WAKE ME UP
Micron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
(Call my name and save me from the dark)
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without thought, without voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life
Micron's song "Wake me up" is a powerful ballad that speaks of a person who is lost and numb, feeling like they have no soul and that they are living a lie. The lyrics begin by asking "How can you see into my eyes like open doors?", implying that the person they are speaking to has the ability to understand them at a deep level. They describe their current state as being "somewhere cold" where their spirit is sleeping, waiting for someone to find and lead it back home. The person they are addressing is begged to wake them up and save them from the darkness they are experiencing.
The chorus of the song repeats the same plea, asking to be brought back to life and saved from the nothingness they have become. The second verse speaks of the realization that they were living a lie, and that they need the person they are addressing to breathe life into them and make them feel real. The bridge of the song talks about the pain of being frozen inside without love or touch, saying that the person they are addressing is the only one who can bring life among the dead.
The final verse sees the singer expressing their gratitude for the person who has been there all along, even though they couldn't see it. They vow to open their eyes and see everything that they have been missing, asking to be brought back to life once again.
Overall, "Wake me up" is a song about feeling lost and numb, and the power that one person can have to bring another back to life.
