Waking Up Tired
Few and Far Between Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You only, you always
Time comes i rise
Tired i race sunlight again
I step outside
Under new moon i ride
And i'll see you on the flipside
Follow my steps to my room
After all this time i'm here with you
The lyrics of Few and Far Between's song "Waking Up Tired" hints at the idea of reincarnation, starting with the line "Goodnight old one." The singer is bidding farewell to their previous life, reconciling with the fact that they have lived before and must move on to another chapter. The line "time comes I rise" implies that this is a continuous cycle of birth and rebirth, similar to the continuous rising and setting of the sun. The singer is tired and racing against the sunlight, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the limited duration of a human life, as we try to make the most of our time on earth.
As the singer steps outside under the new moon, they seem to be alluding to the possibility of a fresh start. The line "And I'll see you on the flipside" suggests the idea of crossing over into another world, possibly an afterlife. However, the line "Follow my steps to my room" brings the listener back to reality, implying that maybe the afterlife is just an illusion, and our existence is a perpetual cycle of life and death. The final line "After all this time I'm here with you" can be interpreted in many ways. It could be the singer addressing a loved one or a higher power, or it could be a reference to the constant nature of life itself.
Overall, Few and Far Between's "Waking Up Tired" provides a thought-provoking take on the universality of existence with its deep and reflective lyrics.

Goodnight old one
Farewell dear past, it's time to say goodnight
You only, you always
You were the one and only, always on my mind
Time comes i rise
The time has come for me to wake up
Tired i race sunlight again
Exhausted, I hurry to get ahead of the sun once more
I step outside
I leave the indoors
Under new moon i ride
I journey beneath the new moon's light
And i'll see you on the flipside
I'll meet you on the other side of this life's events
Follow my steps to my room
Trail me back to my personal space
I'm in my bed as stars dim their lights
As the stars reduce their intensity, I'm already in bed
After all this time i'm here with you
Despite everything that's happened, I'm still here by your side
