Stay Awake
Lone Coast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and all i feel about is you
i throw it away
I've moved on someone new
all i know is
everything is gone
and i feel so free
im sick and all i want
to think about, a place of where to be
pick my heart back up
and close my eyes to see
be with me when im not awake
give me friends
someone to go
be with me if i find a way
taken back my heart to stone
if i stay awake, if i stay awake
if i stay awake, if i stay awake
i find my own way
to find you when im not awake
the colors they fade
everytime you turn away
all i know is
everything is gone
and i feel so free
im sick and all i want
is to find something
to think about, a place of where to be
pick my heart back up
and close my eyes to see
be with me when im not awake
give me friends
someone to go
be with me if i find a way
taken back my heart to stone
if i stay awake, if i stay awake
if i stay awake, if i stay awake
everything I've ever know
everywhere i want to go
everything i want to be
i could call now
might be come to me
everything I've ever know
anywhere i want to go
everything i want to be
i could call now
might be come to me
be with me when im not awake
give me friends
someone to go
be with me if i find a way
taken back my heart to stone
everything I've ever know
get my heart back to stone
everywhere i want to go
get back my heart to stone
everything i want to be
get back my heart to stone
if i stay awake, if i stay awake
get back to me
The lyrics of Lone Coast's song Stay Awake suggest that the singer has lost someone they care deeply about but has moved on to someone new. However, even though they have moved on, the singer still feels a sense of loss and emptiness. They want to find something to focus on or a place to be to distract themselves from these feelings. The singer also mentions wanting friends, wanting someone to be there for them when they're not awake.
The repeated phrase "taken back my heart to stone" implies that the singer has gone through a painful experience that has caused them to shut themselves off emotionally or harden their heart. They are trying to cope with the pain by staying awake, being mindful of their surroundings and actively seeking distraction.
The lyrics may resonate with people who have had to cope with heartbreak and loss, and how it can take a toll on one's mental and emotional well-being. The theme of seeking distraction also touches on the idea of escapism, where one tries to avoid dealing with their feelings and emotions by focusing on external factors.
