Wake up
GP & The Episodes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't have no complaints against life's one way ride
I know I'm sleeping with an angel and this devil's in luck
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I've been dreaming for too long
I guess something's always wrong unless I
Wake up next to you
The summer's left a spell on us, magic and gold
The tarmac's cracked and shimmering up on the road
I know I'm walking with an angel down a hot avenue
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I've been dreaming for too long
I guess something's always wrong unless I
Wake up next to you, I wanna wake up
Wake up next to you
You know what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna pick up the telephone right now
And I'm gonna call Information
And I'll say to them
"Where is she right now?
'Cause I want her and I need her"
And I wanna hear her say
"Hey, baby, wake up"
Wake up next to you, I'm wanna wake up
Wake up next to you
Where is she right now?
'Cause I want her and I need her
And I wanna hear her say
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Gonna wake up, wake up, wake up
Gonna wake up, wake up, wake up
Gonna wake up, wake up, wake up
The lyrics to GP & The Episodes' song "Wake Up" touch on themes of love, longing, and the desire for connection. The singer speaks of their contentment with the world outside, but also admits to feeling unease and disconnection from life's "one way ride." They describe sleeping with an angel while also acknowledging that a devil is in luck. There is a sense of searching and a longing to wake up next to their loved one, to feel that magical connection and return from their dreams.
The second verse continues this theme, with the singer talking about the summer and the way it has left a "spell" on them. They mention walking with an angel down a "hot avenue," emphasizing this sense of walking through life with a divine presence by their side. However, the singer admits that they've been dreaming for too long and they long to wake up next to their loved one, to feel that sense of connection and belonging.
The final verse ramps up the urgency, with the singer saying they are going to pick up the phone and call information to find out where their loved one is. They want to hear her say "Hey, baby, wake up," which could be interpreted as a call to action for both lovers to wake up and live their lives fully in the world.
Overall, "Wake Up" is a song about feeling disconnected from the world and finding solace and connection in a loving relationship. It emphasizes the importance of waking up and engaging with the world, rather than dreaming through life.
