Wise Up
Somersault Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you thought
When you first began it
You got
What you want
You can hardly stand it though,
But now you know
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
You're sure
There's a cure
And you have finally found it
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down
No, it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
Prepare a list of what you need
Before you sign away the deed
No, it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
So just give up
The lyrics to "Wise Up" by Somersault could be interpreted as a commentary on the cycle of addiction and self-destruction that many people find themselves in. The singer starts out with high hopes and excitement, but instead of finding satisfaction in their pursuits, they end up feeling stuck and unfulfilled. They turn to drugs or alcohol in an attempt to dull the pain, but this only exacerbates their problems. They know deep down that they need to make a change, but they keep putting it off, hoping for a miraculous cure to their troubles.
As the song progresses, the singer begins to realize that they can't keep living this way. They start to see that there's no easy fix for their problems and that they need to take responsibility for their own happiness. They make a deliberate effort to prepare themselves for the challenges ahead, knowing that they can't simply sign away their troubles to someone else. The song ends with a sense of resignation - the singer knows that they have a long road ahead of them, but they're ready to face it head-on.
Overall, "Wise Up" is a powerful reminder of the importance of personal agency and introspection. It shows that while it's tempting to rely on external factors to solve our problems, ultimately we have to take control of our own lives if we want to find lasting happiness.
