Wide Awake
凱蒂佩芮 Katy Perry Lyrics

I'm wide awake
I am fully aware and conscious

I was in the dark
I was unaware of the truth or reality

I was falling hard
I was experiencing a difficult situation with great intensity

With an open heart
With a trusting and vulnerable attitude

How did I read the stars so wrong
How could I have misinterpreted the signs or signals so badly?

Now it's clear to me
I see things in a new perspective

That everything you see ain't always what it seems
Appearances can be deceiving

I was dreaming for so long
I was lost in unrealistic or imaginary hopes or desires

Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't rush headfirst into a situation

Wouldn't bow down
Wouldn't compromise or give up my principles

Gravity hurts
The truth can be painful or difficult to accept

You made it so sweet
You made it seem so appealing and desirable

Till I woke up on the concrete
Until I faced the harsh reality of the situation

Not losing any sleep
Not worrying or obsessing over the situation

Picked up every piece
Recovering from the damage or loss

And landed on my feet
Recovered from the setback or challenge

Need nothing to complete myself, no
I am content with who I am and need no external validation or approval

Yeah, I am born again
I have a fresh start or perspective

Out of the lion's den
Out of a dangerous or threatening situation

I don't have to pretend
I don't have to fake or hide my emotions or thoughts

And it's too late, the story's over now, the end
The situation is finalized and there's no going back

Thunder rumbling, castles crumbling
Symbolic representation of the difficulties and challenges faced

I am trying to hold on
I am struggling to survive or persevere through the challenge

God knows that I tried, seeing the bright side
Even though I tried to remain positive, the situation was too difficult to overcome

But I'm not blind anymore
I am no longer going to ignore the truth or reality
