WAKE ME UP
The Noises 10 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Half a year gone to waste.
Half the time, I couldn't trace.
oh
And I came to an old farm.
One that I couldn't shake
Won't you help me awake?
Will you wake me up?
Wake me up.
Will you wake me up?
Wake me up.
Before the end, of a line, when we've run out of time.
When the twilight breaks and descends on the coldest end, on the coldest end.
Will you wake me up?
And I held true by her heart.
Till a kiss from Judas pulls her in, pulls us apart.
Will you wake me up?
Wake me up.
Will you wake me up?
Wake me up.
Before the end, of a line, when we've run out of time.
When the twilight breaks and descends on the coldest end, on the coldest end.
Gonna leave you 'lone, can you believe they're gonna leave you in the dark? (echo)
Since you're running on, I believe this is a chance to make a mark.
(wailing)
Before the end, of the line, when we've run out of time.
When the twilight breaks and descends on the coldest end, on the coldest end.
Will you wake me up?
Wake me up.
The Noises 10's song Wake Me Up appears to be an emotive song about feeling lost and disconnected with time, and the singer is seeking help to find a way back. In the first few lines, the song speaks about half a year passing by, and the singer feeling like they have wasted that time, and that they couldn't make sense of it. It is a metaphorical representation of how one feels when they have lost a part of themselves and are unable to retrieve it.
The lyrics go on to describe how the singer came across an old farm, which they couldn't shake off, and they ask for help to awaken them. This is a powerful representation of how we sometimes need outside help to find a way back to our true selves. The idea of needing to be "awakened" can be interpreted as needing to be jolted out of a slumber, or needing to be reminded of who we are and what we stand for.
Further on, the lyrics speak of a romantic betrayal, where the singer is holding true to someone's heart, but then that person is pulled away by someone else. This is a common theme in many love songs, but in this case, it seems to be a representation of how even when we think we have our lives sorted out, we can still be thrown off course by external factors.
Overall, Wake Me Up is a heartfelt song about the sense of being lost and seeking help to find one's way back. It touches on themes of time, betrayal, and the need for support and guidance from others to overcome life's challenges.
