Wake Up Call
Russell Allen & Jorn Lande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The demons won't show their faces
The time has come when you can shut reality out
The demons will show their creations
It's not someone else's fight
Only you can make it right
Don't look away, your life is right here
You have been walking through life
You need to stop to fall
This is your wake up call
Escaping from yourself
Will not work no more
You need to see it all
This is your wake up call
Wake up!
Wake up!
There are no more places where you can hide
The evil spirits will find you, oh
It's not someone else's fight
Only you can make it right
Don't look away, your life is right here
You have been walking through life
With your eyes closed
You need to stop to fall
This is your wake up call
Escaping from yourself
Will not work no more
You need to see it all
This is your wake up call
Wake up!
Wake up!
It's not someone else's fight
Only you can make it right
Don't look away, your life is right here
You have been walking through life
With your eyes closed
You need to stop to fall
This is your wake up call
Escaping from yourself
Will not work no more
You need to see it all
This is your wake up call
Oh you need to wake up!
Wake up! This is your wake up call!
The lyrics of "Wake Up Call" by Russell Allen and Jorn Lande reflect a call to self-awareness, strength, and facing reality. The song communicates that the world may be filled with darkness and the demonic, but one can choose not to see it by shutting their eyes to reality. However, this means missing out on life and a call to wake up and embrace all the struggles of the world, including one's personal struggles.
The lyrics explain that running from oneself will no longer work as the evil that exists will find one. One can no longer hide or escape from reality. It is only the individual, and not someone else, who can make everything right. They must accept responsibility for their actions and choose to be self-aware. The chorus emphasizes that this is a "wake-up call" and a bold reminder to confront reality and awaken to one's true self.
In conclusion, this song delivers a motivational message about taking charge of one's life and facing reality head-on. It is a call for self-awareness, strength, and action. It reminds us that we have the power to change our lives, and it is our responsibility to do so. We need to wake up and take control of our lives.
