Wake Me Up
Aloha from Hell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake me up. This pain is just too real.
The fear is destroying me.

A boy, a girl loved each other. I loved so true.
She thought she'd love him forever. He talks so smooth.
She heard him say: "Love you always. Forever stay."
Now she wakes up, tired. It's a sound of a baby.
She's all alone and he is gone.

Wake me up. This pain is just too real.
The fear is destroying me.
Wake me up. This pain is just too real.
The fear is destroying me.

Now fear is strong and controles her. What will she do?
She is afraid, so afraid for the future.

She tries to hide her tears inside.

Wake me up. This pain is just too real.
The fear is destroying me.
Wake me up. This pain is just too real.
The fear is destroying me.

One life, it's yours. Don't fake it.
Nightmares don't last, just take it.
We are so young. I know you.
One lie is strong. Stay true, too.

Wake me up.
Wake me up. This pain is just too real.
The fear is destroying me.
Wake me up. This pain is just too real.




The fear is destroying me.
Wake me up.

Overall Meaning

The Aloha from Hell song "Wake Me Up" speaks of the pain, fear and devastation that can come from broken promises and shattered dreams. The opening lines "Wake me up. This pain is just too real. The fear is destroying me" convey a sense of hopelessness and despair. The singer of the song loved deeply and believed in her relationship with her partner, but it all turned out to be a lie. The lyrics go on to describe the couple's love for each other, but the boy's smooth talk and charm was all a facade. He made promises of forever, but he eventually left her all alone with a child. This incident has shaken her to the core and the fear is consuming her. She's lost her faith in love and is constantly haunted by the lies and betrayal of her ex-partner.
