Wake Up
Stop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up, stop dreaming
The sun is in the sky again
There’s a hole in the ocean
And water’s pouring through
Oh, wake up stop dreaming
And wipe the sleep from your eyes
Are you frightened of heights
Are you falling

Chorus:
Wake up stop dreaming
There’s more than just two steps to heaven
I’m saying if you wanna get to heaven
You’d better wake up
Wake up, stop dreaming
I’m talkin’ ’bout dream and reality
I’m talkin’ ’bout love and brutality
And I’m saying wake up
Wake up

Wake up stop dreaming
Before the shutters start to groan
Well it’s something you said in the noon day sun
But I don’t recall,
I don’t recall

Wake up stop dreaming
Stop this seeming half reality
Don’t turn your face away
Look at me
As you lie sleeping
Someone’s keeping everything I knew
Don’t try to run away
It’s all new





Repeat chorus

La época de los ochenta es y sera la mejor en su genero musical, toda esta musica se bailaba en las discotecas bajo los efectos de las luces y todo el sonido que le ponían las discos, no habrán nunca mas tiempos como estos, todos aquellos que vivieron esta época, comprenderán lo que digo, porque lo vivieron y lo disfrutaron...
