Fast Awake
Bryde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I let you find me in this state
Drank the day into my body weight
Find me another love
Will you find me another love
All these sirens take control
As I spin from wall to wall
We are fast awake
From those shoulders I can rest
Feel the racing of your chest
Get me out of here
Can I disappear
Pull me to my feet
Something changed my mind
Maybe I don't always want to do what's right
All the heavens watching as we fight
Swim against the tide
As we fight, we swim
All these sirens take control
As I spin from wall to wall
We are fast awake
In this careless state
From those shoulders I can rest
Feel the racing of your chest
Get me out of here
Can I disappear
Pull me to my feet
And it won't be like this
When I see you made up, up, my weakness
I'll be dancing in my head through all my secrets
I'll be dancing in the meadow through this unrest
And it won't be like this
When I see you made up, up, my weakness
I'll be dancing in the meadow through all my secrets
I'll be dancing in the meadow through my weakness
And it won't be like this
When I see you in the meadow through all my secrets
I'll be dancing in the meadow through all my weakness
In "Fast Awake", Bryde reflects on a tumultuous relationship, one where she has made mistakes and allowed someone to find her in a vulnerable state. She describes drinking the day into her body weight and feeling out of control. The repeated refrain of "find me another love" speaks to a desire to move on and start anew. However, there is a sense that she is caught in a cycle and can't break free, as the sirens take control and she spins from wall to wall. Despite this chaos, there are moments of comfort and intimacy with her partner, as she rests her head on their shoulders and feels the racing of their chest. In the bridge, she lays bare her vulnerability and acknowledges that she doesn't always want to do what's right. She wants to swim against the tide and fight for this relationship, even as all the heavens watch. The song ends on a hopeful note, where she imagines dancing in a meadow, freed from her secrets and weaknesses.
