake Me Up,' as interpreted, convey a message of youthful exploration, self-discovery, and the importance of embracing life experiences fully. The song's narrator is a young individual who is attempting to navigate their way through life, guided only by their 'beating heart'. The journey's end is unknown to them, but the singer is confident that they know where to begin.


The chorus serves as the central message of the song, asking to be woken up when it is all over and they are wiser and older. The singer seems to be acknowledging that they still have a lot of self-discovery and exploration to do, and they are willing to take the time to do it fully. They are conscious that they are too young to understand everything fully, and the world might pass them by if they do not open their eyes, but they are content with that.


Besides, the singer acknowledges that they can only do so much, carrying the weight of the world with two hands. Still, they aspire to travel and see the world, although they do not have any concrete plans. The song concludes that life is a game for everyone, and the prize is love, and it is necessary to embrace all that comes with it.


Line by Line Meaning

Feeling my way through the darkness
Navigating life without a clear path


Guided by a beating heart
Instinctively following one's passions


I can't tell where the journey will end
The future is uncertain


But I know where to start
Starting small can lead to great success


They tell me I'm too young to understand
Others underestimate one's potential


They say I'm caught up in a dream
According to some, one's aspirations are unrealistic


Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Being too risk-averse can lead to missed opportunities


Well that's fine by me
The individual is willing to accept the consequences of their decisions


So wake me up when it's all over
Asking to be shown the way


When I'm wiser and I'm older
Better equipped to handle life's challenges


All this time I was finding myself
The journey has led to self-discovery


And I didn't know I was lost
Self-discovery has revealed one's lack of direction


I tried carrying the weight of the world
Attempting to take on too much responsibility


But I only have two hands
Recognizing one's limitations


I hope I get the chance to travel the world
Aspiring to experience all that life has to offer


But I don't have any plans
Embracing uncertainty


I wish that I could stay forever this young
Longing for the carefree nature of youth


Not afraid to close my eyes
Embracing the unknown


Life's a game made for everyone
Life is full of opportunities and challenges for all


And love is the prize
The ultimate reward in life


I didn't know I was lost
Reiterating the newfound understanding of one's lack of direction


I didn't know I was lost
Reiterating the newfound understanding of one's lack of direction


I didn't know I was lost
Reiterating the newfound understanding of one's lack of direction


I didn't know I was lost
Reiterating the newfound understanding of one's lack of direction

☆Wake me up☆

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

“So wake me up when it’s all over.” Such a sad line now.

Avicii really cared for his fans, his family, and his friends. But sometimes the stress of it all can add up. Which led to the death of one of this generations Icons Tim Bergling. Rest easy Tim and keep waving that hand in heaven.

Eliott Domin

Him and Chester we’re both well aware and quite deep in exposing some of the darkest sides this reality has… i’m not denying either of them suffered with mental health issues throughout their life and career; but i see this song as a message of hope that one day he can return and re-awaken when these dark times are over.

@Netherdragon38 is boss bro hate to break it to u but he didn’t write that. Aloe did

Md Shadman Wasif Khan

Mental Health is super vital for us... It's so good to see that the Tim Bergling Foundation was
made in order to prevent suicide and help others with mental health issues. MENTAL HEALTH IS NOT A JOKE

Netherdragon38 is boss

“So wake me up when it’s all over.” Thats How you can tell something was up And he didn't want wake up So You know it was Bound to Happen Take Chester For example He loved his fans And Freinds/Family Espasaly Mike But That aside In Chesters Songs you Can hear the Pain And missory These Artists Are going through and no one should deserve to go throghu that pain. Rest in peace Brother And Say hi to Avicii For me Will you.
