Wake Me Up
Aloe Blacc (By Alexis Castro & Agustin Mallea DJ's) 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
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.
