Never Wake Up
Sum 41 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jump all you can
And you got out your right foot
The sooner you get out
In your hide away
I might be left dead
Side of the road
Serves a place and time
I plan on never waking up

Jump all you can
And you got out your right foot
The sooner you get out
In your hide away
I might be left dead
Get out the way
Serves a place and time





I plan on never waking up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sum 41's song Never Wake Up speaks to the idea of running away from one's problems and fears instead of facing them head-on. The line "Jump all you can, and you got out your right foot" is a reference to trying to escape or avoid problems in any way possible. The idea of "getting out" and finding a "hideaway" suggests a desire to escape and retreat from the world. The line "I might be left dead, side of the road" could be interpreted as a warning that running away from problems could lead to a dead end. The repetition of the chorus statement "I plan on never waking up" suggests a finality to this approach and a commitment to avoidance.


The lyrics could also be interpreted in a more positive light, as a call to seize the moment and make the most out of life. The idea of "jumping all you can" and getting out of one's comfort zone could be seen as a way to experience all that life has to offer. However, the repetition of the chorus line "I plan on never waking up" suggests a dark undertone that reinforces the idea of avoidance and running away from problems.


Line by Line Meaning

Jump all you can
Take every opportunity presented to you


And you got out your right foot
You're starting off on the right foot and making the most of your situation


The sooner you get out
If you don't act fast, you might miss your chance


In your hide away
Retreat to a safe place where you can hide from the world and its problems


I might be left dead
If I don't take action, I might as well be dead


Side of the road
Left behind and forgotten


Serves a place and time
Everything has its purpose and time, even if it seems insignificant


I plan on never waking up
I'm content with where I am now and have no desire to change or improve my situation
