WAKE ME UP
Scott Hoying Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
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 carrying the weight 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
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is a prize
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
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
In Scott Hoying's song Wake Me Up, he sings about feeling his way through the darkness with only his heart to guide him. He doesn't know where his journey will end, but he knows where to start. Despite people telling him he's too young to understand, he refuses to let life pass him by without opening his eyes to the world around him. Hoying admits to trying to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders, but realizes that he only has two hands. He dreams of traveling the world but doesn't yet have any plans. He wishes to stay forever young and not be afraid to close his eyes, knowing that life is a game made for everyone, and love is the ultimate prize. The chorus of the song acts as a plea, asking someone to wake him up when it's all over, when he's wiser and older, and has found himself along the way.
The lyrics of Wake Me Up resonate with many people, especially those who are young and searching for their place in the world. The idea of finding oneself is a universal theme that people of all ages can relate to. Many people also struggle with the weight of the world on their shoulders, feeling like they are carrying too much burden for one person to handle. The idea of being awakened when you're older, wiser, and have found yourself is a comforting thought, showing that there is always hope for someone who is lost.

Scott Hoying: he makes weekly videos for the Internet, is in a band, spends most of his time making songs for that band, is on tour a lot of the time, so in his spare time he makes wonders like this? This guy is inhuman!

Okay, watching this in 2016 and realizing that this guy deserves so much more credit than he gets, between Superfruit PTX and everything else he still manages to make freakin awesome music solo, not to mention playing all the instruments himself and just being so incredible, this is crazy...
