WAKE ME UP
Acivii Ft. 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

Line by Line Meaning

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


Guided by a beating heart
Trusting intuition and inner desires


I can't tell where the journey will end
Uncertain of what the future holds


But I know where to start
Starting with what is known and familiar


They tell me I'm too young to understand
Being underestimated due to age


They say I'm caught up in a dream
Being criticized for having big aspirations


Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
There is a sense of urgency to pursue goals


Well that's fine by me
Accepting the risks and consequences of pursuing dreams


So wake me up when it's all over
Asking for a signal when goals are achieved


When I'm wiser and I'm older
Hoping to gain experience and maturity over time


All this time I was finding myself
Discovering who you are and what you want in life


And I didn't know I was lost
Feeling lost without realizing it


I tried carrying the weight of the world
Taking on too much responsibility


But I only have two hands
Being limited in what can be accomplished alone


I hope I get the chance to travel the world
Having a desire for adventure and exploration


But I don't have any plans
Not knowing what the future holds


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


Not afraid to close my eyes
Being unafraid of the unknown or uncertain


Life's a game made for everyone
Everyone has the opportunity to pursue their dreams


And love is the prize
The ultimate reward in life is love


I didn't know I was lost
Reiterating the feeling of being lost
