Wise Up
Satori Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why did you scare away your soul?

Now every day you look in the mirror
And what you see is not so clear
It seems the one that you portray
Is not the one you see today

So, wise up up young man with me
Wise up young man, come clean with yourself
Wise up young man, come see
Wise up young man, be free

How did you scare away your soul?

So many times that I have seen
That with right there comes many things
In hope that you will change your ways
I pray that you will fall today

So, wise up up young man with me
Wise up young man, come clean with yourself




Wise up young man, come see
Wise up young man, be free

Overall Meaning

The song "Wise Up" by Satori is a contemplative piece about self-discovery and self-awareness. The opening line, "Why did you scare away your soul?" sets the tone for the entire song, as it speaks to the idea that we often lose touch with our true selves in the chaos of life. The second verse paints a picture of looking in the mirror and not recognizing oneself, indicating a disconnect between outward appearances and inner emotions. The chorus serves as an invitation to confront this disconnect and work towards personal freedom and growth.


The song also speaks to the idea of change and the challenges that come with it. The line, "In hope that you will change your ways, I pray that you will fall today" suggests that sometimes we need to fall in order to learn and grow. It acknowledges the difficulty of change, but also encourages the listener to take risks and push themselves towards self-improvement.
