Smoke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't know what to say
He's not listening anyway
Figured since I was five
Since then its been such a great ride
Still asking him for help
It's fine as long as you trust yourself
You wake up and pray
But I don't know what to say
You wake up and pray
But I don't know what to say
The lyrics to Smoke's song "Wake Up Cherylina" convey a complex mix of emotions and introspection.

As the lyrics progress, the singer reflects on their journey since childhood, expressing that they have figured something out since the age of five. This could refer to a realization or understanding that has shaped their life. They acknowledge that despite asking for help from a higher power, it's ultimately up to oneself to trust and rely on their own abilities.
The repetition of the phrase "You wake up and pray, but I don't know what to say" underscores the singer's uncertainty and possibly their struggle to connect with faith and express their needs or desires. Overall, the lyrics explore themes of questioning faith, self-reliance, and the importance of trusting oneself.

You wake up and pray
You start the day with a ritual of seeking divine intervention
But I don't know what to say
But I feel lost and unsure about the appropriate words to utter
He's not listening anyway
However, I doubt if the higher power is truly paying attention to our pleas
Figured since I was five
I realized this ever since I was a young child
Since then its been such a great ride
And since then, life has been filled with ups and downs
Still asking him for help
Yet, I still find myself seeking assistance from the higher power
It's fine as long as you trust yourself
But ultimately, it is important to have faith in one's own abilities
You wake up and pray
Once again, you begin the day with a prayer
But I don't know what to say
However, I am still unsure about the appropriate words to utter
