Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and watch it break a bite so slow
I can see the spikes go out
I don´t wanna let you go
ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
lie down till the morning light
ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
and if I fall asleep tonight
make it last forever
Wake me up
time can make it better
Wake me up
we belong together
so long so long so long
We in my heart today
came the die do way
it crashed down and it swept away
all my demons of yesterday
ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
lie down till the morning light
ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
and if I fall asleep tonight
Wake me up
make it last forever
Wake me up
time can make it better
Wake me up
we belong together
so long so long so long
I breath in I breath out
I can´t belive
I´m drowning into deep
go fall asleep
Wake me up
make it last forever
Wake me up
time can make it better
Wake me up
we belong together
so long so long
so long so long
soo long so long so long
The lyrics of Charley Ann's song "Wake Me Up" paint a picture of someone who is longing to hold onto a precious moment forever. The first verse talks about waiting for the stars to fall and watching them break apart slowly, and this can be interpreted as a metaphor for how people want time to slow down and hold onto happy moments. The repeated phrase "Lie down till the morning light" might imply a reference to staying up all night talking or being with someone they love until morning.
In the chorus, the singer repeats the phrase "Wake me up" three times, indicating that they want to be woken up from a dreamlike state to live in the present with the person they care for. The lyrics suggest an inner conflict where the singer wants to savor the moment but at the same time is afraid to lose it. This can be seen in the line "I don´t wanna let you go" which shows how the singer wishes to hold on to the person or the experience they are going through.
The second verse talks about how the singer's heart has been healed from past traumas and how they have found solace in the present moment with their partner. The line "all my demons of yesterday" clearly shows that the singer has moved on from their past and is living in the present moment. The repeated "so long" at the end of the chorus could be interpreted as a double meaning of "farewell" to the past and "hello" to the future.
