Wake Up
Matt Defreitas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I stood right here
When you thought there was no one
I was still right here
You were scared, but I told you
"Open up your eyes"
Never stopped being someone who could love you well
Had to show you the hard way
Revelations and heartaches make you realize
I was always in front of you
So wake up
Your sleeping heart
I know sometimes we'll be afraid
But no more playing safe, my dear
I'm here
So wake up
You've been deep in a coma
But I stood right here
When you thought there was no one
I was still right here
You were scared, but I told you
"Open up your eyes"
I was always in front of you
So wake up
Your sleeping heart
I know sometimes we'll be afraid
But no more playing safe, my dear
So wake up
Your sleeping heart
And we will dream a dream for us
that no one else can touch, my dear
I'm here
So wake up
Your sleeping heart
And we will dream a dream for us
That no one else can touch, my dear
I'm here
So wake up
The lyrics to Matt DeFreitas's "Wake Up" tell the story of a person who has been in a coma for some time, and upon waking up, they find someone who has been by their side the whole time. The person who has been steadfast, offering love and support all throughout the coma, is now encouraging the coma patient to "wake up" their sleeping heart. The song is a powerful message of hope and encouragement, urging the listener to not be afraid and to embrace their full potential - to "dream a dream" that is uniquely theirs.
The song seems to be addressing someone who has let fear and uncertainty hold them back, and the message is that the person never really needed to be afraid, because love was right there all along. The lyrics encourage the listener to wake up to the possibilities that life can offer, to take risks and not play it safe. The line "Revelations and heartaches make you realize" might suggest that it often takes difficult experiences for people to fully appreciate the good things in their life. Overall, the song tells a deeply emotional story of love, hope and encouragement in the face of adversity.

Everybody gets high sometimes, you know
What else can we do when we're feeling low?
So take a deep breath and let it go
You shouldn't be drowning on your own
And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you
And I hope you know
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know?
It's how we learn and how we grow
And I wanna lay with you 'til I'm old
You shouldn't be fighting on your own
And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you
And I hope you know
I won't let go
(I won't let go, no no, no no no no)
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
Come on, come on
Save me from my rocking boat
I just wanna stay afloat
I'm all alone
And I hope, I hope someone come and take me home
Somewhere I can rest my soul
I need to know you won't let go
I won't let go
(I won't let go, no no, no no no no)
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go
I won't let go
