Until I Wake
Pink Cream 69 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know another drink won't keep my senses clean
Put a gun up to my head, might stop me for a while
I know another shot could get me through the night
But I feel my anger, and I'm so unstable
And I want to hold back, but I'm just not able
So I found redemption in a long white bottle
Until I wake
I need another way to get me loose
I need another way to let my thoughts go free
Cantcha understand that I'm a complicated man?
I need another shot before I tie my noose
But I feel my anger, and I'm so unstable
And I want to hold back, but I'm just not able
So I found redemption in a long white bottle
Could it be I'm desperate? when it keeps me calm
Until I wake, until I wake
Hey yeah it's my mind, yeah it's my way, yeah
And it comforts me, yes it comforts me
But I never felt at ease
And I'm on my bended knees
And nothing can stop me now
Cause I'm loaded
Could I learn my lesson? cantcha feel my anger
Break me, can't make me,
Believe me, yeah!
But I feel my anger, but I feel my anger
But I feel my anger, I feel so alone
But I feel my anger, and I'm so unstable
And I want to hold back, but I'm just not able
So I found redemption in a long white bottle
Could it be I'm desperate? when it keeps me calm
Until I wake, until I wake
The lyrics of Pink Cream 69's song Until I Wake delve into the singer's inner turmoil and addiction. The opening lines that state, "I know another wrong won't make it right, I know another drink won't keep my senses clean" suggest that the character recognizes the consequences of their actions, yet they still feel compelled to continue on this self-destructive path. The line "Put a gun up to my head, might stop me for a while" further emphasizes their desperation and suicidal tendencies, highlighting the gravity of their addiction.
The chorus, "But I feel my anger, and I'm so unstable, And I want to hold back, but I'm just not able, So I found redemption in a long white bottle, Could it be I'm desperate? when it keeps me calm, Until I wake" depicts their struggle to control their emotions. They rely on alcohol to find solace and calmness, but they are aware that it's only a temporary solution until they "wake" and have to face their problems once again.
In the second verse, the lyrics, "Cantcha understand that I'm a complicated man? I need another shot before I tie my noose" suggest that the character feels misunderstood and that their addiction is a result of their complexity. The final lines of the song, "But I feel my anger, and I'm so unstable, And I want to hold back, but I'm just not able, So I found redemption in a long white bottle, Could it be I'm desperate? when it keeps me calm, Until I wake, until I wake" reiterates the vicious cycle of addiction the singer is trapped in.
