Wake Me Up
Avicii -(David A Club Remix) 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
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is a 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
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
“Wake Me Up” by Avicii is a song about self-discovery and the search for purpose in life. The lyrics describe the journey of the singer, who feels lost in the darkness of his mind and emotions, but is guided by his beating heart towards the light. The singer acknowledges that he doesn't know where his journey will take him, but he knows where to start, and he's not afraid to take risks and follow his dreams. The song encourages listeners to live in the present moment, to pursue their passions, and to open their eyes to the beauty of life.
The chorus repeats the phrase “wake me up when it's all over,” which can be interpreted in different ways. It could be a request to be awakened from a dream, a metaphor for being awakened to a new reality, or a plea for someone to help the singer find his way out of the darkness. The song suggests that the journey to self-discovery is a lifelong process, and that we are all lost in some way until we find our true purpose in life.
Overall, “Wake Me Up” is a powerful and uplifting song that encourages people to be true to themselves, to pursue their dreams, and to embrace the journey of self-discovery with open hearts and minds.
