Waking Up
Mr. Little Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you don′t want caught up the stakes
Gotta lock the good outside my window
We run out of ground at the big big black
It's all looking bold with caffeine, yes it′s okay
Won't you take me there?
Floating in the air
When the night is young
Moving like we′re one
Dance until it′s gone
And I ain't waking up
And I ain′t waking up
And I ain't waking up
And I ain′t waking up
And I ain't waking up
And if they should let the lights die
Tied up through low, we′ve got the sky
Gotta lock the good out at my window
We run out of ground at the big big black
It's all looking bold with caffeine, yes it's okay
Won′t you take me there?
Floating in the air
I go solitare and I ain′t waking up
When the night is young
Moving like we're one
Dance until it′s gone
And I ain't waking up
You can wait unlock my way
Stay here
I′ll wait a thousand years
For you
I don't wanna have to wait
Stay here
I don′t wanna have to wait
For you
Won't you take me there?
Floating in the air
I go solitare and I ain't waking up
When the night is young
Moving like we′re one
Dance until it′s gone
And I ain't waking up
Won′t you take me there?
Floating in the air
I go solitare and I ain't waking up
When the night is young
Moving like we′re one
Dance until it's gone
And I ain′t waking up
And I ain't waking up
And I ain't waking up
And I ain′t waking up
The lyrics of Mr. Little Jeans’ song Waking Up speak about living in the moment and not wanting to let go of the feeling of euphoria. The singer admits to making the same mistakes but does not want to get caught up in the consequences of their actions. The line “gotta lock the good outside my window” suggests that the singer wants to shut out any negative feelings and focus on the positive ones. The phrase “we run out of ground at the big big black” could imply that the singer is trying to escape reality and venture into a dreamlike state where they can be free from their problems. The use of caffeine suggests that the singer is fuelled by the rush of adrenaline they get from the moment they are in.
The chorus urges the listener to “take me there, floating in the air” which could indicate that the singer wants to be taken away to a place where they feel weightless and free from the worries of the world. The line “I go solitaire and I ain’t waking up” suggests that the singer wants to go off on their own and stay in that moment forever. The phrase “moving like we’re one” could imply a sense of unity among people who are experiencing the same feeling of euphoria.
Overall, the song speaks to the human desire to escape reality and live in a moment of pure euphoria. The singer wants to be taken away to a place where they can be weightless and free from the worries of the world.

I know I made the same mistakes
I acknowledge that I have repeated my previous errors
For you don't want caught up the stakes
Because you don't want to risk everything
Gotta lock the good outside my window
I need to isolate myself from the positive things around me
We run out of ground at the big big black
We reach our limit in the vast darkness
It's all looking bold with caffeine, yes it's okay
Everything seems bright and exciting due to caffeine consumption
Won't you take me there?
Can you transport me to that place?
Floating in the air
Suspended in the atmosphere
I go solitare and I ain't waking up
I become isolated and refuse to awaken from this state
When the night is young
During the early hours of the night
Moving like we're one
Dancing in unison
Dance until it's gone
Continue dancing until we can no longer
And I ain't waking up
I refuse to come out of this state
You can wait unlock my way
You have the power to open up a path for me
Stay here
Remain by my side
I'll wait a thousand years
I am willing to wait an exceptionally long time
For you
In order to be with you
I don't wanna have to wait
I do not desire to wait
Won't you take me there?
Can you please take me there?
