Wide Awake
Frazier Chorus Lyrics

I'm wide awake
I am fully conscious and aware of my surroundings

I was in the dark
I didn't know the truth about the situation

I was falling hard
I was becoming deeply involved and invested in something

With an open heart
I was approaching the situation with vulnerability and sincerity

How did I read the stars so wrong
How did I misinterpret the signs and signals that were presented to me

And now it's clear to me
Now I understand the reality of the situation

That everything you see
Not everything is what it appears to be

Ain't always what it seems
Things can be deceiving

I was dreaming for so long
I was holding onto false hope and expectations for an extended period

I wish I knew then
If only I had been aware of the truth at that time

What I know now
The knowledge and understanding I have gained from my experiences

Wouldn't dive in
I wouldn't have become so deeply and quickly invested in the situation

Wouldn't bow down
I wouldn't have submitted or given up so easily

Gravity hurts
The negative consequences of reality can be harsh and painful

You made it so sweet
I was deceived into thinking the situation was positive and beneficial

Till I woke up on
Until I became aware of the reality of the situation

On the concrete
I hit rock bottom and was forced to confront the truth

Falling from cloud nine
Experiencing a rapid and intense fall from a high point or situation

Crashing from the high
Experiencing a harsh and sudden end to a positive situation

I'm letting go tonight
I am finally coming to the realization that I need to move on and let go of the situation

Not losing any sleep
I am not losing any more time or energy on this situation

Picked up every piece
I am actively working to put myself back together

And landed on my feet
I have managed to come out of the situation safe and sound

Need nothing to complete myself, no
I do not need anyone or anything to make me feel whole or complete

Yeah, I am born again
I have been reborn and given a fresh start

Out of the lion's den
Out of a dangerous or difficult situation

I don't have to pretend
I no longer have to force myself to believe or act a certain way

And it's too late
The situation has reached its conclusion and cannot be changed

The story's over now, the end
The situation has come to a definite and final end

Thunder rumbling
A metaphor for the sound of danger and warning

Castles crumbling
A metaphor for a situation or perception falling apart

I am trying to hold on
I am attempting to cling to the situation or my previous perception of it

God knows that I tried
I have done everything in my power to make this work

Seeing the bright side
Attempting to find the positive aspects of the situation

But I'm not blind anymore
I am no longer deluded by false hope or perception
