1) Southern Storm was a heavy/progressive metal band from Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina). The band was founded in December 1998 by Dario Havel and Damir Sinanovic, former members of Postmortem. Shortly after, they were joined by Emir Hot , who had recently left Neon Knights. Emir and Southern Storm parted ways in 2003 due to Emir’s other obligations. He was replaced by Samir Sinanovic.

Adnan Omerovic, former Grotesk bass guitarist, had to leave Southern Storm after a year for personal reasons and was replaced by Mario Vilusic, the ex member of Neon Knights. For quite some time Southern Storm was lacking a lead singer. Nevertheless, first songs were recorded. Elvis Garagic, then the lead vocal of Dugi Put, gave it a try and they were a perfect match.

The music style of Southern Storm in the early stage was defined as melodic heavy rock with progressive and ethnic motives. Later they used to say they play "Heavy" as their music was influenced by bands that have one word in common, and that is "Heavy". The music was created in a modern way, using ethno motives that are melodically and rhythmically characteristical of the surrounding area.

Southern Storm released one studio album named 1999. They were preparing to record another album when the band suddenly fell apart. To this day there are no indications the band might reunite.

2) There is also a RAC band from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia that shares the same name. Formed in 2002, they have released the following three albums: "Suden Sturm" in 2003, "Stormtroopin'" in 2004 and "It's Time to Get Revenge on Our Enemies" in 2009.

Wake Me Up
Southern Storm Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In hope in waiting
I dream my life and dream I live
I see my face
I see my past but something's missed

Day is lost
And life is getting short
Night is coming to take my life and soul

In the hall where everybody fall
In a dream where everybody can feel
Life will be, like misery
Life will be, like misery

Aha get me out of here
From life-dying flame
Wake me up and let me see ...
make me real

I wanna go
But your chains won't set me free
And there's your face
There are your arms around my knees

Day is lost
And life is getting short
From my soul I hear a helpless voice

In the hall where everybody fall
In a dream where everybody can feel
Life will be, like misery
Life will be, like misery

Aha get me out of here
From life-dying flame
Wake me up and let me see ...
make me real

And here I am and there you are
But something between us is making us blind
We live and we die

Aha get me out of here
From life-dying flame

Wake me up and let me see ...
make me real
