Wide Awake
Narwhal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all the things that no one knew
Don't make it hard to remember your name
Knowing I'm waking with you
Would a white dress and a silver ring make you believe?
(Chorus)
We're wide awake, let me feel you shake, let me feel you shaking me now
Hidden under covers, trying to escape
The light shining through
There's the sound of two beating hearts
And there's a million miles between me and you
Would a white dress and a silver ring make you believe?
(Chorus)
We're wide awake, let me feel you shake, let me feel you shaking me now
And we're wide awake now.
And I hope I don't make this awkward
When I won't be missing you
And I hope I dont make this awkward
When I wont be missing you
When were wide awake let me feel you
These lyrics from Narwhal's song "Wide Awake" are beautifully poetic and evoke a sense of longing and desire. The song is about being fully present in a moment with someone, feeling a deep connection, and wondering if that connection is strong enough to overcome any obstacles.
The first verse mentions breaking down cardboard and cellophane, which could symbolize the removal of barriers that prevent true intimacy and vulnerability. The lyrics then ask the listener not to make it hard to remember their name, perhaps indicating a fear of being forgotten or overlooked in the relationship. The line "knowing I'm waking with you" suggests a feeling of safety and comfort in the presence of the other person.
The chorus repeats the phrase "We're wide awake" and begs for the other person to shake the singer. This may represent a desire for the relationship to be more intense and passionate, with the singer yearning for a deeper connection. The second verse references hiding under covers to escape the light, which could suggest a sense of protectiveness or a desire for privacy. The mention of two beating hearts highlights the idea of unity and shared experience, despite the physical distance between the two people.
Overall, "Wide Awake" is a beautiful and evocative song that captures the complexity of human connection and the power of being fully present in a moment with someone.
Line by Line Meaning
Break down the cardboard, and cellophane
Let go of all the superficial things and reveal your true self
It's all the things that no one knew
Let go of the past and start fresh
Don't make it hard to remember your name
Don't try to be someone you're not, stay true to yourself
Knowing I'm waking with you
Being with you gives me a sense of comfort and security
Would a white dress and a silver ring make you believe?
Do materialistic things matter when it comes to love and commitment?
Hidden under covers, trying to escape
Sometimes it's easier to hide from our problems instead of facing them head on
The light shining through
Despite the darkness that surrounds us, there is always a glimmer of hope
There's the sound of two beating hearts
The connection between two people is a powerful thing
And there's a million miles between me and you
Distance can be a barrier, but true love can overcome it
And I hope I don't make this awkward
I don't want to ruin the connection we have
When I won't be missing you
Even when we're apart, I still feel connected to you
When we're wide awake let me feel you
Being present in the moment with you is all I want
shake, let me feel you shaking me now
Your energy and passion is contagious and I want to experience it with you
And we're wide awake now.
We're fully present in this moment and nothing else matters
