Woke Up This Morning
Nickelback Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Already said goodbye, nothin' left to say
A tiny church a tiny town and not a tear was spent
Not how I wanted it, I'm hating all of this
Well I'm hating, all of this
I'm hating, all of this
All of this, all of thisNow I know why, I hide my love from you some days
No, I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me
Now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
I've been a loser all my life, I'm not about to change
If you don't like it, there's the door, nobody made you stay
Ain't a woman on the planet who can deal with it
Just how I wanted it, I'm hating all of this
Well I'm hating, all of this
I'm hating, all of this
All of this, all of this
Now I know why, I hide my love from you some days
No, I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Looks like you found me
Now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
All of this, all of this
Now I know why, I hide my love from you some days
No, I don't mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along and tore this wall down around me
Now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
The lyrics to Nickelback's song Woke Up This Morning talk about the feeling of hatred, loss, and despair. The singer of the song is attending a funeral and says his final goodbyes to someone on their early grave. The scene is set in a tiny church in a small town where people do not show much emotion or leave any tears. The singer seems to be struggling to come to terms with the loss and feels a sense of hatred about the situation.
The song takes an interesting turn with the lyrics "Now I know why, I hide my love from you some days." This line seems to suggest that the singer had feelings for the person who passed away and was hiding them. He did not express them and now regrets not doing so. However, after this revelation, the singer appears to have found love again. He says, "You came along and tore this wall down around me, looks like you found me". The song ends with the realization that his newfound love is the reason for his emotional turmoil.
The song seems to deal with themes of love, loss, and regret. It is a somber song, with slow, heavy guitar riff and Chad Kroeger's deep voice delivering the lyrics with passion. Fans often appreciate Nickelback's lyrics as they are relatable and introspective.
