Wake Up!
Brennan Heart & The Prophet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Hush little baby don't you cry
It is just a lullaby
Dreams of rainbows make you stop
I am here to wake you up
Somewhere over the rainbow
I am here to wake you up
I am here to wake you up
The lyrics in Brennan Heart & The Prophet's song Wake Up! are a clever reference to the classic song Over The Rainbow. Within the context of the song, the lyrics convey the message of the importance of waking up and realizing the beauty around us. The reference to "Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high" evokes an image of a far away and seemingly unattainable place, but one that we can see if we lift our heads and open our eyes. The reference to "a land that I heard of" seems to suggest that there is a world out there full of potential and wonder, waiting to be discovered.
The use of a lullaby in the lyrics is also significant. Lullabies are often used to soothe and calm children, and in this context, they represent the idea of being lulled into a state of complacency. The lyrics "Hush little baby don't you cry, it is just a lullaby" convey the message that we should not be satisfied with just dreaming of rainbows and a better life – we need to take action and wake up. The repetition of "I am here to wake you up" reinforces this message and gives it a sense of urgency.
