Don't Wake Me Up
J.d. Jaber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm thinking about my soul
Spending my whole life
I'm playing just a role
Dreams come together
They're breakin' down the line
I'm waiting for my time
I feel the magic
Why don't you let me stay
Playing the same song
With nothing new to say
Here's no tomorrow
I'm sitting on the line
We can just live and rime
Oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh
Oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh
Dreams come together
They're breakin' down the line
I'm waiting for my time
Don't wake me up
You make me feel so lonely
Don't wake me up
You make me feel so sad
Don't wake me up
It's something like a fever
Don't wake me up
It's something like a cry
Won't I remember
The day I run away
Won't I forget it
There's nothing more to say
Have no tomorrow
Have no yesterday
I'm living for today
Oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh
Oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh
Dreams come together
They're breakin' down the line
I'm waiting for my time
Don't wake me up
You make me feel so lonely
Don't wake me up
You make me feel so sad
Don't wake me up
It's something like a fever
Don't wake me up
It's something like a cry
Don't wake me up
You make me feel so lonely
Don't wake me up
You make me feel so sad
Don't wake me up
It's something like a fever
Don't wake me up
It's something like a cry
Oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh
Oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh, oh - oh
Here down the shoreline
I'm thinking about my soul
Spending my whole life
I'm playing just a role
Dreams come together
They're breakin' down the line
I'm waiting for my time
I feel the magic
Why don't you let me stay
Playing the same song
With nothing new to say
Here's no tomorrow
I'm sitting on the line
We can just live and rime
Don't wake me up
You make me feel so lonely
Don't wake me up

Don't wake me up
It's something like a cry
Don't wake me up
You make me feel so lonely
Don't wake me up
You make me feel so sad
Don't wake me up
It's something like a fever
Don't wake me up

The lyrics of J.d. Jaber's song "Don't Wake Me Up" convey a sense of yearning for escape, a desire to remain in a state of perpetual dreaming where there is no tomorrow or yesterday, just the present moment. The singer is depicted sitting on a shoreline, contemplating their soul, and playing a role in life without real purpose. Dreams are breaking down the line as they wait for their time to come, feeling the magic but with nothing new to say. The singer does not want to be awakened, as it makes them feel lonely, sad, and feverish, almost as if they are crying.
The song can be read as a commentary on the futility of life when one feels trapped and lacks direction. Dreams, which usually represent hope and possibilities, are breaking down, and time is going by while the singer waits for something to happen. The desire not to be woken up can also be understood as a wish to avoid reality, with its inevitable disappointments and limitations.
Additionally, the repetition of certain verses and choruses throughout the song can signify the monotony and sameness of life without new experiences or perspectives. It is a longing for change, but not knowing how to achieve that change.
Line by Line Meaning
Here down the shoreline
As I stand here next to the shoreline
I'm thinking about my soul
I contemplate my inner self
Spending my whole life
I've lived my entire existence
I'm playing just a role
I'm merely fulfilling a part in this world
Dreams come together
Aspirations unite
They're breakin' down the line
But they're struggling to materialize
I'm waiting for my time
I await my chance to shine
I feel the magic
I sense something extraordinary
Why don't you let me stay
Why can't I savor this feeling longer?
Playing the same song
Repeating the same routine
With nothing new to say
Without anything fresh to express
Here's no tomorrow
There's no certainty of a future
I'm sitting on the line
I'm stuck in a state of indecision
We can just live and rime
Let's exist and flow rhythmically
Don't wake me up
Don't snap me out of this
You make me feel so lonely
You instill a sense of isolation within me
You make me feel so sad
You fill me with melancholy
It's something like a fever
This feels similar to an ailment
It's something like a cry
It resembles the sound of weeping
Won't I remember
Will I not recall
The day I run away
The moment I escape my current existence
Won't I forget it
Will I not erase it from my memory
There's nothing more to say
There's no words left to articulate
Have no tomorrow
There's no certainty of a future
Have no yesterday
There's no absolute past
I'm living for today
I'm presently alive and relishing it

@MoCat89
There's something very specific about the 80s music. There's such a drive, you can't describe it. It gives so much of energy, it makes you dance.
