WAKE ME UP
Boyce Avenue Feat. Jenel Garcia 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
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
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
Boyce Avenue’s song “Wake Me Up” is about finding oneself in life. The lyrics speak about feeling lost and unsure of the journey’s destination but having a beating heart that guides one's path. The singer acknowledges being told they are too young to understand life and told they are caught up in a dream. However, they are willing to take their time and enjoy the journey.
The lyrics then continue with the singer expressing not wanting to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders with the hopes to travel the world someday. They know that life can pass by quickly and life's a game that's made for everyone; love is the prize. They end on the note that they know where to start and to wake them up when they are older and wiser.
The song's message is that life is a journey, and at times it can seem dark and uncertain, but one needs to follow their heart and trust the journey. Sometimes it takes getting lost to find oneself. The singer wants to be awakened when they have gone through life's journey and when they are older with more experience, they will be able to recognize the importance of the path they took.

Me Acorde (part. Avicii)
Sentindo o meu caminho através da escuridão
Guiados por um coração batendo, eu não posso dizer que a viagem vai acabar
Mas eu sei onde começa
Eles me dizem que eu sou muito jovem para entender
Eles dizem que eu estou preso em um sonho
Bem, a vida vai passar por mim, se eu não abrir meus olhos
Bem, está bom pra mim
Então me acorde quando tudo tiver acabado
Quando eu estiver mais sábio e mais velho
Todo esse tempo eu estava me encontrando
E eu não sabia que eu estava perdido
Eu tentei carregar o peso do mundo
Mas eu só tenho duas mãos
Espero ter a oportunidade de viajar pelo mundo
E eu não tenho nenhum plano
Eu desejo que eu poderia ficar para sempre este jovem
Não tenho medo de fechar os olhos
A vida é um jogo feito para todos
E o amor é o prêmio
Então me acorde quando estiver tudo acabado
Quando eu estiver mais sábio e mais velho
Todo esse tempo eu estava me encontrando
E eu não sabia que eu estava perdido
Eu não sabia que eu estava perdido
Eu não sabia que eu estava perdido
Eu não sabia que eu estava perdido
Eu não sabia que eu estava perdido
