WAKE ME UP
Acivii Ft. Aloe Blacc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Acivii Ft. Aloe Blacc's song Wake Me Up is a song about finding oneself and embracing life. The lyrics describe a journey through darkness, where the singer is guided by a beating heart. The journey is an adventure in which the singer does not know where it will end but knows where to start. People around him call him young and tell him that he is living in a dream. However, he does not want to miss out on life and is willing to open up his eyes to avoid losing any moment of it.
The chorus repeats the phrase “So wake me up when it's all over, When I'm wiser and I'm older.” This phrase is a metaphor for being awakened to life at a later stage, when one has gained valuable experiences and can look back on life with more wisdom. The lyrics also reflect on the fact that the singer tried to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders, but he only has two hands. He hopes to travel the world but has no plans. He wishes to remain young forever and not be afraid to close his eyes to life.
The lyrics emphasize that life is a game made for everyone, and love is the prize. The song encourages listeners to find themselves, embrace life as it comes, and not be afraid to take risks. Overall, the song is about living life to the fullest, enjoying every moment, and finding oneself to be better prepared for the future.
