Wake up My Love
Alice Samoilova & Sylvester Schlegel & Billie The Vision & The Dancers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm trying hard to figure out what's going on
I watch the news and I shake my head
Lily says “It's insane, have you heard about the hurricane”
Been going down some rocky roads before
but I never thought we'd experience a world war
Watch your back Lily they're close behind
So wake up my love
Wake wake up my love
Wake up my love
Wake wake up my love
So wake up my love
It's just a bad dream
The doctor said to me “You've got the HIV
Your sons and your daughters got the virus too”
The pope is after us wants to stab his cane trough me
“You've got it coming this is justice the way it should be”
Jesus Christ Lily I'm still shivering
I dreamed about the hard rain he's talked about
It's just a dream to me but I think eventually
If we don't do something now it will come true
So wake up my love...
So wake up my love It's just a bad dream
Wake up my love It's just a bad dream
No wake up my love It ain't a bad dream
The lyrics of "Wake up My Love" by Alice Samoilova & Sylvester Schlegel & Billie The Vision & The Dancers convey a sense of disbelief and concern about the tumultuous state of the world. The opening lines depict the singer trying to make sense of the chaos, watching the news and feeling overwhelmed by the events. The mention of the hurricane serves as a metaphor for the destructive forces impacting society.
The song then takes a more personal turn as the singer reveals a diagnosis of HIV, extending to their children as well. This revelation is accompanied by the pope's condemnation and a sense of impending doom. There is a reference to a dream about a hard rain, alluding to the apocalyptic predictions often associated with such imagery.
Despite the bleak outlook, there is an urgent plea for the listener to wake up from the nightmare. The repeated chorus emphasizes the hope that it is all just a bad dream, urging the addressee to confront the reality and take action. The final line, "It ain't a bad dream," challenges the notion that the troubles are merely a product of imagination, reinforcing the urgency to acknowledge and combat the issues at hand.
Overall, "Wake up My Love" talks about the disheartening state of the world and implores the listener to wake up from the illusion and actively engage in addressing the problems.
