You Got Me Out Of Bed
Goliath And The Giants Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world's inviting me to explore it's remanings, I ignore.
Then you got me out of bed, threw me on the way to find cure,
But all I got was memories to remind me of how you where.
I'm down for the count this time, Reelearning to walk.
I guess I'm beeing saved by the bell now again and again.
It's late but still as bright, I'm opening up a bottle of wine,
But not to share, yeah this one's mine, only mine.
I'm down for the count this time, Reelearning to walk
I'm down for the count this time, Reelearning how to walk
I'm down for the count this time, Reelearning to walk
I'm down for the count this time, Reelearning how to walk
The lyrics to "You Got Me Out Of Bed" by Goliath And The Giants are a reflection on two different moments in time. The first verse talks about a Wednesday afternoon where the singer is feeling unmotivated and uninterested in the world around them. However, someone comes into their life and "throws [them] on the way to find a cure". This person is a catalyst for change, but even though they try to find a solution, all they end up with are memories of how things used to be. In the chorus, the singer talks about how they are now "down for the count" and have to relearn how to walk. This can be interpreted both literally and metaphorically, as they feel defeated and have to start from scratch.
The second verse takes place on a Friday night, and the singer seems to be doing better than they were on Wednesday. They mention being "saved by the bell now again and again", which could refer to how they keep getting second chances to make things right in their life. They open up a bottle of wine but make it clear that they're not sharing it with anyone - this is something they are doing for themselves. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that the singer has hit rock bottom and is now having to start over.
Overall, the song is a raw and honest reflection on the struggles that come with trying to make meaningful changes in your life. It acknowledges the ups and downs of that journey, and how sometimes things don't go according to plan. At the same time, it celebrates the moments of hope and resilience that keep us going.
