Wide Awake
Petit biscuit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't promise we'll be okay
But I'll keep fighting 'til the end
To make you feel safe from me
To make you feel safe from me
I made the darkness sleep again
To flee the creatures from this landWe're now safe but I can't forget
Oh, hard a fear
The end

The repetition of "To make you feel safe from me" emphasizes the singer's desire to protect their partner from their own fears and worries.
"I made the darkness sleep again" is another oxymoron that refers to the singer's ability to push away their own negative thoughts and feelings. They feel like they have created a safe space for their partner, but they still can't forget their own fears of losing them.

Tonight I'm sleeping wide awake
Despite closing my eyes, I am still vividly aware of the reality around me
I can't promise we'll be okay
I cannot guarantee that everything will turn out fine
But I'll keep fighting 'til the end
I will persist until there is nothing left to give
To make you feel safe from me
My actions are meant to protect you from myself
I made the darkness sleep again
I have quelled the darkness and its associated fears
To flee the creatures from this land
I have removed the dangers from this space entirely
We're now safe but I can't forget
While we are secured now, I cannot disregard the potential looming peril
Oh, hard a fear
A challenging apprehension
The end
The conclusion of my efforts
