Every Waking Moment
The Generators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She tries to keep it together
But it always comes apart
She wears all the hurt
Ahe wears it like a charm
And she doesnÂ't sleep at night
She lies awake
With every waking moment
With every breath that she fights to take
There is just one more hopeless thought
that sheÂ's goes on to contimplate
Jennys got herself another game to play
She got reasons oh way too many to name
SheÂ's gonna cut to the chase
Let the chips fall where they may
SheÂ's going to pull out the pin
And watch it
Drop from this hand grenade
With every waking moment
When all the walls just cave on in
Any lights that used to shine
No longer finds
ItÂ's way on in
With every waking moment
SheÂ's crawling right out from under her skin
All strung out and wired up
Ready for the big show to begin
SheÂ's got a million reasons now
And the darkness is calling her out
And she canÂ't figure it out
ItÂ's a one way ticket down
The lyrics to The Generators' song "Every Waking Moment" tell a story of a woman named Jenny who is dealing with a broken heart. Despite her efforts to keep it together, her heart continually falls apart. She carries the weight of her pain and wears it like a charm, unable to find solace even in the darkness of night. With each waking moment, she fights to breathe and is consumed by hopeless thoughts.
Jenny seeks distraction by immersing herself in various games and endeavors. She has countless reasons, too many to name, for engaging in these activities. She decides to cut to the chase and let the consequences of her actions unfold as they may. This is symbolized by her willingness to pull out the pin of a hand grenade and watch it drop, indicating her readiness to embrace the chaos and destruction that may come.
Amidst all the chaos and internal struggles, Jenny finds herself trapped in a cycle of despair. The walls around her seem to collapse, and any glimmer of light or hope that she once had now eludes her. Every waking moment becomes a battle for her to emerge from beneath her own skin, feeling overwhelmed and on edge. She becomes like a tightly strung wire, anticipating the start of a grand performance.

And the darkness is calling her out
Her troubles and struggles are enticing her
And she canÂ't figure it out
And she cannot comprehend it
ItÂ's a one way ticket down
It is a path towards downfall with no return
