Wide Awake
Navy Gangs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics in Navy Gangs's song "Wide Awake" explore the feeling of being completely alert and conscious. The first line, "I'm awake, I'm wide awake," is an emphasis on how the singer is not only alert but hyperaware of their surroundings. They express a reluctance to sleep, with the lines "I'll never sleep, I'll never go back to bed now," indicating that they are refusing to give in to rest. The lyrics go on to describe the singer's mental state; "I'm wide awake in my head now" suggests that while their body may be tired, their thoughts are racing and impossible to ignore.
The second half of the lyrics shift to a more negative tone, with the lines "Now I'm feeling drained, I'm out of patience, I feel so left out." These lyrics indicate that while the singer may be alert, they are also feeling drained and out of energy. They are struggling to keep up with their surroundings and are feeling left out of the action. The combination of these lyrics suggests a sense of restlessness and anxiety, implying that this heightened state of alertness is not necessarily a positive experience.
