Bring Me to Life
Bury Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Dani
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
Jason
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch, without your love
Darling, only you are the life among the dead
Dani
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
Jason
I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Dani
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
(Don't let me die here) There must be something more
Bring me to life
Jason
(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
The lyrics of Bury Tomorrow's song Bring Me to Life describe a person who feels lost and empty, without any purpose or meaning in life, until someone else comes and helps them wake up from their slumber. This other person is described as being able to see right through them, as if their eyes are "like open doors" that lead to the singer's core, where they have become "so numb." The singer's "spirit" is "sleeping somewhere cold" until this other person finds it and leads them back home. The chorus of the song repeats the plea for this other person to wake them up, bid their blood to run, and save them from the person they have become, someone who is "nothing."
The second part of the song is sung by a different vocalist, Dani, and describes the aftermath of the singer's awakening. They realize that they were living a lie and couldn't see the truth until this other person entered their life. They are now asking this person not to leave them and to make them real. Jason returns in the third verse, describing how he has been sleeping for a thousand years and needs to open his eyes to everything. He has been without a thought, voice, or soul, and is begging not to die in the darkness. The song ends with the chorus once more, sung together by both vocalists, bringing the song to an emotional and cathartic conclusion.
Line by Line Meaning
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
You have a deep understanding of me and can see into my soul
Leading you down into my core
Taking you to the essence of who I am
Where I've become so numb
I have lost touch with my emotions and feel nothing
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
I feel empty and lifeless, my soul is dormant in a cold place
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Only you can bring me back to life and awaken my soul
Wake me up inside
Make me feel alive again
I can't wake up
I am unable to do it on my own
Call my name and save me from the dark
Rescue me from my despair and loneliness
Bid my blood to run
Give me the energy to live and feel
Before I come undone
Before I fall apart completely
Save me from the nothing I've become
Rescue me from the emptiness and lack of purpose in my life
Now that I know what I'm without
Realizing what I have lost and what I need to survive
You can't just leave me
I need you in my life to survive
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life and make me feel alive
Bring me to life
Revive me and give me a reason to live
Frozen inside without your touch, without your love
Feeling cold and lifeless without your affection and care
Darling, only you are the life among the dead
You are the one who can bring vitality and meaning to my life
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Realizing that I was blind to what I truly needed
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I was unaware of your presence and how much I needed you
I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
I have been emotionally dormant and lost for a long time
Got to open my eyes to everything
I need to wake up and see the world in a new way
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Feeling devoid of reason, expression, and vitality
Don't let me die here
Save me from my despair and helplessness
There must be something more
There has to be a reason or purpose to living
