Make Up
Popsicle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stumbling, staggering alone
Felt so tired all at once
Some sence something must be wrong
Wreck a glass and everything
Breathing cold, blue air again
Wish someone would call me back
And then just hold me til I wake up
Hey hey hey
And then I promise I will shape up
Hey hey hey
There's no need to pity me
I'll rise higher then today
It's a temporary stage
There's just nothing you can say
But you can hold me 'til I wake up
Hey hey hey
And then I promise I will shape up
Hey hey hey
There won't be anything to make up
Hey hey hey
Three A.M, I'm going home
Stumbling, staggering alone
Felt so tired all at once
Some sence something must be wrong
Why don't you hold me til I wake up
Hey hey hey
And then I promise I will shape up
Hey hey hey
There won't be anything to make up
Hey hey hey
The lyrics to Popsicle's song Make Up seem to be about someone who has had a long night and is feeling lost and alone. The singer of the song appears to be returning home in the early hours of the morning, with their senses feeling dulled and hazy. They stumble alone through the night, feeling as if something is not quite right.
The chorus of the song, "hold me til I wake up" and "I promise I will shape up" suggests that the singer is aware that they need to change some aspects of their life. They seem to be caught in a cycle of self-destructive behavior and are aware of this fact. However, they are not quite sure how to break the negative patterns in their life, and are reaching out for someone, anyone, to help them.
Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that the singer is looking for love and support, even in the midst of their struggles. The final lines, "there won't be anything to make up" indicate that the singer is looking for forgiveness, and is seeking to move forward in their life, leaving their old habits and mistakes behind.
Line by Line Meaning
Three A.M, I'm going home
I am going home at an early hour of the morning
Stumbling, staggering alone
Walking unsteadily and without balance all by myself
Felt so tired all at once
Suddenly feeling exhausted and weary
Some sence something must be wrong
Having a feeling that something is not right
Wreck a glass and everything
Accidentally breaking a glass and causing chaos
Breathing cold, blue air again
Breathing in freezing, lifeless air once more
Wish someone would call me back
Desiring for someone to return a call
Ask me in and let me stay
Requesting to be invited in and allowed to remain
And then just hold me til I wake up
Hoping for someone to embrace me until I am conscious again
Hey hey hey
Expressing enthusiasm and energy
And then I promise I will shape up
Assuring that I will improve my behavior
There's no need to pity me
It is unnecessary to feel sorry for me
I'll rise higher than today
I will move past my current situation and improve
It's a temporary stage
This is only a brief time period
There's just nothing you can say
There is nothing anyone can do or say to change the circumstance
But you can hold me 'til I wake up
However, someone can comfort me and hold me until I regain consciousness
There won't be anything to make up
I will not need to apologize or reconcile with anyone
