Wake Up
Girl Thing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what you're doing, make sense?
Greetings for the future; out the past
Life is only one, think about it
Right or wrong, they're almost uncertain
Go ahead, make your destiny
Present doesn't exist, now's already past

Good and bad, they in fact come together
Hate and love, walk around like friends

Tell me what you're doing, make sense?
Greetings for the future; out the past
Tell me what you're doing, make sense?
Greetings for the future; out the past

Feel the rain, breathe the wind, eat a lot
Face the Sun, get a tan soon you'll feel the best
Call the children, make a joke, help yourself
They're the teachers, learn with them, it's a wish of God

Good and bad, they in fact come together
Hate and love, walk around like friends

Tell me what you're doing, make sense?
Greetings for the future out the past
Tell me what you're doing, make sense?
Greetings for the future out the past

Life is only one, think about it
Right or wrong, they're almost uncertain
Go ahead, make your destiny
Present doesn't exist, now's already past

Tell me what you're doing, make sense?
Greetings for the future out the past




Tell me what you're doing, make sense?
Greetings for the future out the past

Overall Meaning

In Girl Thing's song "Wake Up," the lyrics offer a poignant message about life, time, and making the most of every moment. The song's chorus starts with the lines "Tell me what you're doing, make sense? Greetings for the future out the past." The first line asks the listener to reflect on what they are currently doing and if it aligns with their goals and aspirations. The second line acknowledges that the past cannot be changed, but the future can be shaped by the choices made in the present.


The following lines, "Life is only one, think about it. Right or wrong, they're almost uncertain. Go ahead, make your destiny. Present doesn't exist, now's already past," further encourage the listener to reflect on their life and the choices they have made. Life is finite, and it is essential to make the most of it. At the same time, there is no clear right or wrong direction, so every individual must create their own path. The present is fleeting, and every moment that passes becomes a part of the past. Therefore, it is essential to be present and mindful.


The rest of the song's lyrics offer advice on how to live life fully, such as feeling the rain, breathing the wind, and enjoying simple pleasures with loved ones. The lines "They're the teachers, learn with them, it's a wish of God" acknowledge the importance of learning from others, especially children, who can offer unique perspectives and insights.


Overall, "Wake Up" is a reminder to live in the present moment, make the most of life, and shape one's destiny through mindful choices.
