Wake Me Up
Aloe Blacc (By Alexis Castro & Agustin Mallea DJ's) 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 to Aloe Blacc Feat. Avicii's "Wake Me Up" reflect the theme of being lost and searching for oneself. The opening lines, "Feeling my way through the darkness, guided by a beating heart" suggest that the singer is unsure of their path in life and is following their intuition to find their way. These lines are followed by the sentiment that the singer knows where to start their journey, but cannot predict the destination. The second verse continues this notion of uncertainty, with the singer feeling caught up in a dream and unsure of what lies ahead.


In the chorus, the singer asks to be woken up when their journey is over and they have gained wisdom and experience. The repetition of the line "All this time I was finding myself and I didn't know I was lost" highlights the idea that sometimes we can become so lost in the chaos of life that we forget who we are and what truly matters. The last verse expresses a desire to live life with a sense of adventure and freedom, wishing to stay young and not be afraid to take risks.


Overall, "Wake Me Up" is about the journey of self-discovery and the realization that we are all searching for something in life. The song encourages the listener to embrace their inner compass and pursue their dreams, even if it means stepping into the unknown.


Line by Line Meaning

Feeling my way through the darkness
Navigating the unknown


Guided by a beating heart
Letting my passion lead the way


I can't tell where the journey will end
Uncertainty about the destination


But I know where to start
Confident in the beginning


They tell me I'm too young to understand
Doubts about my knowledge and experience


They say I'm caught up in a dream
Criticism about my aspirations


Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Realization of missed opportunities if I don't take action


Well that's fine by me
Accepting the consequences of inaction


So wake me up when it's all over
Asking to be alerted when the journey is complete


When I'm wiser and I'm older
Aspiration for personal growth


All this time I was finding myself
Discovering my true identity


And I didn't know I was lost
Realizing the need for self-discovery


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


But I only have two hands
Recognizing limitations


I hope I get the chance to travel the world
Longing for new experiences


But I don't have any plans
Not being constrained by a set path


I wish that I could stay forever this young
Nostalgia for youthfulness


Not afraid to close my eyes
Embracing the unknown


Life's a game made for everyone
Everyone has the opportunity to play


And love is the prize
The ultimate reward in life


I didn't know I was lost
Repeating the realization from earlier


I didn't know I was lost
Repeating the realization from earlier


I didn't know I was lost
Repeating the realization from earlier


I didn't know I was lost
Repeating the realization from earlier


So wake me up when it's all over
Repeating the request from earlier


When I'm wiser and I'm older
Repeating the aspiration from earlier


All this time I was finding myself
Repeating the discovery from earlier


And I didn't know I was lost
Repeating the realization from earlier
