Wake Me Up
Roomie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where it starts
You tell me I'm to young to understand
You say I'm chaught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if
I don't open up my eyes
But that's fine by me
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself and I
Didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself and I
Didn't know I was lost
I tried carying the wheight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Whish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game that's made for everyone
And love is a surprise
So wake me up when it's all over
when I'm whiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself and I
Didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself and I
Didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself and I
Didn't know I was lost
Didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost




Didn't know I was lost
I didn't know, didn't know I was lost

Overall Meaning

"Wake Me Up" by Roomie is a song about finding oneself and enjoying the journey of life, rather than always worrying about the destination. The lyrics describe feeling lost in the darkness and being guided by a beating heart, suggesting an emotional journey. The singer talks about being told they are too young to understand, but they do not mind remaining childlike and lighthearted. They express a desire to travel the world and enjoy life's surprises, rather than being bogged down by the weight of the world. The repetition of the phrase "Wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older" suggests a desire to remain in a state of youthful innocence but indicates an understanding that growth and change are inevitable.


The song has a generally upbeat and lighthearted tone, with its message of enjoying life and not growing up too fast. The repetition of certain phrases creates a kind of mantra, encouraging the listener to let go of anxieties and embrace the present. The song's use of vivid imagery, such as "feeling my way through the darkness" and "carrying the weight of the world," adds to its emotional impact.
