Wake Up
Mr. Wayfarer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You go to school with your head held down
You try to fit in but they push your out
Too many people put your face in the ground
You'll get them back you'll get them
Even if you gotta wait it out the rage is out
And you feel like you're worthless
When you're breakin' down
No one's around there's gotta be somethin' better than this
You wanna feel like you're livin'

Wake up wake up son it's just a voice in your head
Get up get up tell 'em what you should have said
I know they get to ya but you got a future
Don't let 'em take you done
Wake up wake up boy you're gonna live again
You think an attitude can make you cool
Sick and tired of being everyone's fool
You think daddy's gun is gonna erase all the scars and the pain
But you better weigh it out don't ever doubt
In one moment your life can change
It's easy now to live it down
You say you feel like a number now
But you're more than a number

You can waste your time try to




Find someone to blame and let it out
But all you need to hear is everything is gonna be fine

Lost in Thought

Chemist here: hydrofluoric acid is one of just a few chemicals that legitimately scare me.

If you get it on your skin, you have seconds to react to irrigate it and apply a neutralizing agent (calcium gluconate) before you get a fatal dose, but it won’t kill you immediately.

If it penetrated your skin before you neutralized it, you’ll get a delayed reaction and the false impression you’re fine, but it will dissolve your bones, and if it is absorbed into your bloodstream, it can cause cardiac arrest.

Inhaling the fumes can also cause cardiac arrest.

Even after a minor potential exposure, I was made to go to the ER and get an EKG (which came back normal; I likely was not exposed).

Just breathing in the fumes of Emilio’s dissolved body right now, Walt and Jesse need to get EKGs.

Because when God updated the simulation he forgot to update the code for plastic. But the players gave feed back it was more fun to store acid in containers so players can fling it at people and animals. Especially pandas.
