Wake Up
The U.S. Navy Seals Lyrics

The lyrics of The U.S. Navy Seals' song Wake Up depict the singer's regret and determination to love someone passionately. The opening lines describe the world as a noisy place where nobody is willing to listen, and the singer cannot hear the person's breath. It suggests that the person is no longer there or has gone away. However, the singer's memory will never let go, and they will not be left in the end sitting in a dark street with only their reflection of the person they let go on their mind.

The singer refuses to believe that the person they loved would let go, walk out or abandon them entirely. They regret not holding on and promising to be with them forever. The chorus "Wake up, wake up, I'm alive because of you," implies that the person's presence made them realize the purpose of their existence. They vow to love that person passionately without any excuse or regret. The lines, "I gave my life to you, tired of being laughed at," show that the singer has had enough of negative opinions and judgments from other people around them. They would rather give their life to the one they love than take the criticisms from the people around them.

Overall, the meaning behind the song implies that love is powerful enough to bring people together and make them better, even if such love may bring pain and hurt.
