Get Wise
Atlantis Awaits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now you know!
I can feel this crawling
Under my skin,
Is this all in my head?
Now you know!
It's getting harder to breath
And i'm starting to see
This all was a fault of my own!

Sometimes it's hard to get wise
Dealing with vices when problems collide.
And it keeps me away at night
And he's thinking it's hard to get wise.

Sometimes i feel like i'm angry
Keeping emotions inside
I let it go with my pride
Hunting me day and night.
Now it's eating my heart and it's eating my soul

And I still love you!

And it's not burden i have to bear
I'm in so deep, I can hardly stand
But it's your love in you
And it's not mine,
it's not mine
But it's your love in you
It's not mine
It's not mine

Sometimes i feel like i'm breaking
I'm leaving out all my fears
It's so????
To see them, how I made it here
Made it here

I still love you!

And it's not burden i have to bear
I'm in so deep, I can hardly stand
But it's your love in you
And it's not mine, it's not mine
It's not burden i have to bare
I'm in so deep, I can hardly stand
But it's your love in you

Now you know!
I can fell this crawling
Under my skin.
Is this all in my head?
Now you know!
It's getting harder to breath
And i'm starting to see:
This all was a fault of my own!

I still love you!

And it's not burden i have to bear
I'm in so deep, I can hardly standBut it's your love in you
And it's not mine, it's not mine
It's not burden i have to bare
I'm in so deep, I can hardly stand
But it's your love in you




And it's not mine, it's not mine
It's not mine

Overall Meaning

The song "Get Wise" is a reflection of the struggle to overcome personal vices and emotional turmoil. The phrase "Now you know" repeats several times, emphasizing the singer's desire for acknowledgment and understanding. The lyrics describe the physical and emotional toll of these struggles, including a creeping feeling under the skin, difficulty breathing, and sleeplessness. The chorus acknowledges the difficulty of "getting wise," or overcoming these vices, particularly as they collide with other problems. The singer's anger and fear are also present, but they ultimately admit that it is their own fault.


Despite these difficulties, the singer declares their love for an unidentified person. However, they acknowledge that the love they feel is not their own; it belongs to the person they love. This love is both a burden and a lifeline for the singer, as they are "in so deep" that they can "hardly stand."


The song's repetition of phrases like "now you know" and "it's not mine" lends a sense of desperation and isolation to the lyrics. Although the singer longs for understanding, they also acknowledge that these struggles must be conquered alone.

Tough to call this, but I think this may be the best underground Aussie track I've heard. It's so damn good. Hope this and Self Sabotage will be on the album!
